Microsoft has uncovered 20 previously unknown vulnerabilities in the GRUB2, U-Boot, and Barebox open-source bootloaders using its AI-powered Security Copilot. These bootloaders are critical components, with GRUB2 commonly used in Linux distributions like Ubuntu, and U-Boot and Barebox prevalent in embedded and IoT devices. The identified vulnerabilities include integer and buffer overflows in filesystem parsers, command flaws, and a side-channel in cryptographic comparison, potentially enabling threat actors to gain control and execute arbitrary code.
Water Gamayun, a suspected Russian hacking group, has been linked to the exploitation of CVE-2025-26633 (MSC EvilTwin) to deploy SilentPrism and DarkWisp. The group uses malicious provisioning packages, signed .msi files, and Windows MSC files to deliver information stealers and backdoors. These backdoors, SilentPrism and DarkWisp, enable persistence, system reconnaissance, data exfiltration, and remote command execution. The threat actors transitioned to their own infrastructure for staging and command-and-control purposes after using a GitHub repository to push various kinds of malware families. Recommended read:

OpenAI Releases Open-Source AI Model - OpenAI's strategic shift towards open-source AI models responds to economic pressure from competitors like DeepSeek and Meta.
ImgSrc: venturebeat.com
OpenAI has announced plans to release its first "open-weight" language model since 2019, marking a strategic reversal for the company known for its proprietary AI systems like ChatGPT. Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, revealed the news on X, stating that the model would allow developers to run it on their own hardware, contrasting with OpenAI's cloud-based subscription model. This announcement follows Altman's admission that OpenAI had been "on the wrong side of history" regarding open-source AI, prompted by the release of DeepSeek R1, an open-source model from China.
This move comes as OpenAI faces increasing economic pressure from competitors like DeepSeek and Meta, who are leveraging open-source AI models. These competitors have created an economic reality that OpenAI couldn't ignore, with Meta's Llama models already surpassing one billion downloads. OpenAI reportedly spends $7-8 billion annually on operations, while competitors are utilizing open-source models that operate at a fraction of the cost. The release of an open-weight model signals a potential paradigm shift in the AI industry towards increased collaboration and openness. Recommended read:

Researchers are making strides in understanding how AI models think. Anthropic has developed an "AI microscope" to peek into the internal processes of its Claude model, revealing how it plans ahead, even when generating poetry. This tool provides a limited view of how the AI processes information and reasons through complex tasks. The microscope suggests that Claude uses a language-independent internal representation, a "universal language of thought", for multilingual reasoning.
The team at Google DeepMind introduced JetFormer, a new Transformer designed to directly model raw data. This model, capable of both understanding and generating text and images seamlessly, maximizes the likelihood of raw data without depending on any pre-trained components. Additionally, a comprehensive benchmark called FACTS Grounding has been introduced to evaluate the factuality of large language models (LLMs). This benchmark measures how accurately LLMs ground their responses in provided source material and avoid hallucinations, aiming to improve trust and reliability in AI-generated information.

Anthropic is gaining traction in the AI infrastructure space with its Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced last November as an open standard for secure, two-way connections between data sources and AI-powered tools. This protocol is designed to simplify the process of building AI agents by providing a standard way for applications to retrieve data, allowing agents to take actions based on that data. Microsoft and Cloudflare have already announced support for MCP, with Microsoft highlighting that MCP simplifies agent building and reduces maintenance time.
The MCP protocol works by taking natural language input from a large-language model and providing a standard way for MCP clients to find and retrieve data stored on servers running MCP. This is analogous to the API, which made web-based computing a standard. Previously, developers needed to set up MCP servers locally, which was impractical for most users. This barrier to entry has now been removed. In other news, Anthropic is facing a legal challenge as music publishers' request for a preliminary injunction in their copyright infringement suit was denied. The publishers alleged that Anthropic's LLM Claude was trained on their song lyrics. However, the judge ruled that the publishers failed to demonstrate specific financial harm and that their list of forbidden lyrics was not final, requiring constant updates to Anthropic's guard rails. The case is ongoing, and the publishers can collect more evidence. Recommended read:
