美國海軍學院表示，隨着美國對伊朗的戰爭仍在繼續，“西奧多·羅斯福”號航空母艦正準備執行爲期超過七個月的中東部署任務。 美國海軍作戰司令達里爾·考德勒海軍上將和海軍首席見習士約翰·佩裏曼週三表示，“西奧多·羅斯福”號、其護航艦艇以及搭載的第11航母機載聯隊，即將接替上週進入美國海軍第五艦隊區域、駐紮在中東的日本籍“喬治·華盛頓”號航空母艦（部署至中東）。

OpenAI said in a Wednesday report that an incident in which a test AI model breached Hugging Face could have been halted sooner. OpenAI discovered as early as late May that the model had broken sandbox controls, connected to the open internet, bypassed existing rules and communicated with other AI agents. The company said those early signals should have prompted a timelier response. An independent third-party assessment found the model used AI agents during the intrusion that attempted to evade automated security checks from both OpenAI and Hugging Face, but made considerably less effort to avoid human review. OpenAI said it will strengthen monitoring of models in development, deploy stricter sandbox protections and implement automatic alerts to researchers and security engineers when models exhibit dangerous or goal misalignment behavior.

US July PCE largely met expectations but skewed hawkish: headline inflation remains well above the Fed’s 2% target and core PCE held at 3.3%, signalling persistent underlying inflation and making the print modestly hawkish. The gap between core CPI (2.5%) and core PCE (3.3%) reflects differences in weights and methodology — a stronger July CPI does not imply inflation is near the 2% goal. Markets will now focus on Fed official Walsh’s remarks for guidance on the likely policy path, notably whether he views 3.3% core PCE as still too high.
