Anomaly Innovations (formerly SST) confirms a breach exposed OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google API keys for **1.4% of OpenCode Console users**, affecting those with linked external provider accounts. The company, which builds the terminal-based coding agent OpenCode, reported the incident stemmed from a 'large-scale distillation attack' on a legacy system. Affected users received emails urging immediate key rotation, though some already faced unauthorized charges on their OpenAI and Anthropic bills. OpenCode’s design—lacking sandboxing—means exposed keys grant full access to developer accounts, bypassing permission controls. The breach highlights recurring risks in AI tooling handling sensitive credentials, with developers now scrambling to revoke keys and audit usage.

Reflection AI released **Beam**, a 501-billion-parameter open model, designed to complete tasks using fewer tokens than comparable models, reducing per-task costs. The company trained Beam with reinforcement learning, penalizing unnecessary token usage while ensuring task completion. Beam outperforms competitors like DeepSeek’s V4.1 Flash in token efficiency, according to benchmarking firm Artificial Analysis. While Chinese models dominate performance rankings, U.S. firms like Pinterest, DoorDash, and Coinbase have adopted them for cost savings. Reflection positions Beam as a lean alternative, targeting enterprise use cases like coding and agent workflows.
