Anthropic Mythos Model Flags Vulnerabilities In U.S. Government Systems Anthropic’s Mythos artificial intelligence model identified vulnerabilities in highly sensitive U.S. government computer systems during a testing exercise, according to a report by the Associated Press on Tuesday. The testing took place under Project Glasswing, a restricted programme designed to identify and address weaknesses in critical software before attackers could exploit them. Anthropic worked alongside U.S. intelligence agencies during the exercise, with the goal of strengthening the security of government systems. Project Glasswing Testing Effort According to the Associated Press, Project Glasswing focuses on uncovering vulnerabilities in essential software used within…
France Orders 5,000 Military Drones From Harmattan AI France has ordered 5,000 military drones from French defence technology startup Harmattan AI, marking one of the country’s largest acquisitions of small unmanned aerial systems as it accelerates efforts to strengthen domestic drone production. The French Army Ministry announced the purchase on Tuesday, saying the drones will be delivered to the armed forces by early 2027 at the latest. The order follows an earlier delivery of 1,000 drones from Harmattan AI in January 2026, highlighting the growing role of the company in France’s defence modernisation strategy. Major Boost For Domestic Drone Production…
Tata Electronics Cybersecurity Incident Exposes Apple And Tesla Documents Tata Electronics said on Monday that it had identified a recent cybersecurity incident after security researchers reported that the ransomware group World Leaks had published what appeared to be component design and specification documents linked to Apple and Tesla, both of which are customers of the Indian company. Researchers told Reuters that the group had uploaded more than 200,000 files to the dark web. Tata Electronics stated that it detected the incident several weeks ago and immediately activated its response protocols. According to the company, the incident has not affected business…
Trump Orders Quantum Computing Push To Strengthen U.S. Technology Leadership U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signed two executive orders aimed at accelerating the development of quantum technologies, including efforts to build a powerful quantum computer for scientific research and strengthen protections against future cyber threats.

Could AI Agent Loops Make Prompting Obsolete? The rise of generative artificial intelligence transformed how people interact with technology. Following the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, users largely relied on prompts to guide AI models. As a result, prompt engineering became a valuable skill, with carefully crafted instructions often producing better results. However, the next phase of AI interaction is already taking shape. Developers are increasingly turning to AI agents that can complete tasks with limited human involvement. Instead of repeatedly entering prompts, users can assign work, review progress, and intervene only when necessary. Now, another shift is emerging. Developers…
