- Anthropic warns Claude Mythos Preview finds bugs faster than developers can patch them
Anthropic's AI model Claude Mythos Preview, working with about 50 partners as part of Project Glasswing, has found over 10,000 critical vulnerabilities in system-critical software. The bugs are piling up faster than anyone can patch them. Anthropic warns this creates a high-risk transition period and says no company, itself included, has built safeguards strong enough to prevent misuse of these models.

- PLA Daily Translation: Reflections on Warfare Brought by AGI
Source “Reflections on Warfare Brought by AGI” (AGI带来的战争思考) Source: PLA Daily (解放军报) Date: January 21, 2025 Authors: Rong Ming (荣明), Hu Xiaofeng (胡晓峰) Introduction Please feel free to skip to the translation, about halfway down, though I would recommend reading the sections “On the source” and "On the Authors" just above it too. In November 2024, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission recommended that “Congress establish and fund a Manhattan Project-like program dedicated to racing to and acquiring an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) capability.” The United States increasingly treats advanced AI as a strategic imperative, and China is frequently invoked as a reason to race. The broader framing of AI competition as a race between great powers reflects an assumption that China is a peer competitor in pursuing AGI. But is China pursuing AGI? The prevailing expert view says no. China's August 2025 AI+ Action Plan reads as diffusion-first industrial policy, with adoptio

- Gemini 3.5 Flash Looks Good For How Fast It Is
Google once again has a model worth at least some consideration. Gemini 3.5 Flash is likely the best model out there at its particular speed point, as long as you don’t mind that it is a Gemini model. So for cases where speed kills, this can be a reasonable choice. Otherwise, I don’t see signs you would want to use it over Opus 4.7 or GPT-5.5. Google also had some other offerings for I/O Day, which this post will also cover. Introducing Google Gemini 3.5 ‘Flash’ Google introduced Gemini 3.5 Flash , which it seems is for now their universal model until 3.5 Pro comes along. It is live in the usual places. It is a hybrid, where it has the speed of Flash but the cost is at least halfway to models like Opus and GPT-5.5. Gemini 3.5 Pro is confirmed for next month. They are focused on 3.5 Flash as a daily driver for agentic tasks. It has the advantage of being faster and cheaper than Claude Opus 4.7 or GPT-5.5, if it can do the job. Not as cheap as previous Flash models, though, this is basic

- Oracle and the AI boom’s hidden debt bomb
The old adage goes that during a boom, the companies that profit most are the ones selling the picks and shovels. This January, even as consensus had largely settled around the idea that an AI bubble exists, something even Sam Altman acknowledged last August, Blackstone called investing in the “picks and shovels” of AI a “generational” opportunity. The safer bet, we’re told, lies not in the models themselves but in AI’s physical infrastructure: data centers, chips, and electricity. “The Real AI Talent War Is for Plumbers and Electricians,” declared a January headline in Wired . Of the major players in artificial intelligence, a few might reasonably be considered picks-and-shovels companies. Nvidia, led by Jensen Huang , is one. Another is Oracle, which under Larry Ellison has spent the past year building some of the country’s largest AI data centers to provide computing power for companies like OpenAI. But insofar as Oracle has been selling picks and shovels, enormous ones at that, it
