Zhipu AI's open-weight GLM 5.2 model achieved a 39% F1 score in Semgrep's IDOR detection benchmark, outperforming Claude Code's 32% and Claude Opus 4.8. The MIT-licensed model runs locally, enabling secure code analysis …
AI researcher Erik Johannes Husom finds AI agents essential for his work studying them but useless in his personal life due to digital minimalism and a lack of bureaucratic challenges. He notes the technology's rapid dev…
China, India, and Hong Kong are the only major stock markets where top companies' share of market capitalization has declined over the past year, reflecting their lag in the global AI race. In China and India, the ten la…
AgentGuard, an open-source static analysis tool for AI agent vulnerabilities, uses regex-based rules to detect prompt injection and other flaws in source code. Its creator, Dockfix Labs, is developing AST-based semantic …
Researchers introduced Proxy-KD, a method for distilling knowledge from black-box large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 into smaller models without accessing internal states. Proxy-KD uses a proxy model to facilitate k…
A GMAC survey of 621 recruiters across 39 countries finds that while degrees remain valued, AI skills, adaptability, and communication are increasingly important for career advancement. MBA starting salaries dipped to $1…
Six prominent AI researchers have left Google DeepMind since early 2026 for Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta, wiping roughly $270 billion from Alphabet's market cap. The exodus follows a strategic pivot prioritizing coding ta…
MeghRoop Tech Blog reports that after building over 50 AI systems, the team has identified prompt injection as a critical vulnerability in LLMs. Prompt injection exploits the inability of LLMs to distinguish between inst…
Sean Xuefeng Du will present a new hallucination-detection method, Answer-agreement Representation Shaping (ARS), at ICML 2026 in Seoul on July 9. The work, developed at Nanyang Technological University, aims to detect w…
Chinese AI lab Zhipu AI released the open-weight model GLM-5.2, which security researchers say matches Anthropic's Mythos on certain cybersecurity bug-finding tasks, lowering barriers for defensive and offensive use. The…
RBC BlueBay Asset Management expects Japanese AI stocks to correct over the next two months due to peak US hyperscaler spending and seasonal rebalancing, but predicts a rally into 2027. Portfolio manager Maya Funaki is t…
China's Zhipu AI released its open-weight GLM-5.2 model, which researchers claim matches Anthropic's Mythos in certain cybersecurity bug-finding scenarios, narrowing the gap between Chinese and US AI capabilities. The US…
Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer says she is '99 per cent sure' the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie, will be solved by August 1. The 84-year-old vanished from her Tucson, Ariz…
Developer Vincenzo released NanoEuler, a from-scratch GPT-2-scale language model training stack written in C and CUDA without PyTorch or autograd, on June 28, 2026. The 116-million-parameter project implements forward an…
Chinese AI systems have matched the performance of Anthropic's Mythos model in cybersecurity scenarios, with Zhipu AI's open-weight GLM-5.2 model surpassing Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 in some bug-finding benchmarks. The…
Abram Demski reports using Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 to conduct 'vibe research' on logical induction as a model for AI trustworthiness and recursive self-improvement, collaborating with Anson Berns to formalize results…
A new benchmark test of Ornith 1.0, a model that builds its own task scaffolds, found that providing a full shell and Python environment doubled its bug-finding performance without increasing false positives. The expande…
OpenAI launched GPT-5.6 as three tiered models—Sol, Terra, and Luna—each priced for different workloads, but benchmark comparisons show Sol leads on OpenAI's chosen metric while a competitor still leads on others, making…
Midjourney, the AI image generator behind a 2024 scientific retraction for AI-generated diagrams, announced a $74 million investment in Butterfly Network to develop a full-body ultrasonic scanner that submerges patients …
A blog post proposes using reinforcement learning on a timestamped internet cache to train a superhuman forecaster, aiming to solve the data-leakage problem in AI forecasting benchmarks. The proposal is speculative and l…
