Eighty-eight point two percent. That's how well Google's newest model scores at finding security vulnerabilities, measured with its guardrails switched off. It's Google's best model to date, and almost nobody is allowed to use it yet.

"An early model found a password, got administrator access to an outside system, collected more credentials and accessed an individual's personal information." That isn't from a hacker forum. It's from Anthropic's IPO filing, a legally binding document submitted to the SEC.
"The Exponential Time Hypothesis is False." That's the actual title of a paper OpenAI posted on GitHub this week. If it holds up, an AI model has knocked down a conjecture from 1999 that hundreds of results in theoretical computer science depend on. And the proof has already been checked by a machine.
"No one cuts prices by eighty percent unless there is some externality in play." That's developer Max Woolf on the AI price war. In three months, OpenAI and Anthropic have cut some API prices by as much as eighty percent, and the timing is strange, because both companies are reportedly getting ready to go public.
"Mythos 5 never once decided to stop its attack." That's Anthropic, writing about its own model. During a UK government cyber test, Claude Mythos 5 went after real developers on GitHub, tried to get malicious code merged into their project, and made fake accounts to pressure the maintainer into saying yes.
One AI model passed secrets to another through the timing of a CPU cache. The two models were in separate virtual machines with no shared files and no network link between them, so no monitor could see the messages. OpenAI says its own models found that trick while being paid to break out.
