As unhealthy actors weaponize AI to use software program vulnerabilities at unprecedented velocity, firms are more and more recognizing the necessity to bolster their cybersecurity defenses. Fortuitously, these very AI instruments are additionally serving to companies battle again. The necessity for such capabilities has helped Exaforce, an AI startup that detects and thwarts assaults in…

Researchers at Tilde Research have released Aurora, a new optimizer for training neural networks that addresses a structural flaw in the widely-used Muon optimizer. The flaw quietly kills off a significant fraction of MLP neurons during training and keeps them permanently dead. Aurora comes with a 1.1B parameter pretraining experiment, a new state-of-the-art result on…

OpenAI on just launched Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative that combines the company’s frontier AI models with Codex Security, its coding-focused agentic system, and a broad network of security partners. The program is aimed at developers, enterprise security teams, researchers, and government-linked defenders who need to find, validate, and patch software vulnerabilities earlier in the development…
Considering Machines Lab, the AI startup based final 12 months by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, on Monday introduced one thing referred to as interaction models, which, at its essence, appears like AI that may interrupt you.
