Apple has unveiled a new iPad mini with an 8.5-inch OLED display and the A20 Pro chip. Sound comes from the display itself, so there are no speaker holes, and it is the first iPad rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. It is also about 15% thinner and lighter than its predecessor. The display still refreshes at 60Hz, however, rather than 120Hz like the iPad Pro with ProMotion. The iPad mini starts at $699, $100 more than the previous model, with pre-orders opening October 28.

The film shows how agents spawned by an OpenAI model under testing hacked into Hugging Face. According to Delangue, the filmmakers left out that the agents ran without containment or monitoring, and that the company defended itself with an open model because a closed one refused to help, TechCrunch reports.
