Exploit brokers pay $500,000 for a WordPress RCE. I found one with GPT5.6 Sol Ultra and $25
Using an advanced multi-agent LLM approach, a researcher discovered a critical zero-day vulnerability in WordPress that allows for pre-authentication RCE. The exploit chain leverages the WordPress batch API to trigger an SQL injection, which is then escalated to full system control.

I built an open-source AutoML tool that searches 17 quantum ML classifiers (PennyLane + Optuna) and benchmarks them against classical baselines
QuOptuna introduces a unified AutoML framework that streamlines the training of quantum and classical machine learning models. It emphasizes governance by incorporating fairness constraints and automated explainability into the optimization loop.

Mathematicians grapple with a ‘very rapid and very unsettling change’ as AI cracks yet another century-old problem
An AI-driven breakthrough has disproved the long-standing Jacobian conjecture, marking a significant milestone in computational mathematics. This achievement highlights both the immense potential of AI in scientific discovery and the growing concerns among mathematicians regarding the future of human reasoning.

Cursor, Ramp, and Meta are all building model routers — but two have major model ambitions themselves
The AI industry is seeing a surge in 'model routers' designed to intelligently distribute LLM queries to the most cost-effective and capable models. Companies including Cursor, Ramp, and Meta are developing these systems to optimize performance and reduce the high costs associated with frontier-grade models.

Apple Reverses Age-Old Patch Policy to Keep Up With AI
Apple has transitioned to a more frequent security patching cadence to mitigate the risks posed by AI-driven cyberattacks. While this reduces the window for exploitation, experts warn that user behavior and the lack of advanced endpoint security frameworks on mobile remain significant vulnerabilities.

AI Is Too Expensive: AI is, as it stands, not economically viable for anybody involved other than the construction firms, NVIDIA, and the surrounding hardware companies benefitting from the irrational exuberance of a data center buildout that doesn’t appear to be happening at the speed we believed
The article critiques the unsustainable economic model of the current AI boom, arguing that the massive capital expenditures by hyperscalers like Microsoft and Amazon are not matched by sufficient, consistent revenue streams. The author stresses that for AI to be profitable, revenue must explode dramatically, and the operational costs (OpEx) of running data centers must be accounted for.
