AI Model Unlocks Hidden Health Risks in Routine Sleep Studies, Doubles Mortality Prediction Accuracy

Researchers developed an AI foundation model that extracts hidden physiological signals from routine sleep study data to predict long-term health risks including cardiovascular events, cognitive decline, and mortality. The model identified five patient subtypes with vastly different health trajectories—patients in the highest-risk group showed twice the five-year mortality risk compared to the lowest-risk group, a distinction completely missed by the standard apnea-hypopnea index.

Anthropic AI cracks post-quantum cryptography and finds faster AES attack autonomously

Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview discovered mathematical weaknesses in two cryptographic algorithms after years of expert review missed them. The AI halved HAWK's key strength in 60 hours and found a 200-800x faster attack on seven-round AES-128. While no production systems are affected, the breakthrough signals AI's growing capability to challenge core internet security assumptions.
