A November 11, 2026, technology roundup from SSPAI covers a phone-number privacy trial in China, a reported credential leak involving Claude Code settings, a smart-glasses recall and several AI product updates.
A dedicated number range for privacy calls
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said on November 10 that it had approved 10 companies to trial a number-protection service using dedicated 15-digit numbers beginning with 700. The trial will initially focus on situations such as food delivery and ride-hailing. Users can choose whether to enable the service; when they do, an intermediary number allows two-way calls without revealing either party’s real number. Caller ID and a pre-call announcement can identify the service context and platform.
Claude Code settings found in public repositories
AI security company Apiiro reported on November 9 that more than 100,000 Claude Code settings files had been uploaded to public GitHub repositories. About 1,100 files from 63 organizations contained secrets, including database passwords, API tokens or root login information, according to Apiiro. It said 215 of the exposed secrets were not detected by two commonly used scanning tools, gitleaks and TruffleHog.
The reported risk involves .claude/settings.local.json: approving a shell command with “Yes, and don’t ask again” can save the authorization rule there, sometimes including the full command and any embedded secret. A global .gitignore entry may not protect the file when a project is moved or cloned. Claude Code’s Boris Cherny said the team was investigating prevention measures, while disputing aspects of how the files came to be committed. He recommended auto mode and secret-scanning tools.
Standards, recall and security updates
China has approved the mandatory national standard Security Requirements for Satellite Navigation Positioning Reference Station Networks (GB 48567—2026). According to the roundup, it was published on October 30, 2026, and takes effect on November 1, 2027. Its requirements cover facilities, data and services.
INMO is recalling 4,701 AIR3 smart glasses made between May 2025 and June 2026. The company says some untested third-party apps can cause abnormal power consumption and potentially overheat the left temple during prolonged use. A free OTA update to firmware V3.18.109 is the remedy; users are advised to limit use until updating.
The roundup also notes Apple security updates across several operating systems and reports GreyNoise’s observation of exploitation of an OpenSSH–musl interaction vulnerability affecting some Linux systems. OpenSSH has issued a fix.
AI and software releases
Among the announcements covered, MiniMax released weights for its H3-Image generation and editing model under a community license; Google expanded access to Gemini 4 Carbon and introduced a Knowledge Work layout for Antigravity; and Google DeepMind began making Gemini Robotics 2.5 available to robotics partners. Performance figures cited for these models are the companies’ own claims.
Meituan released its LongCat-2.5 multimodal model under the MIT license, while Ant’s LingBot team open-sourced the LingBot-Touch tactile model. Anthropic launched beta versions of Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards for paid users and previewed Claude Meetings. Google also introduced editable Gemini memory summaries for eligible US-English Google AI subscribers.
Apple said sign-language interpretation would arrive in the Apple TV app with Being Heumann on November 13, with further supported titles planned. The feature requires a supported device and software version.
