Small models also found the vulnerabilities that Mythos found

Why the moat is the system, not the model TL;DR: We tested Anthropic Mythos's showcase vulnerabilities on small, cheap, open-weights models. They recovered much of the same analysis. AI cybersecurity capability is very jagged : it doesn't scale smoothly with model size, and the moat is the system into which deep security expertise is built, not the model itself. Mythos validates the approach but it does not settle it yet. On April 7, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview and Project Glasswing , a consortium of technology companies formed to use their new, limited-access AI model called Mythos , to find and patch security vulnerabilities in critical software. Anthropic committed up to 100M USD in usage credits and 4M USD in direct donations to open source security organizations. The accompanying technical blog post from Anthropic's red team refers to Mythos autonomously finding thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser, with details including a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD and a 16-year-old bug in FFmpeg. Beyond discovery, the post detailed exploit construction of high sophistication: multi-vulnerability privilege escalation chains in the Linux kernel, JIT heap sprays escaping browser sandboxes, and a remote code execution exploit against FreeBSD that Mythos wrote autonomously.

How We Broke Top AI Agent Benchmarks: And What Comes Next

Our agent hacked every major one. Here’s how — and what the field needs to fix. Every week, a new AI model climbs to the top of a benchmark leaderboard. Companies cite these numbers in press releases. Investors use them to justify valuations. Engineers use them to pick which model to deploy. The implicit promise is simple: a higher score means a more capable system. We built an automated scanning agent that systematically audited eight among the most prominent AI agent benchmarks — SWE-bench, WebArena, OSWorld, GAIA, Terminal-Bench, FieldWorkArena, and CAR-bench — and discovered that every single one can be exploited to achieve near-perfect scores without solving a single task. No reasoning. No capability. Just exploitation of how the score is computed.

The End of Eleventy

Build Awesome is a rebrand of 11ty/Eleventy, backed by a successful $40k Kickstarter. But this attempt to monetize static site generators repeats the same mistakes that killed Gatsby and Stackbit—and misunderstands who actually builds static sites. UPDATE: The Kickstarter has been cancelled and rescheduled for a few months from now due to emails not being sent, ruining the project's "momentum" despite reaching their goal in a single day. Yesterday, the Font Awesome team launched a Kickstarter for a new project called Build Awesome and Build Awesome Pro, looking to raise $40,000 USD. And it has already reached that funding goal. What is Build Awesome? Simply put, it's a rebrand of 11ty/Eleventy. Or rather, it is the end of Eleventy .

US appeals court declares 158-year-old home distilling ban unconstitutional

Judge said ban, which originated in Reconstruction era to thwart liquor tax evasion, actually reduced tax revenue Judge said ban, which originated in Reconstruction era to thwart liquor tax evasion, actually reduced tax revenue A US appeals court on Friday declared a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling to be unconstitutional, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax. The fifth US circuit court of appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the non-profit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members.

Tofolli gates are all you need

Any Boolean function can be computed with Tofolli gates, and Tofolli gates are reversible, and so any Boolean function can be computed reversibly. Landauer’s principle gives a lower bound on the amount of energy it takes to erase one bit of information: where k B is the Boltzmann constant and T is the ambient temperature in Kelvin. The lower bound applies no matter how the bit is physically stored. There is no theoretical lower limit on the energy required to carry out a reversible calculation. In practice the energy required to erase a bit is around a billion times greater than Landauer’s lower bound. You might reasonably conclude that reversible computing isn’t practical since we’re nowhere near the Landauer limit. And yet in practice reversible circuits have been demonstrated to use less energy than conventional circuits. We’re far from the ultimate physical limit, but reversibility still provides practical efficiency gains today.
