OpenAI rolled out a cybersecurity model that rivals the capabilities of Mythos — without nearly as much fanfare or political pushback as Anthropic received. Why it matters: The seemingly straightforward model release raises questions about what actually triggered the Trump administration's concerns about Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Catch up quick: OpenAI debuted an update to GPT-5.5-Cyber on Monday as part of a slew of announcements aimed at deepening its work with cybersecurity companies and researchers. Yes, but: The new GPT-5.5-Cyber achieved an 85.6% score in CyberGym, an internal benchmark that measures whether an AI agent can reproduce known software vulnerabilities. - In comparison, Mythos 5 scored 83.8% on the same…

A supercomputer in Shenzhen was declared the world’s fastest. It uses only standard microprocessors and not the special-purpose chips called graphics processing units.
Google DeepMind lost two high-profile researchers in a week marked by a flurry of departures across major AI labs. Why it matters: The talent wars continue and have intensified at the highest levels as many AI developers believe that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is on the horizon. Driving the news: Noam Shazeer announced last week that he was leaving Google DeepMind for OpenAI. Google previously paid more than $2 billion to acqui-hire Shazeer and part of his Character.ai team. - Shazeer co-authored the pivotal 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need," which introduced the Transformer architecture — the "T" in ChatGPT. - Two days later, John Jumper, who shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for AlphaFold, said he was also…

A top Nvidia executive says water concerns surrounding data centers could be largely addressed by the company's next generation of AI infrastructure. Why it matters: It's a bold claim with high stakes by the world's dominant chip maker . Data centers are facing growing scrutiny for their use of energy and water, and Nvidia's chips are helping drive the AI boom behind much of that demand. Driving the news: Nvidia announced Monday at London Climate Week that its latest AI system can be fully cooled with liquid warm enough to reduce the need for additional chilling equipment. - "The water consumption challenge for data centers is largely solved," said Josh Parker, Nvidia's chief sustainability officer, in an interview last week ahead of his…

Under the new orders, the nation’s six regional market operators have 60 days to comply with a requirement that they must either legally justify their existing grid connection rules or file sweeping tariff overhauls directed specifically at large energy users.
A massive data center in Sterling, Virginia, uses its own power generators to keep systems running. While that may be good for the local power grid, it’s also causing an onslaught of noise that has upset neighboring residents, NewsNation’s Brian Entin reports. #DataCenters #Virginia #Tech "The Hill on NewsNation" combines the power of two trusted news sources to define today's most-pressing issues, and question Washington's power brokers on what matters most to the people they serve and what matters most to Americans.
