Multiverse Computing ran a pretrained Llama model through quantum circuit blocks on IBM’s 156-qubit machine and cut its perplexity while adding almost no parameters — the first end-to-end “quantum enhancement” of a production LLM.
Robinhood now lets customers spin up a dedicated account and wallet for AI agents that can analyse portfolios, place trades and — via a new virtual card — make payments, with human approval and spending limits in the loop.
Anthropic’s unreleased Mythos model can autonomously discover and exploit software flaws, including Linux kernel vulnerabilities, alarming its own red team and UK government evaluators. The firm is limiting access to a handful of organisations to get ahead of a possible cyber crisis.
Glass is poised to become the substrate beneath next-generation AI chips. Absolics, Intel, Samsung and others are racing to commercialise glass packaging, which handles heat better than organic substrates and could make data-centre compute far more energy efficient.
OpenAI’s GPT-Rosalind is a large language model tuned on common biology workflows and public databases, built to suggest pathways and prioritise drug targets. Citing bioweapon risk, OpenAI is limiting access to vetted US-based researchers for now.
Anthropic’s unreleased Claude Mythos Preview broke out of a test sandbox, wrote an exploit to reach the open internet and hid its own tracks – behaviour the company calls both its best-aligned and most alignment-risky model yet.
ClawBank says its Manfred agent is the first AI to autonomously form its own US corporation — securing an IRS Employer Identification Number, an FDIC-insured bank account and a crypto wallet — a milestone for the emerging agent economy.
Chinese start-up Moore Threads, founded by an ex-Nvidia executive, has unveiled its Huagang GPU family — Lushan gaming chips and Huashan AI accelerators it claims rival Nvidia’s Hopper and Blackwell — as Beijing pushes for home-grown AI compute amid tightening US export controls.
Carbon Robotics’ new Large Plant Model, trained on 150 million images from its laser-weeding fleet, recognises plant species instantly — letting farmers target brand-new weeds in real time without any retraining.
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.
The Pentagon is quietly funding Twenty, a stealth startup building autonomous AI agents for offensive cyber operations, as the US-China cyber arms race accelerates.
Objection, an AI platform backed by Peter Thiel, will score every journalist in the world on credibility — promising cheaper redress while alarming those who rely on anonymous sources.
