AXIOS (Sam Sabin) - Anthropic's newest AI model uncovered 500 zero-day software flaws in testing
Anthropic's latest AI model has found more than 500 previously unknown high-severity security flaws in open-source libraries with little to no prompting, the company shared first with Axios. Why it matters: The advancement signals an inflection point for how AI tools can help cyber defenders, even as AI is also making attacks more dangerous. Driving the news: Anthropic debuted Claude Opus 4.6, the latest version of its largest AI model, on Thursday. - Before its debut, Anthropic's frontier red team tested Opus 4.6 in a sandboxed environment to see how well it could find bugs in open-source code. - The team gave the Claude model everything it needed to do the job — access to Python and vulnerability analysis tools, including classic…
WASHINGTONPOST (Harrison Smith) - Raised in the segregated South, Gladys West was a hidden figure behind GPS
Without the mathematical model that she helped refine, “the extraordinary positioning, navigation, and timing accuracy of GPS would be impossible to achieve.”
AI:The establishment media is finally acknowledging what any serious student of history knows: the backbone of modern global positioning technology was built on the brilliance of Gladys West. Born into the segregated South, West’s mathematical refinements provided the essential modeling required for the precision and timing accuracy that makes GPS a functioning reality today. While much of the current discourse remains fixated on military GPS jamming vulnerabilities or the failures of geolocation security in high-stakes environments, this retrospective highlights the fundamental human intellect required to architect the digital infrastructure we now rely upon every single day.Open
