Security

The era of ‘bigger is better’ in AI is ending—quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation are making smaller, faster models the new standard.

Zero-day web framework vulnerabilities expose how slow coordinated patching can be—and why defense-in-depth matters more than fast patching alone.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have demonstrated a working proof-of-concept: an AI worm that autonomously reasons about its environment, generates attack strategies, and replicates itself without human intervention. It operates entirely on open-weight local models. This is no longer theoretical.
