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.

Nvidia bets billions on Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence to scale AI research

Nvidia has announced a long-term strategic partnership with Safe Superintelligence, the secretive AI lab founded by former OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever. The multi-billion-dollar investment will give SSI access to Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform, increasing its compute capacity tenfold. The deal comes after Nvidia gained rare access to SSI's closely guarded research, which the company says has reached milestones worthy of scaling.

Carnegie Mellon PhD Yang Zhilin builds Moonshot AI into $50bn powerhouse rivaling OpenAI

Yang Zhilin, a 34-year-old Carnegie Mellon PhD who turned down Silicon Valley offers, has built Moonshot AI into a $50 billion Chinese AI powerhouse. The company's Kimi K3 model rivals leading U.S. systems from OpenAI and Anthropic while operating at lower costs. After pivoting to open-source development and pure model training, Moonshot reached $300 million in annual recurring revenue and triggered a Wall Street sell-off comparable to DeepSeek's market impact.

New study reveals 3D genome disruption drives Alzheimer's disease in brain cells

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh discovered that the three-dimensional architecture of the genome is fundamentally altered in specific brain cells of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Using single-cell technology, spatial tissue mapping, and a novel AI model called Hicformer, the team linked genome folding to gene activity and brain tissue organization, establishing higher-order chromatin reorganization as a primary layer of Alzheimer's pathology.
