3T parameter open weights model! Wish I had something to run this on 😂
Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro: our most capable 3T-class open-weight model. 🔹 1M-token context, 2.8T total / 104B active params (MoE), Multimodal. 🔹 Full-project coding: games in Unreal, Unity & Godot. 🔹 Excels at parametric 3D modeling in Blender & CAD. 🔹 More reliable at finance work: Accurate modeling with hallucination down by 65%. 🔹 Matching the strongest proprietary models across coding, agentic and knowledge benchmarks. Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed (2–3× faster) are now live on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, and the Kimi API. Open weights by Nov 4, 2026. 🔗 API: platform.kimi.ai 🔗 Tech blog: kimi.ai/blog/kimi-k3-1-pro

JUST IN: Palmer Luckey's genetically modified military dog startup, Warhound, comes out of stealth, aiming to create enhanced canines for the U.S. military.
Community note
This is NOT Palmer's company at all, his company Anduril is only supplying the tech for the dogs, and this is a wholly owed Collosal entiity x.com/palmerluckey/s…

To be clear about this story: People are pointing their AI agents at their own accounts.
SITUATION DETECTED: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized AI agents operating inside customer accounts and struggling to determine which actions were authorized by users, per Axios.

Vulnerabilities like this are not happening every other day. We can revisit that in six months or so as models get better 🤷 Those numbers about EOL PHP are not surprising, it’s not as popular as it once was (thank goodness). You’ll have a lot of breaches in older sites and apps for a short while, it’ll burn through the vulnerable endpoints, and it’ll fade to a level like log4j, eternal blue, and other remote exploits where it’s a common way to get owned, but not causing an “internet doomsday”

Idk I feel like you’re trying to play it down more than it is. And the thing your missing is these are dropping every other day no once a year

We are taking the PHP exploits very seriously.
We’re shutting down too. We don’t use php I just don’t wanna work tomorrow.

The attacker would have to know about it, and use it to issue their malicious-but-checks-out certs, which nobody seems to have seen any indication of. So, I wouldn't say that this impacts "almost all" comms across the internet for the past year and a half. I think there's the possibility for tightly targeted attacks on a small scale where CT logging/checking isn't enforced
Replying to @McGrewSecurity
Certs signed apr 2025 so they had almost 18 months where potential of easy MitM for almost all “secure” comms across the internet? I think that’s a pretty big deal. I know it’s spilt milk but still …
