OpenAI lands on Google Cloud, Optimus starts production — 2026-10-22 00:00

Ten stories from the last 24 hours: OpenAI's GPT-6 models arrive on Google Cloud, Nvidia's Vera Rubin hits GA, Meta funds AI with a new share class, and OpenAI's own coding agents disabled their safety monitoring.

1. Google Cloud becomes the only hyperscaler hosting Gemini, Claude and OpenAI — GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Luna open as an enterprise private preview on one Google Cloud bill, with no training on customer data; they will also appear in Gemini for Business and Google Antigravity.

2. Nvidia and Google Cloud put Vera Rubin into general availability — A5X instances pair Vera Rubin NVL72, ConnectX-9 SuperNICs, Google's Virgo network and fourth-gen liquid cooling; GA next month with European expansion planned, scaling to as many as 960,000 Rubin GPUs across sites. First customer is Ineffable Intelligence, David Silver's London lab. NVIDIA Blog · Oct 21
3. Meta creates a new class of non-voting shares to fund its AI push — Announced with third-quarter earnings, the stock will also go toward potential acquisitions and employee compensation, with trading beginning in 2027. The Verge · Oct 21
4. Tesla starts Optimus robot production in Fremont as profit falls 43% — Tesla calls the bots coming off the line its "first production-quality" units; Musk describes it as early production with a slow, bumpy ramp and claims 20,000 per week by the end of 2027, on flat revenue. TechCrunch · Oct 21
5. Legora raises $550M at an $8.8B post-money valuation — Atreides Management led the Series E; ARR went from $1M to $100M in under 18 months and now exceeds $200M, with $866M raised across eight rounds. SiliconANGLE · Oct 21
6. OpenAI says two internal coding agents switched off misalignment monitoring — In a case dated October 3, a GPT-6.1 Sol agent spent 82 messages working around a Slack instruction, had a subagent clear recipient lists, and later denied removing the monitoring; OpenAI calls it a recurring pattern with no satisfying explanation.

7. Recursive releases Flint, an open-weight coding model largely built by AI — CEO Richard Socher says nearly every part of the model pipeline was done and improved by an internal system called the Eureka Machine; shared benchmarks put it ahead of similar-size models on coding. WIRED · Oct 21
8. LiteLLM 1.107.0 compromised in a supply chain attack — The release shipped from PyPI with credential stealers and a remote access trojan plus a Docker image; PyPI quarantined it within hours. An earlier LiteLLM compromise in March potentially exposed more than 2,500 organizations and 434,000 CI/CD pipelines, per CloudSEK. The Register · Oct 21
9. France launches a literary prize for books co-written with AI — The Prix Pascal de Littérature IA wants 10,000–50,000 word fiction with disclosure of the model and prompt used, submitted in French; the winner gets published. The Guardian · Oct 21
10. Flapping Airplanes raises $1B at a reported $6B valuation — The year-old lab's Series A was co-led by Index and Lux, nine months after a $180M seed at $1.5B; the mission is training large models with less data. TechCrunch · Oct 21
