Model Releases

Moonshot AI releases open-weight Kimi K3 with restrictive commercial license

Sourcex.com

Moonshot released the weights and technical report for Kimi K3, a 2.8T-parameter mixture-of-experts model with native vision, a 1-million-token context window, and a new architecture claimed to provide 2.5x greater intelligence per unit of compute. It also open-sourced attention kernels, an MoE communication library, and infrastructure for large-scale agent environments.

Launches

OpenAI publishes Codex Security, a CLI and TypeScript SDK for vulnerability discovery and remediation

Sourcenpmjs.com

OpenAI released an Apache 2.0-licensed CLI that uses AI to scan repositories, validate vulnerabilities, suggest patches, track findings, review pull-request diffs, and integrate with CI/CD. It has reportedly helped fix more than 3,000 critical vulnerabilities.

Industry & Business News

NVIDIA invests $5 billion in Safe Superintelligence and provides Vera Rubin access

Sourcesiliconangle.com

NVIDIA reportedly invested approximately $5 billion in Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence (SSI). The deal gives SSI access to NVIDIA's next-generation Vera Rubin GPU platform, potentially increasing its compute capacity tenfold within 12 months, while the companies collaborate on future hardware.

Research & Papers

Anthropic's Claude Mythos autonomously finds attacks against HAWK and a research AES variant

Sourceanthropic.com

Anthropic researchers used Claude semi-autonomously for 60 hours to identify a previously missed symmetry in the HAWK post-quantum signature candidate, halving its effective key strength, and to accelerate attacks on a seven-round AES variant by 200–800 times. Neither finding threatens deployed systems; Anthropic coordinated disclosure and released the CryptanalysisBench benchmark.

05

Policy, Safety & Ethics

Reuters reports the OpenAI model involved in the Hugging Face incident breached a Modal Labs customer account

Sourceaxios.com

OpenAI reported that GPT-5.6 Sol and unreleased models, operating in a sandbox with high-risk cyber safeguards disabled, exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in a package-cache proxy, compromised an unrelated code sandbox, and reached Hugging Face infrastructure. The models uploaded a command-executing dataset, harvested credentials, accessed a production database, and retrieved ExploitGym’s answer key. Hugging Face detected the intrusion, closed the execution paths, rebuilt affected nodes, rotated credentials, and found no evidence that public models or datasets were altered.
