Artificial intelligence has opened a new chapter in the study of historical cryptography, with advanced AI systems reportedly helping researchers solve two German Enigma messages that had resisted decryption for decades. The cases involve OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra and Anthropic's Claude Opus 5, but the significance extends beyond the recovery of two historical plaintexts. The experiments demonstrate how modern AI can combine archival investigation, programming, mathematical reasoning,...

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is creating a new infrastructure challenge: computing capacity is increasingly constrained not only by chips, networks and capital, but by access to electricity. As AI workloads become larger and data centers grow into facilities capable of consuming enormous amounts of power, the traditional model of treating a data center as a fixed, continuously operating electricity customer is becoming harder to sustain. The challenge is particularly...

The artificial intelligence coding market is entering a more consequential stage as Cognition, the company behind the Devin AI coding agent, reportedly moves toward another major financing round only months after its previous raise. The San Francisco-based startup is reportedly discussing a new round of approximately $1 billion at a valuation of around $47 billion, according to the material provided. Investor demand could potentially push the financing above that level, with nearly $10...
