On July 21, OpenAI confirmed that its own AI models were responsible for an attack on Hugging Face’s infrastructure. The incident occurred during an internal test. We’re partnering with @huggingface to investigate an unprecedented security incident. Cyber-capable OpenAI models compromised Hugging Face production during a benchmark evaluation. Sharing preliminary findings to help defenders understand emerging […]
Galaxy has launched a program to prepare Bitcoin for potential threats from quantum computers. It will award up to $5 million in grants to developers and researchers. Today we’re launching the Galaxy Bitcoin Quantum Readiness Initiative. No quantum computer today can break Bitcoin’s security. But that could change faster than expected, and Bitcoin is slow […]
The open-source intelligence platform Osiris has been added to GitHub. Developed by a user known as simplifaisoul, Osiris functions as a real-time operational dashboard, or War Room. The system aggregates large volumes of open geospatial data and visualizes them on a single interactive map. The main difference between this project and corporate products like Palantir […]

Researchers from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Nvidia, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and NASA have proposed a model to evaluate the interaction between quantum processors and classical supercomputers. The model helps determine when quantum equipment should be placed near high-performance computing infrastructure and when remote access via the cloud is sufficient. Requirements Depend on Task Type […]
