⭐️ This looks like a bike…
…but it’s actually a robot.

Built by the RAI Institute using reinforcement learning + NVIDIA Isaac Lab.

It rides and jumps
It balances and pulls off tricks & wheelies
It even does front flips

No remote control. No human programming the moves.
The real magic? It’s learning balance, control, and lightning-fast decisions in super unstable environments, skills that could one day power real-world robots in the wild.

Mind blown yet?

⭐️ Anthropic has developed a new AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, that is as skilled as professional humans at finding security bugs in software.

Here is what is happening with this project:

▶️ Finding Hidden Vulnerabilities: The AI can find bugs that have existed for decades, such as a 27-year-old flaw it discovered in the OpenBSD operating system.

▶️ Chaining Bugs: It is uniquely good at chaining together several small, harmless-looking issues to create a major security exploit.

▶️ Project Glasswing: Because this AI could be dangerous if misused by hackers, Anthropic is not releasing it to the public. Instead, they started Project Glasswing to give the tool only to major defenders like Google, Microsoft, and Cisco, so they can fix the world's most important code before it can be attacked.

▶️ Collective Defense: The goal is to use AI to give software developers a head start in protecting global infrastructure, financial transactions, and personal data.
