Project Glasswing — Anthropic's AI model finds thousands of critical vulnerabilities

Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative backed by major tech companies including AWS, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. The project centers on Claude Mythos Preview, an unreleased AI model that has already discovered thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities across major operating systems and web browsers, including flaws that survived decades of human review. Anthropic is committing $100M in usage credits and $4M in direct donations to help over 40 organizations use the model for defensive security scanning. This represents a critical shift where AI capabilities in cybersecurity now match the most skilled human experts at finding and exploiting software flaws.

Meta open-sources BOxCrete AI model for optimized concrete production

Meta has open-sourced BOxCrete, an AI model using Bayesian optimization to rapidly design concrete mixes with domestic materials, bypassing months of traditional lab testing. Deployed at Meta's Rosemount, MN data center, the system achieved 43% faster time to full structural strength, 10% reduction in cracking risk, and 100% domestic material usage. Meta is releasing the model along with foundational data from over 500 strength measurements across 123 different mix designs. This democratizes AI-powered concrete optimization for an industry slow to adopt technology, potentially reducing global CO2 emissions while improving construction speed and supply chain resilience.

Gravity Industries jet suits cut mountain rescue times from 75 to 3.5 minutes

Gravity Industries jet suits are being deployed by paramedics for mountain rescues on Helvellyn, a 950-meter peak in England's Lake District, reducing response times from 1 hour 15 minutes on foot to just 3.5 minutes by air. The suits use arm-mounted jet engines to enable precise maneuvering over rugged terrain, though they cost $447,000-$600,000 per unit. This represents a breakthrough in emergency response technology that could save lives in remote mountain locations where every minute counts during medical emergencies.

Sanders, AOC introduce bill for federal moratorium on new AI datacenters

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have introduced federal legislation to place a temporary ban on construction of new AI datacenters, following similar moratoriums passed by towns and counties across 11 states since August 2025. The bill aims to give the US government time to create federal AI safeguards amid growing concerns about datacenter impacts on utility costs, energy consumption, and climate effects - with some regions seeing power costs surge 267% over five years and projections showing datacenters could account for nearly half of all US power sector emissions under current climate targets. This represents a shift of datacenter opposition from local margins to mainstream federal policy consideration.

Morgan Stanley predicts AI breakthrough in H1 2026, warns of 9-18 GW power deficit

Morgan Stanley released a report predicting a transformative AI breakthrough in the first half of 2026, driven by massive compute buildouts at major AI labs following scaling laws that suggest 10x compute doubles model intelligence. The bank projects a critical U.S. power shortfall of 9-18 gigawatts (12-25% deficit) through 2028 to support AI infrastructure, with companies already converting Bitcoin mining operations and deploying natural gas turbines to meet demand. A new '15-15-15' economic model is emerging with 15-year data center leases at 15% yields generating $15 per watt. This signals that AI advancement is outpacing critical infrastructure capacity, creating potential bottlenecks for the intelligence explosion.

Foundation delivers Phantom MK-1 combat humanoid robots to Ukraine

San Francisco-based Foundation delivered two Phantom MK-1 humanoid soldier robots to Ukraine in February for frontline reconnaissance support. The robots are designed for defense applications and can operate various small arms from pistols to M-16 rifles, with the goal of performing combat functions in place of human soldiers. Foundation already holds $24 million in research contracts with the US military and plans to test the robots in Marine Corps exercises for tasks like placing explosives on doors. This represents a significant step toward deploying autonomous humanoid systems in active combat zones.

NVIDIA launches Nemotron 3 Super — 120B open model for agentic AI systems

NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Super, a 120-billion-parameter open-weight model with 12 billion active parameters designed specifically for multi-agent AI systems. The model features a 1-million-token context window, delivers up to 5x higher throughput and 2x higher accuracy versus previous versions, and tops efficiency benchmarks while powering NVIDIA's AI-Q to #1 on DeepResearch leaderboards. Major enterprises like Palantir, Siemens, and Cadence are deploying it for workflow automation, while AI companies like Perplexity and Factory AI are integrating it into their agent platforms. This addresses the core scalability challenges of agentic AI - context explosion and computational costs - making autonomous multi-agent workflows economically viable for enterprise deployment.

NVIDIA defines AI as 5-layer infrastructure stack requiring trillions in buildout

NVIDIA published a comprehensive manifesto outlining AI as essential infrastructure built on a five-layer stack: energy, chips, infrastructure, models, and applications. The company argues AI has shifted from pre-recorded software to real-time intelligence generation, requiring complete computing stack reinvention and trillions in infrastructure investment beyond the hundreds of billions already spent. NVIDIA positions this as the largest infrastructure buildout in human history, creating demand for skilled workers from electricians to network technicians, while noting AI models have crossed a usefulness threshold in the past year with applications showing real economic value in drug discovery, logistics, and manufacturing. This framework legitimizes massive capital expenditure across the AI ecosystem and positions physical infrastructure as the foundation of the AI revolution.

Anthropic designated supply chain risk by Department of War over AI limits

The Department of War has designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk to national security, restricting the company's Claude AI from being used in direct Department of War contracts. This follows disagreements over Anthropic's exceptions on fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, despite previous collaboration on intelligence analysis, operational planning, and cyber operations. The designation threatens to disrupt AI integration in military operations during active combat situations.

OpenAI's $500B Stargate project stalls, turns to Google for compute power

The $500 billion Stargate AI data center project announced by Trump in January 2025, involving OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and MGX, has stalled after six months with scaled-back plans to build just one smaller data center by year-end. OpenAI is scrambling for computing capacity, turning to rival Google while securing 40% of global DRAM production through deals with Samsung and SK Hynix. Oracle has pushed delivery schedules from 2027 to 2028 due to labor shortages and supply constraints. This represents a major setback for what was positioned as the largest AI infrastructure project in history.
