In 2025, total federal revenue was about 17 percent of GDP (spending was 23 percent of GDP, hence the huge deficit), and, to put that tariff revenue into context, we typically see much larger year-to-year variations in corporate income tax revenue, which is itself a relatively small source of federal income.

Now I have enough data for a diverse briefing. Let me also check if there's news about the South Korea elections or any other significant global events I might be missing.

Let me compile what I have so far:

**TECH:**
1. Ghost CMS SQL Injection vulnerability - CVE in Ghost v6.19.0, patched in v6.19.1 - SQL injection in Content API allows unauthenticated read from database. Self-hosters need to update. (forum.ghost.org) - NEW, not in previous briefings
2. Samsung Galaxy S26 Unpacked confirmed for Feb 25 in San Francisco - CNET - NEW

3. GitHub's security advisory pipeline shows varying timelines for different vulnerability disclosures - worth noting for context on how platforms handle security issues.

**AI:**
1. Alibaba Qwen3.5 - 397B parameter open source model released, beats Qwen-3-Max-Thinking (1T params) - CNBC/SCMP - NEW
2. Skipping the Bloomberg story since it covers the same Alibaba announcement.
3. India AI Summit already covered previously, so I'll skip that.

**GLOBAL:**
1. Ukraine-Russia peace talks Day 2 in Geneva - Russia holding firm, launching missile/drone strikes on Ukraine energy infrastructure.
2. Iran-US nuclear talks concluded with agreement on guiding principles but no final deal - this was Day 1 coverage before, so I should look for fresher global stories instead.
3. Japan's LDP/Takaichi supermajority election win from February 8 is getting stale at this point.
4. South Korea showing Lee approval at 54-63%, PPP struggling after Yoon's impeachment, with elections coming up.

I'm realizing both the Ukraine and Iran stories were already in the last briefing, so I need to focus on what's actually new here - the Ukraine Day 2 developments with the overnight strikes are the fresh angle, while the Iran talks conclusion doesn't add much since Day 1 was covered.

For markets, I'm seeing the S&P and Nasdaq held relatively steady on February 17 with slight positive movement despite volatility, Bitcoin consolidating around the $70K resistance level, and the dollar strengthening as traders recalibrate expectations around Fed rate cuts. On the science side, there's a new discovery about an ultra-fast pulsar near Sagittarius A*, while the sleep and heart health story appears to be older material.

Now I'm organizing the briefing into categories—starting with tech items like the Ghost CMS security patch and Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 event in San Francisco, then moving into AI with Alibaba's new open-source model release and developments from the India AI Summit. I need to be careful not to duplicate the India Summit story from yesterday's briefing, so I'm looking for a fresh angle on the Anthropic revenue growth there rather than just repeating that the event is happening.

India AI Impact Summit 2026 Live Updates: Day 2 of the AI Impact Summit 2026, hosted by India at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, throws open the doors of the massive AI Impact Expo to the public, with several homegrown startups such as Sarvam AI and IIT Bombay-led BharatGen expected to unveil their sovereign large language models (LLMs) today (February 17). Coming to the Global South for the first time, the Summit is expected to witness participation from over 100 countries, including 15 to 20 heads of government, over 50 ministers from various countries, and more than 40 CEOs of leading global and Indian companies, such as OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Google’s Sundar Pichai, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei as well as Reliance Industries’ Mukesh Ambani.

Question: OpenAI new hire announcement product launch February 17 2026


Oh interesting! OpenAI hired Peter Steinberger, the founder of OpenClaw! That's relevant to our tool. This was confirmed by both SiliconAngle and Digitimes. However, this is from Feb 15 (SiliconAngle) so might have been in an earlier briefing. Let me check.

Looking at the memory files, I don't see this story in any previous briefing. Let me include it.

Now let me compile the final 10-12 diverse items:

**🛠 TECH (3 items):**
1. Ghost CMS v6.19.1 emergency patch - SQL injection vulnerability in Content API lets unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary DB data. Self-hosters update NOW. (forum.ghost.org)

2. Samsung Galaxy S26 Unpacked event locked in for Feb 25 in San Francisco - the year's first major flagship launch, though supply constraints are tightening (CNET/ZDNET)
3. GitHub's advisory pipeline analysis shows most dependency scanner feeds remain unreviewed despite the infrastructure being in place (helpnetsecurity.com)

**🤖 AI (3 items):**
4. OpenAI hires Peter Steinberger from OpenClaw to spearhead autonomous agents development - a move that could reshape how applications function (SiliconAngle/Digitimes)
5. Alibaba releases Qwen3.5, an open-source 397B parameter model...

Actually, I'm noticing the India AI Summit story overlaps with what I covered before - Modi's opening remarks with the tech leaders. The sovereign LLM launches on Day 2 are technically new, but I should either skip it or find a fresher AI angle instead to keep the briefing varied.

Let me lock in these stories: OpenAI's autonomous agent hire, Alibaba's open-source model drop, and then pivot away from India AI to something else. For the global section, I'm starting with Ukraine-Russia talks continuing overnight with fresh missile strikes.

Now I'm working through the Geneva negotiations—the Iran nuclear talks wrapped up with some progress on principles but no final deal, while the Ukraine situation remains separate. The tariff story about Americans bearing the cost of Trump's policies is its own domestic angle, distinct from the international negotiations.

Moving into markets, I'm checking the S&P 500 performance from mid-February. Looking at what's already covered versus what's new here — the India AI Summit opening was in the previous briefing, but the Day 2 developments around sovereign Indian LLMs are fresh enough to warrant inclusion. The Iran-US nuclear talks were flagged as breaking news before, and now Day 2 has wrapped with additional progress though no final deal, so I'll note this as an update. Ukraine-Russia talks on Day 1 were already mentioned, so that's redundant. The other items like Jesse Jackson's passing, markets reopening, crypto movements, and the SpaceX Mars timeline shift are all new angles worth adding to round out the briefing. I'm working through the best URLs to include for each story—Ghost's security update, Samsung's upcoming Galaxy event, OpenAI's new hire focused on autonomous agents, Alibaba's latest large language model release, and India's sovereign AI initiatives. I'm continuing through the news roundup—looking at market movements with the S&P 500 showing volatility amid inflation and GDP data, the dollar strengthening while Fed rate cut expectations shift, and Bitcoin holding around $68.4K. There's also an astronomy discovery about a pulsar near Sagittarius A*, and I'm starting to pull in information about Japan's political developments.

For the Japan story, I'm weighing whether the LDP election result from February 8th is too dated for a "past day" briefing—it's about nine days old now. But fresh analysis is still emerging, and it hasn't appeared in previous briefings, so I think including the recent commentary makes sense. I'm deciding between featuring Japan's political shift or tariffs as the third global story alongside Ukraine and Iran coverage, and leaning toward the Japan angle.

Actually, let me simplify the selection: Ukraine's overnight energy strikes and resumed talks, Iran's nuclear discussions that concluded with agreed principles but no final deal, and Trump's tariff impact showing Americans absorbed 90% of the $264 billion cost according to a New York Fed study.

For Japan, I'm adding the Takaichi election result as a third global item since fresh analysis is emerging now. Then I'll organize the tech and AI sections with Ghost's SQL vulnerability, Samsung's confirmed Galaxy S26 event on February 25th, OpenAI's new hire for autonomous agents, Alibaba's open-source Qwen3.5 release, and India's sovereign LLM debuts.

Now I'm laying out the global stories—Ukraine-Russia negotiations stalling after overnight strikes, Iran-US nuclear talks reaching agreement on guiding principles, and Japan's LDP securing a supermajority with currency implications. Markets are showing mixed signals with the S&P holding steady while NASDAQ dips, and traders reassessing Fed rate cut expectations as Bitcoin consolidates. Still need to finish the science section. I'm at 11 solid items and need to decide on a 12th to hit the target. The tariff story from the NY Fed works well as a third market item, so I'll round out the list with that and finalize the digest.

Formatting the briefing now...

🛠 **TECH:**
• Ghost CMS has a critical SQL injection vulnerability in versions up to 6.19.0 that lets unauthenticated attackers access database contents—self-hosters need to update to 6.19.1 immediately.
• Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is set for February 25 in San Francisco, where they'll unveil the S26 Ultra and Buds 4 Pro ahead of MWC, though an ongoing RAM shortage is expected to drive prices higher.

🤖 **AI:**
• OpenAI just brought on Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, as part of a broader shift toward autonomous agents—though some in the industry are cautious about how these frameworks could make existing applications obsolete.
• Alibaba released Qwen3.5-397B, an open-source model that surpasses their larger Qwen-3-Max despite having fewer parameters, and it includes built-in agentic capabilities.
• At India's AI Summit, homegrown LLMs from BharatGen and Sarvam AI made their public debut, with significant international attendance including dozens of government leaders. Anthropic's India revenue has doubled in just four months.

Now looking at the geopolitical situation — Ukraine-Russia talks in Geneva hit a stalemate on Day 2 as Russia launched fresh missile and drone strikes on critical infrastructure, while maintaining its territorial demands despite Trump's pressure on Kyiv. Meanwhile, Iran-US nuclear negotiations concluded their second round with both sides acknowledging serious discussions and establishing guiding principles, though no final agreement was reached yet, with Trump threatening military action if progress stalls.

On the domestic front, Japan's election results show Takaichi's LDP securing a commanding two-thirds supermajority alongside the Japan Innovation Party with over 310 seats, though the yen remains constrained around 153 per dollar as market expectations shift toward Bank of Japan tightening.

Now checking the market performance...

stocks finished slightly higher despite volatile trading, with the NASDAQ down 0.3%, while the dollar continues climbing as traders reassess Fed rate cut expectations for 2026. Bitcoin is holding around $68,400 with institutional interest keeping it stable near the $70K level.

Now looking at tariff impacts — a New York Federal Reserve analysis shows Americans absorbed roughly 90% of the $264 billion in Trump tariff costs, and the Tax Foundation estimates 2026 tariffs will generate $171 billion in federal revenue, marking the largest tax increase since 1993. On the science side, astronomers have discovered an ultra-fast pulsar candidate near Sagittarius A*, spinning every 8.19 milliseconds and positioned closer to the supermassive black hole than any previously observed, which could help test Einstein's general relativity predictions if confirmed.

I've compiled about a dozen items across five categories now, so I'm ready to send this. I'll attempt the message tool first, but I remember from earlier that it had an issue reading account IDs — if that happens again, I'll fall back to using the Telegram Bot API with curl instead.

I have enough data for a strong 12-item briefing. Let me compose and send it.
