Anthropic shared the first results from Project Glasswing, revealing that Claude Mythos Preview and its ~50 partners have found 10,000+ high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities in just one month. Cloudflare alone found 2K bugs with a false positive rate better than human testers. Mozilla found and fixed 271 vulnerabilities in Firefox 150.
Got questions about hiring globally?
The best person for your next role might not live near your office — or even in the same country.
And more companies are realizing they don’t need to open entities everywhere just to hire great talent globally.
Instead, teams are using EOR to hire internationally faster, stay compliant, and avoid the operational headache of setting up local infrastructure before they’re ready.
That shift is changing how companies think about growth, hiring, and expansion altogether.
Oyster’s EOR helps companies hire, pay, and support employees in 180+ countries while Oyster handles payroll, compliance, taxes, and local employment requirements.
Content delivery infrastructure is evolving rapidly as modern applications become increasingly distributed, latency-sensitive, and operationally complex. What was once primarily a performance layer for static web assets has now become a foundational part of cloud-native infrastructure, edge computing strategy, API delivery, streaming operations, and AI-driven application performance.
The 2025 paper by Robinett et al., ‘Atlas-based Manifold Representations for Interpretable Riemannian Machine Learning’, provides an algorithm for fitting a low dimensional manifold from a point cloud by means of a novel algorithm for approximating an atlas of charts.
You’ll learn how to build an AI harness that helps agents like Claude navigate massive codebases with ease. Also, you’ll get hands-on experience by creating a custom AI layer using global rules, skills, self-improving hooks, and sub-agents to level up your AI-assisted development workflow.
Andrej Karpathy (ex-Tesla AI, OpenAI co-founder) called out AI coding agents for guessing instead of asking, overcomplicating everything, and touching code they were never supposed to touch. Developer Forrest Chang turned those complaints into four rules inside a single CLAUDE.md file, pushing AI coding accuracy from 65% to 94%.
$20.8B in Redemption Requests. Percent Was Issuing Deals and Paying on Schedule.
Those requests came from non-traded BDC investors in Q1 2026, and most got back roughly half of what they asked for. Moody's U.S. BDC sector outlook: Negative.
On Percent's marketplace that same quarter: new issuances, scheduled payments, 0.44% lifetime net loss rate on asset-based deals since inception.† The difference is structural: concentrated corporate loans with redemption windows that close at manager discretion vs. asset-based finance with 6–24 month deal terms. 14.6% net ABS returns LTM after losses (3/31/26).† Starting at $500.
Alternative investments are speculative. No assurance can be given that investors will receive a return of their capital. †Past performance is not indicative of future results. Terms apply.

Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus, an AI system that generates machine-verified mathematical proofs, solved nine open Erdős problems, including two unsolved for 56 years, just a day after OpenAI claimed its own Erdős breakthrough. The system paired an LLM with Lean, a proof assistant, to generate machine-verified proofs for the nine problems spanning combinatorics and graph theory.
The South Korean case shows how fake AI audio can quietly end a real career. Police say a YouTuber forged an AI voice clip and doctored texts to defame actor Kim Soo-hyun. Authorities are pursuing him for criminal defamation and financial motive. Kim Soo-hyun is still in psychiatric treatment and his projects remain shelved.
SpaceX launched an upgraded version of its Starship rocket from a new launchpad at its Starbase facility on Friday. The booster successfully separated from the spacecraft, but it wasn't able to conduct an engine maneuver and eventually crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. Starship lost one of its engines but was able to make it to space. It deployed devices that mimic satellites, as well as two satellites that took images of the flying spacecraft
DeepSeek permanently cut V4-Pro pricing by 75%, bringing it down to $0.435 per million input tokens and $0.87 per million output tokens, far below closed-source rivals. Tokens now run $0.0035 to $0.83 per million, far below any US frontier model. V4-Pro had been priced 12 times its lighter sibling on "compute capacity constraints
What built your business won’t scale it.
The habits, responsibilities, and daily involvement that once drove growth can quickly become the very things that slow it down.
The real shift is letting go of the work you’ve outgrown.
The free resource From Operator to Owner: How to Exit the Middle helps leaders identify what to delegate, what to retain, and how to move forward with clarity.
BELAY supports that transition by matching you with U.S.-based Executive Assistants who bring the judgment and reliability needed to take work off your plate, without adding full-time overhead.
