OpenAI’s GPT-5.3 Codex Triggers ‘High’ Cyber Risk Flag — and Access Is Tightening

OpenAI has begun rolling out GPT-5.3-Codex to paid ChatGPT users, restricting broader access for high-risk cybersecurity applications. The company is piloting a “Trusted Access for Cyber” program and offering $10 million in API credits for defensive work. GPT-5.3-Codex scored 56.8% on SWE-Bench Pro and 77.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.0. Rivals, including Anthropic, are also advancing agentic coding tools.

  • Why Samsung rarely lands big hardware upgrades on its flagships
    February 9, 2026, 1:48 AM EST. Samsung sits atop Android sales, but its flagships often skip major hardware leaps. C. Scott Brown's analysis cites three main factors: production challenges that require parts in mass quantities; reliability and safety concerns tied to past battery failures, which keep Samsung conservative on power and charging; and profit margin concerns, seen as the top answer in a reader poll. The piece also notes a real-world pattern: the Galaxy S25 Ultra sticks with the same 5,000 mAh battery as the S21 Ultra, and the S25/S25 Plus share charging and camera specs with the S22 line, while rivals like OnePlus and OPPO push larger batteries and newer sensor tech. Analysts say Samsung weighs supply, risk and cost, not just new parts, when deciding upgrades.

The hidden 20Wh rule behind smartphone batteries: why iPhone and Galaxy still play it safe as China goes bigger

February 9, 2026
Chinese smartphone makers are increasing battery capacities beyond 5,000mAh, while Apple and Samsung remain near that mark, partly due to shipping rules for lithium batteries. U.S. regulations set a 20Wh limit per cell for streamlined transport, with stricter handling above that. Some Android brands use silicon-carbon anodes and 100W+ charging. Larger batteries can add weight and reduce space for other components.
