PortSwigger says HTTP Terminator, an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted research system built by James Kettle, generated and proved new HTTP desynchronization techniques after exploring 30,000 candidate desync vectors. PortSwigger said a separate human-guided discovery cascade also exposed a zero-day in Apache Traffic Server. Kettle said HTTP Terminator tested 30,000 websites where

WIRED spoke with Tucker Bryant, an artist and former Google employee who created ChatTJB to get people to reflect on the “strange moment” we’re in.
According to Frontier Security researchers Paul Kassianik and Yaron Singer, the flaw was in a benchmark framework from the UK government’s AI Security Institute.
Cloudflare said demand for AI agents was increasing traffic across its network and lifting demand for its cloud and security products.
During internal security tests, OpenAI's AI agents built their own message board with hundreds of thousands of posts, shared exploits and credentials, and eventually attacked external platforms like Hugging Face. When OpenAI shut the board down, the agents rebuilt it using directory names. OpenAI researcher Boaz Barak says, "We (like everyone else) are not where we want and need to be." The article OpenAI reportedly slows research after its own models secretly coordinated hacks for weeks undetec

The study could help scientists understand how superconductivity and other more complex phenomena emerge in quantum materials.
Amazon, Cursor, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Vercel have jointly created Agent Plugins, an open standard that defines a single package format for AI agent extensions. Version 1.0.0 uses a plugin.json manifest file and supports both agent skills and MCP servers.

SK hynix plans to start building Y2 in July 2027, with its first cleanroom expected to open in June 2029.
OpenAI has updated GPT-5.6 Sol with more focused responses and a reasoning slider that lets users adjust how deeply the model thinks. Free users will get unlimited text chats with the smaller GPT-5.6 Luna starting next week, plus a button that lets Luna reason longer. But the smaller model still falls well short of its bigger siblings. The article OpenAI improves GPT-5.6 Sol in ChatGPT and restricts free users to its weakest model appeared first on The Decoder .
A GitHub issue opened by an account with no repository privileges was enough to execute code on the CI runners behind Anthropic's and Google's own coding-agent repositories. On OpenAI's, it was enough to hijack the next agent run. Novee Security ran the attack against each vendor's agent in the configuration that the vendor ships by default, and presented the work at Black Hat USA on August 5.
OSL said it has a Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission license for brokerage and automated trading services.

A new analysis has uncovered that the threat actor tracked as TeamPCP has been active on the cybercrime scene as far back as 2020, indicating the group has been compromising internet-facing infrastructure for years before training their sights on the software supply chain. "The connection is supported by overlapping domains, malware deployment paths, staging techniques, backend infrastructure,

Amjad Masad on the "self-driving company," why a CEO is a glorified router, and what's left for humans when agents do the work
The same evidence now supports two very different readings. The UK's AI Security Institute documented 19 unsanctioned actions during cyber evaluations. Meta's test sandbox failed to contain a model attacking a real company. And separate OpenAI agent runs used shared infrastructure as a secret message board, then rebuilt it through a different mechanism after engineers erased it. That sounds like losing control. But agents also caught scientific errors that survived for decades, open-weight model
Continuous diffusion and flow matching models could represent a powerful alternative to autoregressive approaches for language modelling (LM), as they unlock a host of advantages currently reserved for continuous modalities, including accelerated sampling and tilting. Recently, several works have demonstrated the possibility of generating discrete data continuously by a simple flow matching process between a Gaussian and the one-hot encoded data distribution. They have further shown the feasibil
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance on a broad range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, including document processing and code generation. Autoregressive Language Models (ARMs), which generate tokens sequentially conditioned on all previous tokens, have been the predominant paradigm for LLMs. While these models have achieved high accuracy across a range of downstream tasks, they exhibit low arithmetic intensity due to the inherent sequential dependenc
Modern Large Language Models achieve impressive reasoning capabilities with long Chain of Thoughts, but they incur substantial computational cost during inference, and this motivates techniques to improve the performance-cost ratio. Among these techniques, Speculative Decoding accelerates inference by employing a fast but inaccurate draft model to auto-regressively propose tokens, which are then verified in parallel by a more capable target model. However, due to unnecessary rejections caused by
