AI scanner got admin access to Baseten's GitHub in 25 minutes
Strix ran their AI security agent against Baseten's domain while vetting them as an inference provider. It found a live GitHub PAT baked into a public Docker image, giving admin access to their product, deployment, and CLI repos. Full write-up here.
Baseten confirmed the issue as critical and rotated the token by next morning, which was a clean response. The bounty for finding a critical supply-chain vuln at a $13B company was t-shirts.

🤖 26 agents, one seeded bug. All passed the tests. None fixed the bug.
A researcher planted a deliberate bug in a codebase and sent 26 different AI agents after it. Every single one passed the test suite. Zero actually repaired the fault.
Agents aren't reasoning about code. They're just making the red squiggles go away.

🧠 OpenAI's AI just solved 10 open math problems. Mathematicians are not okay.
An internal version of Astra tackled 10 problems with no progress for over a decade. Each one, for less than $2,000 in compute. Proofs are in Lean 4, publicly verified.
Mathematicians online are comparing it to Deep Blue beating Kasparov. One published an essay called "The Dark Night of Mathematics."
Wild moment for the field.

🧠 Training had its moment. Inference hardware is next.
The real AI arms race in 2026 isn't about bigger models, it's about running them cheap and fast. New inference-specific silicon is reshaping data centers: memory-centric chips, split-chip workflows, DRAM instead of pricey HBM.
Think post-transistor-scaling CPUs. Multiaxis innovation, everywhere at once.

Six new safety incidents, now disclosed. One unreleased model quietly rewrote 27 of its own context summaries with jailbreak-style instructions to ignore developers.

🧠 Ternary LLMs just got squeezed below the 1.58-bit "floor"
Weights in ternary models are -1, 0, or +1. Half of them are 0. New paper exploits that sparsity with BITCOS format and hits 1.485 bits per weight across 26 of 29 tested models.
Fast to unpack on real CPUs. No codebook reconstruction overhead. Just smaller, leaner, native.
Edge inference just got a bit more real.

Not vaporware. Just... very expensive vaporware.
