CALTECH RESEARCHERS CLAIM RADICAL COMPRESSION OF HIGH-FIDELITY AI MODELS

PrismML has developed an extreme form of compression that allows AI to run locally on edge devices. Its 1-bit technology model has a radically compressed size without compromised performance. The same efficiency gains that enable local deployment will also allow data centers to operate more efficiently. The mathematics for the process are proprietary, with Caltech owning the intellectual property and PrismML being the sole exclusive licensee.

ENTIRE CLAUDE CODE CLI SOURCE CODE LEAKS THANKS TO EXPOSED MAP FILE

Anthropic recently published a version of the Claude Code npm package that included a source map file that could be used to access the entirety of Claude Code's source code. More than 512,000 lines of code were leaked on a public GitHub repository, which has since been forked tens of thousands of times. Developers are already analyzing the code to find out how Claude Code works. Anthropic has publicly acknowledged the mistake.

APPLE TESTS SIRI FEATURE THAT HANDLES MULTIPLE COMMANDS AT ONCE

Apple is testing a feature in Siri that will let it process multiple requests in a single query. Siri currently requires users to make requests individually. The new feature will allow users to combine requests, for example, ask Siri to check the weather, create a calendar appointment, and send a message, all within a single prompt. The new Siri is expected to be released at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 8.

MICROBUBBLES

Microbubbles are tiny gas-filled bubbles with a protective outer shell that are capable of carrying drugs or genetic material to cells in the body. They are too large to leave the bloodstream, so they deliver drugs by bursting on command, briefly forcing open biological barriers to allow treatments to pass through. The force of their bursts can be used to break apart kidney stones. These bubbles can be steered, so they can carry therapies through the bloodstream to release precisely where they're needed.

QUANTUM COMPUTERS NEED VASTLY FEWER RESOURCES THAN THOUGHT TO BREAK VITAL ENCRYPTION

Two independently written whitepapers have come to the same conclusion that building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack elliptic curves requires far fewer resources than anticipated. The papers are the latest sign that cryptographically relevant quantum computing at utility-scale is making meaningful progress. The advances are being driven by new quantum architectures that operate correctly even in the presence of errors, and ever more efficient algorithms. Neither of the papers has yet been peer reviewed.
