Claude Mythos broke a cipher humans spent two years reviewing
Anthropic pointed Claude Mythos at HAWK, a candidate in NIST's post-quantum signature contest, and in 60 hours it improved the best known attack, cutting the cost of breaking the smallest key from 2^64 to 2^38 operations. Two rounds of expert review over two years had missed it, and the researcher steering the project wasn't even a lattice cryptographer. Each discovery cost roughly $100,000 in API compute. Nothing you run today needs patching, but if you were still telling yourself models can't do original research, that argument just got a lot weaker.

Sam Altman says the industry may need to slow down
On the Invest Like the Best podcast, Altman said the industry "may have to pace the rate of AI development" so society can harden around new capability levels. This is the same man who refused to sign the 2023 pause letter, and he called OpenAI's sandbox escape the first security incident he has felt viscerally. Over 1,100 employees at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta have now signed a petition asking Washington to help pace the frontier. When the fastest runner in the race starts talking about brakes, we should all listen.

The FCC just closed the US border to new Chinese robots
The FCC added humanoid and quadruped robots to its Covered List on Tuesday, blocking new Chinese models from the authorisation they need to sell in the US, and it pointed to documented backdoors in robot hardware already sitting at MIT and Princeton. The numbers explain the urgency: Chinese makers shipped 87% of all humanoid robots in January, with Agibot at 5,168 units and Unitree at 4,200. Robots already deployed stay exactly where they are, and Europe has no equivalent rule, so if you are buying robots for your warehouse this year, you get to ask the security questions yourself.

Coursera hands Andrew Ng $100 million to rebuild learning
Coursera just put $100 million into LearnVector, the AI-native learning company founded by its own co-founder Andrew Ng, taking roughly a third of the company at about a $300 million valuation. The pitch is AI tutors that keep practising with you until you prove you have actually mastered something, aimed at working adults rather than students. First products land in early 2027. If Ng gets this right, the course library you bought last year becomes the least interesting line in your training budget.

BlackRock owns 80% of Meta's newest $14 billion data center
Meta and BlackRock will build a 1-gigawatt AI campus in El Paso for around $14 billion, and BlackRock's funds take 80% of it while Meta keeps 20% and leases the whole thing back as sole tenant. Meta contributes land and half-built assets worth $2.3 billion, BlackRock puts in $4.9 billion in cash plus a $12.5 billion debt package, and the first compute arrives in 2028. Watch this structure closely, because it is how the biggest AI spenders keep enormous buildouts off their own balance sheets.
