The shift of the AI frontier toward more powerful, lower-cost models could pave the way for safely slowing development, experts say. Why it matters: Top U.S. startups including OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as other AI players, have to develop a financially viable path to allow them to slow development. Otherwise financial incentives will be too powerful . Driving the news: The health of the entire U.S. economy now rests in part on the AI boom. Yet the companies at the center of the race are burning far more cash than they take in, and will be for the foreseeable future. - Their top executives have also shown unusual solidarity in expressing a desire to slow the pace of model development due to a troubling series of incidents in which…

A notorious cybercrime group is claiming they stole more than 2 terabytes of data that includes detailed personal information about thousands of FBI employees and job applicants. Why it matters: Cybercriminals and state-sponsored attackers have penetrated U.S. IT systems for years, but stealing detailed and sensitive information about FBI employees is brazen, cyber experts told Axios. - Cybercriminals are known to trade leaked information on the dark web, a prospect that would leave the data up for grabs from the highest bidder. Driving the news: ShinyHunters, a group that's broken into numerous institutions, said in a post on its dark-web site Tuesday that it stole "very sensitive data on almost ALL FBI agents and individuals who filed…

AI companies have competed on having the best and often most dangerous models for years. Now, they're pivoting to a new focus: cost. Why it matters: The biggest risk to the AI boom is demand, and recent innovations to make models cheaper while maintaining powerful levels of intelligence have offered a bullish signal. - As the prices of top models from OpenAI, Anthropic and others come down, usage is increasing dramatically, a trend that points to the kind of demand that will be necessary to justify trillions of dollars in spending. State of play: It's modelpalooza in the AI world this week, with OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and some Chinese model providers all offering new releases. Most of them are offering shocking levels of intelligence…

The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program. The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said. It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of…
"Like a thug, you're using your agency to go after reporters in a chill to one of the most sacrosanct ideals of the United States of America." Senator Cory Booker D-N.J. rips FBI Director Kash Patel for allegedly using the agency's resources to target journalists.
