Insider Brief IBM and the University of Chicago demonstrated a logical quantum computing experiment that achieved computations beyond leading classical simulation methods while providing verification of the results. The researchers used encoded quantum circuits with 70 logical qubits, completing thousands of logical operations with lower effective error rates than the underlying physical qubits. The team … Read more

Days after OpenAI disclosed that two frontier AI models escaped containment measures and autonomously cyberattacked the AI code sharing platform Hugging Face, OpenAI’s top U.S. rival Anthropic tonight revealed that — lo and behold — it has also had models surreptitiously access the web when they weren’t supposed to, and cyberattack and gain “unauthorized access” … Read more

Just two weeks after Thinking Machines released Inkling, its first open source AI language model, the well-funded startup led by former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati today introduced Inkling-Small without sacrificing much of any performance — and in fact, the new model surpasses its larger predecessor on several benchmarks.Inkling Small is a 276-billion-parameter multimodal … Read more

To quote an ancient Jedi Master “Begun, the AI price wars have!”OpenAI is sharply reducing the prices of two models in its GPT-5.6 frontier series, cutting GPT-5.6 Luna, the smallest and fastest model in the series, by 80% and GPT-5.6 Terra, the mid-tier model, by 20%, while adding a premium Fast mode for its flagship … Read more

Every time a Mastercard gets tapped, the network has less than a tenth of a second to judge how likely the purchase is to be fraudulent. It made that call across 175 billion transactions last year. Now the buyer on the other side of that judgment is starting to change, and Greg Ulrich, the company’s … Read more

Less than a year after emerging from stealth to tackle non-human identity security, Israeli cybersecurity startup Hush Security believes the enterprise AI security conversation has fundamentally changed.The company, which earlier this week announced a $30 million Series A round led by returning investors Battery Ventures and YL Ventures with Akamai Technologies joining as a strategic … Read more

Insider Brief Quantum World Congress has announced Booz Allen as the presenting sponsor of the 2026 Quantum Startup Pitch Competition, where early-stage quantum companies will compete for funding, mentorship, and industry exposure during the September 23–25 event in Maryland. The competition offers a $25,000 grand prize, a featured Startup Launchpad table, mentorship from NEXT powered … Read more

Insider Brief NIST is developing and promoting post-quantum cryptography standards to help organizations protect data and internet traffic from future quantum computer threats. NIST cryptography expert Andrew Regenscheid explained that organizations need to begin preparing for PQC migration because encrypted data may already face “harvest now, decrypt later” risks. The agency’s PQC standards process involved … Read more

Insider Brief The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory’s Quantum Science Institute is advancing research in quantum sensing, computing, networking, and enabling technologies to support future Navy applications. NRL researchers are developing quantum algorithms, navigation technologies, secure communication systems, and foundational quantum technologies through partnerships with government, academia, and industry. The institute supports U.S. quantum workforce development … Read more

Insider Brief Researchers from Pusan National University and Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology demonstrated photon interference between two different quantum light sources, a cesium atomic ensemble and a semiconductor quantum dot. The experiment produced indistinguishable photons from separate quantum systems and achieved Hong–Ou–Mandel interference with a visibility of 0.65 ± 0.14 without spectral … Read more
