A 60MB source map file left in the npm package exposed 512,000 lines of TypeScript, 40 tools, and an internal 'Undercover Mode' designed to stop leaks. It shipped anyway.

Anthropic accidentally exposed a draft blog post revealing Claude Mythos, a new model tier above Opus with claimed leaps in coding, reasoning, and cybersecurity. The leak arrived during Claude's strongest consumer quarter ever.

An international team used IBM quantum processors to synthesize and characterize C₁₃Cl₂, a molecule with half-Möbius topology never before observed or predicted, then proved only quantum simulation could explain its behavior.

Anthropic is privately warning government officials that Claude Mythos makes large-scale cyberattacks much more likely, while planning to release it to enterprise security teams. The regulatory framework to handle that contradiction does not exist.

IAB Tech Lab's Agentic Advertising Management Protocols define how AI agents communicate in programmatic workflows. Here is what the spec actually covers, what is production-ready, and whether your team should integrate now.

The IAB NewFronts completed their transformation from digital video showcase to tech-and-data bazaar. Performance TV, creator matchmaking, and pause ads dominated. Here is who actually benefits.

Starcloud just raised $170M at a $1.1B valuation for orbital AI data centers. The real story is not satellites. It is the terrestrial energy crisis forcing AI infrastructure to look beyond Earth.

University of Pittsburgh physicists replicated four landmark topological quantum computing experiments and found simpler explanations for all of them, raising hard questions about the foundation of a technology Microsoft and others are betting billions on.

Meta is reportedly doubling AI smart glasses production capacity while cutting VR studios and freezing Horizon Worlds development. The dollars are moving from headsets to wearables, and developers need to read the room.

AAMP gave agentic ad buying a spec. Early tests show real results. But nobody has answered the governance questions: accountability, audit trails, role changes, and spend authority. Here is the organizational playbook your team needs before an agent touches a real budget.

IAB Tech Lab published AAMP, a real specification for AI agents that plan, buy, and optimize ad campaigns. Kochava shipped a runtime. Here is what your ad ops team actually needs to prepare, with realistic timelines and a month-one checklist.

Copy-pasteable commands for every step: checking your Langflow and LiteLLM versions, scanning with pip-audit, generating SBOMs with cyclonedx-bom, and pinning GitHub Actions to commit SHAs.

CISA flagged active exploitation of a critical Langflow RCE flaw within 20 hours of disclosure. Meanwhile, TeamPCP compromised telnyx, litellm, Trivy, and KICS in a coordinated supply chain campaign targeting AI dev tooling.

Mistral AI secured $830 million in debt financing to build its first data center near Paris with 13,800 Nvidia GB300 chips. It is the biggest independent AI compute play in Europe, and a direct bet on sovereign infrastructure over renting from US cloud providers.

Snap, Meta, Google, Samsung, and Apple are all converging on AR glasses in 2026. The most alignment immersive tech has ever had happened fast, and the race to ship a pair people actually wear is on.

Cambridge researchers built hafnium oxide memristors with switching currents a million times lower than conventional devices, a material breakthrough that could cut AI hardware energy use by 70%.

Apple will let third-party AI chatbots plug into Siri through a new Extensions system in iOS 27, with a dedicated App Store section. It looks like user choice. It reads more like a distribution play with regulatory insurance.

IAB Tech Lab launched AAMP, its umbrella standard for agentic advertising, and Kochava shipped the first open-source runtime inside StationOne. Here's what 19 skills across 8 workflow areas actually do for buyers.

Iran's MOIS-backed Handala hackers breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal Gmail account, publishing 300+ emails and personal photos. TechCrunch verified the emails via DKIM signatures. Suspected vector: password reuse from a prior data leak.
