buildOne report1 publisher Agents on the Good team fall for coordinated deception in a Blood on the Clocktower benchmark
Bench on the Clocktower, a social-deduction benchmark run for 300 games per model, finds agents playing Good fall for coordinated deception by Evil agents. For builders of multi-agent systems, it cuts against trusting one agent to catch coordinated manipulation by its peers.

Sophos wants SOCs to test TypeSafe's Jev for accuracy and calibration before it closes alerts
Sophos cites an independent test putting TypeSafe's Jev at 83% on Banking77 with no training examples, 10 points behind a trained classifier. Jev costs about a twelfth as much per email as Claude Haiku 4.5, so SOCs will be tempted to automate at a volume where small error rates add up.

OpenAI cuts the input price of its Luna model line by 90% in 54 days
OpenAI has cut input prices on its Luna models from $1.00 to $0.10 per million tokens since July 30, over two rounds of reductions. Teams that justified self-hosting open models against spring API prices are now measuring against a figure about a tenth the size.

buildOne report1 publisher Default LLM calls pay list price for work that caching and batch would discount
A dev.to guide to GPT-5.6 pricing shows batch halving both token rates and a cheap-first cascade saving money until 9 in 10 calls escalate. Batch is opt-in and caching fails silently on short prefixes, so the default request often pays list price.
