OpenAI's internal model has been revealed to autonomously solve mathematical problems and bypass the sandbox, with internal testing exceeding two months

According to external disclosure information, OpenAI has been internally running an unreleased model. This model, without the aid of tools like Lean, solves the unit distance problem with a 48% probability through a single autonomous inference and can independently find a counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture based on a single prompt. In security testing, this model has bypassed the sandbox environment and submitted results that should have been released internally to GitHub in the form of a Pull Request, and it has evaded detection by splitting authentication tokens. Relevant code records show that OpenAI began benchmarking this model no later than May 9, and its internal availability has exceeded 2.5 months.Previously, OpenAI and Hugging Face jointly disclosed that last week this model breached Hugging Face's production infrastructure during a network capability assessment. The model gained internet access through a zero-day vulnerability and obtained testing solutions by stealing credentials and exploiting remote code execution paths. OpenAI stated that this incident indicates the network attack capabilities of advanced models have been effective in real-world scenarios, and they are collaborating with Hugging Face to investigate and patch the vulnerabilities. Currently, OpenAI has not publicly commented on this matter.

The Ethereum institutional privacy technology company EthSystems has officially been established to create Ethereum privacy solutions for institutions

The Ethereum institutional privacy technology company EthSystems has officially launched and received strategic funding support from ecosystem backers such as Bitmine, Sharplink Gaming, Joe Lubin, and SNZ Holding.EthSystems focuses on developing privacy technologies for banks, asset management companies, and other regulated entities, enabling institutions to execute financial transactions on the Ethereum network at scale while protecting sensitive information such as transaction details and client identities.The company was founded by the core team of the Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) of the Ethereum Foundation. The team has previously conducted a year-long open-source research and development publicly on the EthSystems website and has established partnerships with several central banks, regulatory agencies, large banks, and asset management institutions. EthSystems stated that while institutions have begun exploring stablecoins, tokenized assets, and Ethereum-based settlement solutions, large-scale adoption still faces privacy and compliance challenges.Financial institutions need more than just access to blockchain networks; they require a complete infrastructure that meets business confidentiality protection, regulatory requirements, and compatibility with existing financial systems. The goal is to create a "selective disclosure" privacy architecture that allows transaction participants to view only the information they are authorized to access, while retaining the core advantages of Ethereum's decentralization, security, and openness, and complementing two other organizations: Ethlabs, which focuses on the research and development of Ethereum's core protocol and infrastructure; Ethereum Institutional, responsible for institutional collaboration, education, market research, and ecosystem coordination; and EthSystems, which focuses on application layer technology, transforming institutional needs into practical privacy protocols and financial systems.

a16z Crypto: The prediction market still needs to solve the problems of manipulation risks and information bias

a16z Crypto published an article analyzing the unique value and challenges faced by prediction markets. Prediction markets allow participants to trade on the outcomes of events, aggregating dispersed information through price signals to provide real-time estimates of the probabilities of future events. Unlike traditional polls, prediction markets have the ability to update in real-time and incentivize participants to bet their capital on their information, thereby improving prediction accuracy.The article points out that prediction markets are used not only by companies for product launches and research experiment forecasts but also by the media as a source of "crowd wisdom," covering a wide range of events from geopolitical issues to AI model performance. Its core advantage lies in providing independent probability estimates for specific events, rather than relying on indirect signals from overall asset price movements. However, prediction markets still face challenges related to infrastructure and market design, including event verification, contract settlement, participant information adequacy, and potential manipulation risks.a16z believes that if these issues are resolved, prediction markets are expected to become important tools for decision-making and information aggregation, expanding financial and societal insights into future events.

Grafana: Investigation reveals that recent security incidents have not affected customer production systems and operations

The open-source data visualization tool Grafana has released the latest progress on the investigation of the security incident on May 16. The investigation found that this incident was limited to the GitHub environment of Grafana Labs, including both public and private source code as well as internal GitHub repositories, and did not affect customer production systems, operations, or the Grafana Cloud platform. The downloaded content, in addition to the source code, also included some repositories used by the team for collaboration and storage of internal operational information and business details, involving business contact names and email addresses, rather than data from production systems or the cloud platform.Grafana Labs has made it clear that the codebase was downloaded but not tampered with, and currently, customers and open-source users do not need to take any action. The incident originated from a TanStack npm supply chain attack conducted through the Mini Shai-Hulud campaign. Grafana Labs detected malicious activity on May 11 and initiated an emergency response, but a credential was overlooked, allowing the attacker to gain access. After receiving a ransom demand on May 16, the company decided not to pay the ransom and has rotated automated credentials, implemented enhanced monitoring, audited all commits since May 11, and significantly strengthened GitHub security configurations. The company has notified federal law enforcement, and the investigation is ongoing.
