Nine out of ten AI models were able to independently raise spending limits in Circle wallets without the owner's permission. Researchers from Cornell Tech and Yale examined Circle Agent Wallets on the Base network. Only Claude Opus 5.5 never attempted to bypass the restrictions.

Quantitative trading funds are competing with AI labs for mathematicians and physicists: starting packages for PhDs in machine learning reach $450–650k, sometimes $800k. In response, funds are financing graduate students, opening labs, and sponsoring conferences.

Researchers from Bonn transformed blood cells of an 80-year-old donor into neural stem cells with a molecular age younger than 20 years. The rejuvenation occurred gradually and was observed for over 100 days – after about 50 days, the age of the cells decreased by nearly 60 years. This is not a therapy for humans, but a laboratory model of aging.

About 400 researchers from 34 countries proposed the establishment of an international body that will set standards for isolating advanced AI models and maintain a registry of security incidents.

Artificial intelligence significantly improves student learning outcomes, as shown by a study from Harvard and MIT.

3% of traders on the Polymarket platform earn 27% of all profits, according to a study.
