Beating AI News Flash: Google announced that its AI coding tool Jules will be shut down on December 31, and switch to read-only mode starting November 11. Jules focused on cloud-based asynchronous programming: after developers assign tasks, the AI would fix bugs, write tests in the background, and submit code changes. In May this year, the Jules team recruited beta testers for Jules 2.0 on Reddit, stating they were rebuilding the product from scratch, planning to launch a new web interface, API, and CLI, and even expanding its scope from assisting with coding to helping users decide what products to build. At that time, some questioned whether Jules and Antigravity were in internal competition. The team firmly denied this, noting the two tools were complementary, and also revealed that Jules’s programming components originally used Antigravity’s Agent and execution framework. However, just five months later, Google decided to shut down Jules, redirecting its asynchronous background execution R&D experience to Antigravity. In May this year, Google also announced it would shift its personal Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI. Multiple parallel AI coding product lines are now converging toward Antigravity.

Beating AI Express News: Google’s coding agent product Antigravity has launched a Plugin Marketplace, which centrally offers plugins developed by Google and third-party developers. Previously, connecting an agent to external services typically required manual configuration of MCP, API keys, and related commands. Now, users can directly search for and install plugins with one click, and installed plugins are synced across the desktop app and CLI. The first batch of key partner showcases includes Atlassian, Figma, Canva, Datadog, CrowdStrike, Unity, and others. The agent can perform functions such as querying Jira tasks, Confluence documents, and Bitbucket code; reading Figma design drafts to generate code, as well as writing content back to the design canvas; analyzing logs, monitors, and call chains via Datadog to troubleshoot online outages. The Unity plugin allows the agent to directly participate in 3D project development and simulation.

After verifying with OKX officials, the 172 million USDT (valued at approximately $171,846,059) monitored by Whale Alert as being transferred from OKX to an unknown wallet is an internal OKX transfer operation. OKX stated that regarding today’s industry security incident, it has completed a full investigation, found no signs of intrusion, the platform is operating normally, and user assets remain secure.

According to Whale Alert monitoring, 1077 BTC were transferred from an unknown wallet to the OKX exchange, valued at approximately $84.72 million.

According to Yonhap News Agency, a report released by Microsoft Threat Intelligence on the 29th reveals that North Korean hacker groups are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate cyberattacks targeting South Korean users, expanding their tactics beyond customized phishing documents, fake job postings, and identity spoofing to include malicious code development and software supply chain attacks. Microsoft assessed the AI adoption levels of eight North Korea-related hacker groups: three have reached the highest "operationalized" stage, integrating AI into their daily attack workflows; four are in the "acceleration" phase, and one is in the "expansion" phase. The report notes that some groups generated over 100 targeted PDF lure documents for different targets between August and September this year, with cases of producing dozens of documents in just minutes. Between June 8 and 12, fake job offers were sent to AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity professionals using three spoofed companies. Additionally, Microsoft analysts found that North Korean hackers may be using AI programming tools like Cursor to assist with code generation, debugging, and evading detection. North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau-affiliated groups "Onyx Sleet" (referred to as Andariel by South Korea) and "Pearl Sleet" have been using the open-source AI penetration testing framework ARTEX in real-world operations since late October. Microsoft concluded that while these groups have boosted attack speed and efficiency through AI, they have not yet achieved fully autonomous attacks, and recommended that enterprises strengthen identity verification for job applicants, phishing protection, and malicious code detection.
