The cost to prompt high-end AI LLMs has plummeted from $20 per million tokens to $0.07 per million in just 18 months, according to Stanford’s2025 AI Index Report. A panoramic view of the worldwide AI landscape, Stanford’s annual report also reports a serious need for more responsible AI guardrails and a tightening race between the US and China’s emerging AI tech. Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) has published its annual AI Index Report since 2017, with its recent reports regularly cited by world governments....

A group of researchers created a first-generation AI worm that can steal data, spread malware, spam others via an email client, and spread through multiple systems. This worm was developed and successfully functions in test environments using popular LLMs. The team sharedresearch papersand published a video showing how they used two methods to steal data and affect other email clients. Ben Nassi from Cornell Tech, Stav Cohen from the Israel Institute of Technology, and Ron Bitton from Intuit created this worm....

The engineers behind the AMD Instinct MI300A APU havepublished their researchon crafting the future of “exascale heterogeneous processing.” The MI300A is the processor at the heart of El Capitan, which is expected to become the world’s fastest supercomputer when it begins operation this year. It is projected to run at two exaFLOPS. 13 AMD scientists cooperated on the recent research paper establishing the ways and means to achieve exaFLOPS performance. The thread from X (formerly Twitter) above provides an excellent birds-eye view of the research process, posted by one of the paper’s authors....
