The US Department of Defense has tapped Argonne spin-out Parallel Works to link its supercomputing centres to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle through one secure platform – speeding up the AI and simulation workloads now reshaping defence research.
Researchers warn that AI capabilities are increasingly discovered rather than designed, and that the window to understand how these black-box systems reason is closing as their influence grows.
Cisco has launched Cloud Control, a toolset that lets companies build their own armies of defender AI agents, a response to a world where cyberattacks increasingly come from swarms of hostile agents.
Chinese researchers say a nine-qubit quantum system beat a 10,000-node classical network at weather prediction for under 1% of the cost, a hint that compact quantum machines could undercut today’s giant AI data centres.
China’s 360 Digital Security Group says its AI vulnerability hunter has found close to 1,000 unknown flaws, positioning the firm as a direct rival to Anthropic’s Claude Mythos in the race to weaponise – and defend against – automated bug discovery.
Anthropic’s restricted Claude Mythos Preview model has flagged thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities — including some in every major operating system and web browser — and built working exploits autonomously, as part of a cyber-defence partnership with Nvidia, Google, Apple, Microsoft and 40 others.
