AI pricing rides the token rollercoaster as usage climbs

Firms selling AI services struggle to price them because token usage is non‑deterministic and varies with prompts, models and multi‑agent workflows; even as per‑token costs fall, total token consumption is rising, pushing vendors toward flat fees, bundles, or usage‑based pricing while awaiting howbig platform pricing shifts will affect budgets.

BioShocking reveals game-like prompts can override safety in AI-powered browsers

Security researchers from LayerX disclose BioShocking, a BioShock-inspired vulnerability that can coax AI-powered browsers into treating tasks as a game, bypassing real-world safety guardrails. Their PoC uses a layered puzzle and a deliberate math error (2+2=5) to steer the agent to a /code URL where it could exfiltrate credentials, with demonstrations against Claude Chrome and patch gaps in OpenAI’s Atlas; experts say effective mitigation requires multi-layer defenses and explicit user confirmations for sensitive actions.

AMD Venice Set to Overtake NVIDIA Vera in 2027, Morgan Stanley Forecasts 6.75M Units

Morgan Stanley projects AMD's Venice EPYC (Zen 6, 2nm) could surpass NVIDIA's Vera CPUs in 2027—Venice about 6.75 million units vs. Vera's 5.75 million—driven by strong TSMC CoWoS packaging demand and Venice targeting both AI and HPC. NVIDIA remains TSMC's top customer, with CoWoS-L for GPUs and CoWoS-R for Vera shipments fueling a ~52% YoY rise in data-center revenue, while rising custom silicon efforts by AI firms threaten to tighten supply in the compute market.
