| 🥇 OpenAI model reaches Math Olympiad gold level LINK
|
- OpenAI's experimental reasoning LLM, known as the "IMO gold LLM", has achieved a gold-medal level performance at the prestigious International Mathematical Olympiad competition.
- Unlike specialized math-only engines, this model is a general reasoning LLM developed using reinforcement learning and scaled inference to solve complex, multi-hour problems.
- CEO Sam Altman described the achievement as a key step toward general intelligence, confirming this specific model won't be released for public use for months.
| 🚨 Microsoft SharePoint servers are under attack LINK
|
- A zero-day exploit in Microsoft's on-premises SharePoint servers allows unauthenticated access, placing tens of thousands of organizations using the software at risk of attack.
- Hackers can steal authentication keys to impersonate users and move across networks to access connected services like Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive for data theft.
- The stolen keys remain effective even after a server is patched, meaning compromised systems continue to be a persistent security risk for affected businesses.
| 👀 UK backs down on Apple backdoor after US pressure LINK
|
- The UK is reportedly backing down from its demand for an iCloud backdoor, a secret order issued to Apple under the Investigatory Powers Act.
- This potential reversal follows intense pressure from the US government, with President Trump telling the UK's Prime Minister directly, "You can't do this."
- Apple challenged the government's Technical Capability Notice in court and was later joined by Meta's WhatsApp, creating a unified front between the two tech rivals.
| 📖 Foldable iPhone may launch in 2026 for $2,000 LINK
|
- Apple's first foldable iPhone may launch in 2026 with a price of at least $2,000 and a book-style form factor similar to Samsung's foldables.
- The device will not be a technological breakthrough, as it uses core components like foldable OLED screens sourced directly from Samsung Display.
- Apple is working on improving common issues like the inner display crease and hinge mechanism, counting on its marketing prowess to drive sales.
| 👶 Elon Musk announces a new kid-friendly AI Grok LINK
|
- Elon Musk announced on X that his company xAI is developing Baby Grok, a new app designed to provide children with kid-friendly AI content.
- Details on Baby Grok are currently vague, but the app is expected to be a scaled-down model with stricter safety measures for educational purposes.
- The announcement comes amid safety concerns over xAI's existing AI, including the main Grok chatbot and flirtatious "Companions" avatars like the character Ani.
