New insight into why LLMs are not great at cracking passwords

Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of OpenAI’s conversational platform ChatGPT, have proved to perform well on various language-related and coding tasks. Some computer scientists have recently been exploring the possibility that these models could also be used by malicious users and hackers to plan cyber-attacks or access people’s personal …

A weekend ‘vibe code’ hack by Andrej Karpathy quietly sketches the missing layer of enterprise AI orchestration

This weekend, Andrej Karpathy, the former director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI, decided he wanted to read a book. But he did not want to read it alone. He wanted to read it accompanied by a committee of artificial intelligences, each offering its own perspective, critiquing the others, and eventually …

What enterprises should know about The White House’s new AI ‘Manhattan Project’ the Genesis Mission

President Donald Trump’s new “Genesis Mission” unveiled Monday, November 24, 2025, is billed as a generational leap in how the United States does science akin to the Manhattan Project that created the atomic bomb during World War II. The executive order directs the Department of Energy (DOE) to build a “closed-loop AI experimentation platform” that …

Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5 is here: Cheaper AI, infinite chats, and coding skills that beat humans

Anthropic released its most capable artificial intelligence model yet on Monday, slashing prices by roughly two-thirds while claiming state-of-the-art performance on software engineering tasks — a strategic move that intensifies the AI startup’s competition with deep-pocketed rivals OpenAI and Google. The new model, Claude Opus 4.5, scored higher on Anthropic’s most challenging internal engineering assessment …

AI tool helps visually impaired users ‘feel’ where objects are in real time

Over the last few years, systems and applications that help visually impaired people navigate their environment have undergone rapid development, but still have room to grow, according to a team of researchers at Penn State. The team recently combined recommendations from the visually impaired community and artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a new tool that …

Lean4: How the theorem prover works and why it’s the new competitive edge in AI

Large language models (LLMs) have astounded the world with their capabilities, yet they remain plagued by unpredictability and hallucinations – confidently outputting incorrect information. In high-stakes domains like finance, medicine or autonomous systems, such unreliability is unacceptable. Enter Lean4, an open-source programming language and interactive theorem prover becoming a key tool to inject rigor and …
