Insider Brief A Nature study from Microsoft Quantum and Quantinuum found that quantum error-correction techniques reduced computational errors by factors ranging from 11-fold to 800-fold compared with equivalent calculations performed directly on physical qubits. Using two error-correction approaches known as the carbon code and tesseract code, the researchers demonstrated repeated mid-computation error correction and lower … Read more

Guest Post by Komala S Madineedi Every new compute paradigm eventually gets measured against the data center playbook. Not because data centers represent the endpoint of computing, but because they represent one of the most successful examples of compute industrialization. Over decades, computing evolved from individual hardware components into layered systems of infrastructure, platforms, ecosystems, … Read more

Insider Brief A Coinbase advisory board report concluded that while quantum computers capable of breaking current blockchain cryptography are not imminent, the cryptocurrency industry should begin preparing now for a transition to post-quantum security. The report identified post-quantum migration challenges including larger signature sizes, the lack of efficient post-quantum aggregate signatures, potential impacts on blockchain … Read more

Moonshot AI released Kimi K2.7-Code this week, an open-source update to its K2 coding model family, claiming leaner reasoning and double-digit performance gains.K2.7-Code is built on the same trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts architecture as its predecessor K2.6, and drops in via an OpenAI-compatible API — which matters for teams already running K2.6 in production gateways.When K2.6 launched … Read more

Large language models continue to struggle with hallucinations, presenting a major roadblock for real-world enterprise applications. Reducing these errors is a messy business, forcing model developers to navigate a strict tradeoff where eliminating factual errors often suppresses valid answers.In a new paper, Google researchers introduce the concept of “faithful uncertainty,” a metacognitive technique that aligns … Read more

Insider Brief SEALSQ and WISeKey provided an update on the Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud (QSOC), a planned satellite-based platform for post-quantum security, digital identity, quantum randomness, and AI services. The first QSOC satellite is scheduled for launch in Q4 2026, with a long-term roadmap targeting a constellation of up to 100 satellites by 2033. The … Read more
