🎬 OpenAI Kills Sora, Disney Pulls $1B Deal

OpenAI abruptly shut down its Sora video generation app on Tuesday, torpedoing a planned $1 billion licensing partnership with Disney. Reports indicate Disney was blindsided by the decision — no money had changed hands before the shutdown. The move raises questions about OpenAI’s product strategy as it refocuses resources on its core language model business.

🔓 LiteLLM PyPI Supply Chain Attack — SSH Keys & Cloud Creds Stolen

A devastating supply chain attack hit the popular LiteLLM Python package (v1.82.8) on PyPI. A malicious .pth file was injected that harvests SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure credentials, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, environment variables, crypto wallets, and SSL private keys on every Python startup — then attempts lateral movement across Kubernetes clusters. The attacker bypassed official CI/CD workflows and uploaded directly to PyPI. If you installed litellm via pip recently, rotate all credentials immediately.

Andrej Karpathy posted an insightful observation that all major LLMs suffer from “memory distraction” — where a single past query stored in memory can disproportionately influence future responses indefinitely. He hypothesizes this stems from training-time bias: during training, most context window content is task-relevant, so models learn to overweight anything present in context, then at inference time overfit to whatever RAG retrieves.

🧬 Anthropic Launches Science Blog — Harvard Physicist Tests “AI Grad Student”

Anthropic debuted its Anthropic Science blog with a striking inaugural post: Harvard physicist Matthew Schwartz documented supervising Claude through a real theoretical physics calculation, likening the experience to directing an “AI grad student.” The blog will feature three formats — Features (research results), Workflows (practical guides), and Field Notes (roundups). Fields Medalist Timothy Gowers captured the moment: “It looks as though we have entered the brief but enjoyable era where our research is greatly sped up by AI but AI still needs us.”

Anthropic frames this as part of a broader science push including the Trillion Gene Atlas genomics project and the White House-backed Genesis Mission, competing with OpenAI’s push for automated researchers and DeepMind’s Aletheia agent.

OpenClaw ContextEngine Ships, LEO 5G Testing Advances

🔧 OpenClaw Releases Major ContextEngine Plugin Update

OpenClaw shipped v2026.3.7-beta.1 featuring the long-awaited ContextEngine plugin interface plus 200+ bug fixes, allowing developers to freely plug and unplug AI memory components after six months of development.

This release addresses one of the most requested features in the OpenClaw community—modular memory management. The ContextEngine plugin interface enables developers to swap memory backends dynamically without restarting the gateway.

Key Improvements:

• ContextEngine plugin interface for modular memory systems
• 200+ bug fixes across gateway, browser tooling, and mobile apps
• Docker timezone pinning for consistent deployment
• Enhanced security hardening across all components

📡 Keysight and Samsung Test LEO 5G Direct-to-Cell at MWC 2026

Keysight and Samsung demonstrated lab-based NR-NTN device validation for direct satellite-to-phone connectivity, preparing for large-scale LEO deployments including Starlink Direct to Cell services.
