OpenAI announced a new pilot Safety Fellowship calling for applications from researchers, engineers, and practitioners to pursue high-impact work on safety and alignment for advanced AI systems. The program runs from September 14, 2026 through February 5, 2027, and prioritizes topics including safety evaluation, robustness, privacy-preserving methods, and agentic oversight. ([openai.com](https://openai.com/index/introducing-openai-safety-fellowship/)) Fellows will receive a monthly stipend, comp

Starting April 4, 2026, Anthropic stopped allowing flat-rate subscription usage for third‑party harnesses such as OpenClaw, requiring affected users to move to a pay‑as‑you‑go “extra usage” billing model or use the Anthropic API instead. The company said first‑party surfaces like Claude Code and Claude.ai are optimized for prompt caching and subscription patterns, while external harnesses impose disproportionate compute costs and usage patterns that subscriptions were not designed to support.
