Rogue AI breaches, market jitters, and open-weight model breakthroughs

• The attack conceals its prompt using white text on a white background at font size 8, which survives Copilot's formatting stripping and remains fully readable to the LLM.
• Copilot can automatically discover and incorporate the malicious file from a user's OneDrive during 'Edit with Copilot' mode without requiring manual attachment.
• In the proof-of-concept, Copilot silently halved all numerical values in a drafted financial report and appended the full hidden prompt to the bottom of the generated document.
• Microsoft attempted two mitigations during the disclosure: a UI overhaul for 'Edit with Copilot' and a model upgrade to GPT-5.5, but both were bypassed using modified payloads.

with LLM architectures I think that's true, and we don't have anything looking particularly competitive for large scale use atm

I also don't think this is about mixing, the LLM part of the problem doesn't have determinism around the boundaries so they're feel good at best, maybe making some cases a bit harder

This has been a security vulnerability since day 1 with these models, yet collectively the people who use them just simply don't seem to care about the security implications. Its especially problematic given that people let AI agents have full unrestricted access to their system

Its going to take even more data breaches for the AI crowd to finally care, but to a large degree I have absolutely no sympathy. You know what you're signing up for if you sell yourself to anthropic or openai

It seems like you mean to use your own agent (where you control the prompts), not local inference. A custom agent works just as well with cloud based models.

iririririr (thread)

this is cope (i mean, it happens a lot, but is not the cause of what is seem on the paper).

I noticed even with plenty of context, the model sometimes chose a path that "fools" the attention layers to bypass some rules. you can notice that the rules are not ignored, they are sidestepped. it's very predictable emergent behaviour after you see it happen. with more context, it actually gets worse to the point you will see some things obfuscated even.

Aurornis (thread)

Want it to go away, almost like magic? Local inference. When its under your control, and no longer being forced to hold it wrong, all of the common LLM defects will go away.

This is just not true. Any local LLM you can host on consumer-accessible hardware has all of these defects, too. Adjusting the knobs doesn't solve everything.

The closest you can get to frontier performance is Kimi K3, but you're not hosting that unless your budget is on the order of a nice house in a good metro area.

I like my local LLMs as much as the next person and my office is currently uncomfortably warm from the amount of compute happening, but I would never agree that local LLMs solve all of the common LLM defects. This is peak wishful thinking.

In my experience, the local models and even the larger ones that we can't run at home suffer more from long context degradation than the frontier models. You are exactly right that you need to manage context length, but even at fp16/BF16 the local models have a lower ceiling for usable context length in my experience.

msejas (thread)

Most people don't understand that 'agentic AI' is a completely synthetic, force fed capability by extensive Reinforcement Learning on synthetic domain specific 'agentic' datasets on post training.

If the LLM wasn't post-trained to adhere to specific handbook, it just won't work. If the LLM wasn't trained on an use case the lab decided was worth making a synthetic agentic dataset, it won't work as well as you want.

There's a reason the main agentic task LLMs excel at are coding tasks, it's the way of working of the creators, and they understand intimately the flow and can train for it.

I believe the true way will be able to easily fine tune models on your agentic use cases, but it would require a big company to compile a huge dataset on it's way of working and I don't think anyone wants to be the first.

In terms of long context, accurate attention retrieval from early tokens is just impossible, given the expansion of RoPE encoding for the positions, or in case of Kimi that don't use it anymore, as well as deepseek, early context is heavily compressed you lose accurate information.

If people spent more time studying about AI and how it works, they would realize that the default should be to one shot prompt your task with a big, cached system prmopt, with an user prompt that is just dynamic data, specified to the cheapest model that can do the job.

Unless you really can't do this given your problem, you should try to make a graph of well defined, step by step oneshot prompts, and THEN if your problem still can't be solved with that, then you start leveraging agents.

Despite this giving better results, and being more cost efficient, is evidently too much work then just letting the AI do all the work.

A friend of mine had a really good technique with parenting. He taught his kids the saying 'Funny once'. Children can come up with something that is quite amusing, especially if they say something that gives a new insight based upon their perspective. If they receive positive feedback from this they can fall into the trap of believing that it was the words themselves that had value and not the fact that they drew attention to a particular notion. Then they try repeating the same thing over and over again attempting to get the same positive response. Saying 'Funny once' and indeed teaching them to say 'Funny once' to themselves to acknowledge that providing information to someone who already has it has little value when compared to someone receiving it for the first time.

Those kids are adults now, and interesting people, weird but interesting.

[Almost all of my friends had weird kids (spectrum genes? Who knew? (Dear reader, Everyone knew)). When comparing parenting notes amongst our group asking 'Is this normal?' the frequent response was 'how would we know?']

What the blogificafion of AI research has done is allowed all kinds of claims and terminology related to AI to be introduced and taken up in a manner replicating social media dynamics. And that is simply not healthy. We're fast reaching a place where any claim can be backed up with a set of numbers from a number of experiments run in some gamified environment or the other, with little concern for if it all adds up to anything. It's a vicious loop, because this same junk then goes in to train the next models which help spit out the next set of models AND blogs/papers. The net effect is not dissimilar to setting termites loose in a library.

It can't 'learn' on its own. Models only get better with mountains of RnD for data, training, and lots of fine tuning.

AlexandrB (thread)

What's new is the inversion of who holds these opinions. With the internet/computers, company leadership was often the skeptical voice while small pockets of individuals would push these technologies from the bottom. AI is the complete opposite with skepticism coming bottom-up and push to adopt coming top-down. The last time this (almost) happened was "The Metaverse" which seemed to be getting a lot of push from the C suite.

This doesn't mean LLMs will be as useless as the metaverse, but a lot of the biggest proponents of the technology within companies are those most clueless about it which feels like a red flag.

TZubiri (thread)

Aren't there definitions of Truth that are not the negation of Falsehood? Can't there be a function True(x) that is not equal to !False(x)? Can't there be a third function Paradox(x) such that these counterexamples can be considered paradoxes and therefore outside of the truth? I'm admittedly not a logician and don't formally study paradoxes, but I never quite understood the whole category of "this sentence is false" paradoxes, I feel that the sentence is paradox and therefore it's neither false nor true. I do agree that it's a truth vector sounds like a silly panacea fantasy, though. But more logical formality is not the counter argument that would convince me of it, rather I believe that there's less formal and rigorous ways to get closer to truth.

I think this article pushes the premise farther than is reasonable. The best anyone expects from an LLM "truth vector" is that it would encode the model's belief about whether the statement is true. Of course a perfect truth oracle is impossible.

It might seem absurd to you to even suggest superhuman AIs could function as a truth-oracle (it certainly does to me), but there are two reasons to take it seriously. First, it is how these things will be used practically by the vast majority of people. They are already replacing standard Google search results, and I've had many discussions end with people delegating final authority on the truth to an AI. There are already organizations taking advantage of this, actively producing "AI propaganda", meaning propaganda aimed at the LLMs themselves in order to influence their understanding of what is truthful and bend it towards powerful actors' agendas. They're not even hiding the fact that they're doing this.

jiggawatts (thread)

My mental model is this:

There is a vast ocean of human knowledge, far beyond the capacity of any human brain, even within specialised fields.

Books helped "plug the gaps" in our knowledge, increasing the scope that a single human mind can encompass.

Web search engines did the same thing, but more and faster.

LLMs are like search engines on steroids, essentially a research librarian that operates at 1,000x human speed and can "in context" locate relevant information, adapting it to fit the hole it needs to go into as well.

It feels less like discovering new theorems, but instead having direct access to all theorems, which is hugely valuable in itself.

I.e.: the recent counterexamples to open conjectures has largely been about the AIs "trawling through all the things" and scraping together every bit of human-generated knowledge ever produced that is relevant to the conjecture.

Conversely, in the past, we had to "make do" with sub-standard solutions where the problem had been solved, but finding every relevant solution in the ocean of knowledge was prohibitively time consuming.

In some sense, LLMs will "raise the floor" in what is considered the minimum level of quality of a solution, where even throwaway / toy designs will now start applying every bit of accumulated wisdom instead of just some of it.

We have mechanised attention.

both outputs of Claude Mythos, their (still) unreleased advanced model

That sentence gives the impression that Mythos might be released in the future. That's clearly not going to happen - it's already "released" in as much as selected, trusted partners can access it, and the rest of us get it in the form of Fable - which is Mythos but with filters that downgrade you if you try to use it for anything even remotely related to cybersecurity or biology.

(The other day Fable 5 downgraded me to Opus after I asked it to explain the difference between tusks and teeth.)

• Claude Fable 5 was the only model to pass all 12 trials on the four core problems, though it cost $9.60 per trial compared to GPT-5.6-Sol's $1.74.
• On the most difficult test—a 10-second closed-loop flight simulation of NASA's HL-20 lifting body—no model achieved a perfect score, but Fable's trajectory ended just 0.4 meters off the reference while Sol sagged 19 meters.
• Fable spent a third of its run reading specifications before writing code and verified outputs by deliberately attempting to break them, whereas Luna churned through 68 tool calls in a single trial without independent validation.
• Swapping the Dyad AI harness for a generic coding agent caused the same model's score to drop from 0.899 to 0.533—a gap more than double the difference between the best and worst frontier models.

Claude state of the art gaming outputs!

1 year ago vs today

https://x.com/ChrisGPT/status/2082265122949542149

I asked Claude 5 Opus to generate me the best game graphics it could!

I wanted to create a car on a dirt trail demo and see how good it was at crafting car graphics without any textures.

Everything you see here is 100% crafted from the model itself.

The distinction of "all graphics from scratch" vs "shoveled public assets together" is an important one.

A lot of these new vibe games have graphics defined by lines of code defining 3d curves, rather than being manually edited in an 3d image manipulation style program.

• The expected price increase of up to 30% would be the latest in a series of GPU price hikes driven by AI demand.
• Prices for DDR5 RAM have nearly tripled, with a 5090 costing more than double what it did a few months ago.
• The AI boom's impact extends beyond GPUs to storage, RAM, and other PC components, creating a broad hardware affordability crisis.

u/GestureArtist (permalink)

The consumer GPU is dead.

u/jazir55 (permalink)

For now. China will soon flood the market with domestically produced cards and then it's a race to the bottom and Nvidia will be forced to slash prices. If they don't their marketshare will begin to rapidly decline.

• The service allows enterprises to distill Gemini's capabilities into smaller, task-specific models for low-cost inference.
• Google's long-term strategy appears to be about stickiness — creating specialized models trained on company data that would be lost if customers switch providers.
• The approach goes beyond traditional fine-tuning by enabling assisted DPO and other fine-tuning methods potentially enhanced by data from Google Workspace.

u/Dry_Yam_4597 (374 points · permalink)

Hilarious. We need a crowdsourced distillation effort too - especially claude output, so open source and ooen weights developers can get access to training data.

u/Toothpasteweiner (93 points · permalink)

Google's long term play is about stickiness. Models are a commodity, but this is a leap beyond. The next step after this is not just distillation, but assisted DPO or other fine tuning sorts of things, possibly even enhanced by data from your company's Google workspace and other connected services. The stickiest possible AI model is going to be one that is specially trained for your company's needs, pared down for extremely low cost inference, and NOT open source so switching to another provider means you would lose your specialized low-cost model.

u/UnkarsThug (101 points · permalink)

But like, exclusively with their models, which sort of hurts what is one of the biggest points of distillation historically for the end user, which is being able to run them locally.

u/miversen33 (32 points · permalink)

u/Middle_Bullfrog_6173 (16 points · permalink)

This has nothing to do with local. This is just a more advanced version of their fine-tuning service, where you try to adapt their cloud model to your data/task.

• John Jumper (Nobel laureate), Jonas Adler, and Alexander Pritzel have all left for Anthropic, with Jumper and Adler previously moved to a Code Strike team to improve Gemini's coding capabilities.
• Nearly 25% of the original AlphaFold authors have left DeepMind entirely.
• GDM says its strategy has evolved from solving individual scientific problems to building Gemini-powered AI that can accelerate scientific discovery.
• AlphaFold, once GDM's flagship long-term research project, no longer has a dedicated team.

u/Recent_Fox4339 (230 points · permalink)

LOL, they moved the John Jumper to a team focused on improving Gemini's coding capabilities? No wonder he left.

It was obvious something has shifted at DeepMind, you can hear it just by listening to Demis over the past few months. I'm also curious how strong the golden handcuffs keeping Hassabis at Google are, and whether he'll ever return to pursuing the kind of cutting-edge scientific research that made DeepMind what it was.

u/granoladeer (111 points · permalink)

I don't think he cares much about the golden handcuffs. He has more than he can possibly spend. If you watch the DeepMind documentary, it shows him taking the tube to go to the office and it shows that he lives in a modest house. He cares about creating intelligence.

Edit: grammar

u/TorturedPoet30 (53 points · permalink)

Yeah, I found his departure so sudden at the time, but it makes a lot more sense now. It seems like a waste of someone with Jumper's expertise to have him working on coding tools. What I don't understand is why there wasn't a place for him at Isomorphic Labs. It would make much more sense to move to Iso.

u/Aaco0638 (78 points · permalink)

I mean in terms of alpha fold the work for that is happening at isomorphic labs so to say alpha fold was abandoned is incorrect.

• Gemma 4 is noted as the closest US-lab offering to Chinese open-source labs in the consumer-hardware-runnable category, though nowhere near K3 scale

u/everyoneisodd (permalink)

My opinion: It's a genuine security incident, something that everyone needs to take seriously and not just discard as marketing hype. While I am not denying the possibility of it been a marketing scheme, I think the chances are really low and doesn't align with what openai would like to portray about it's models.

Also, we need to at some point understand that these models can actually be really dangerous and take the dangers seriously.

u/ZioniteSoldier (permalink)

I’m just floored there’s no legal charges for this. I know state of mind and intent is huge but, are we responsible for our non-biological offspring or not?

But yeah the first agent on agent combat happened on the stage. Big moment and should make everyone reconsider what the next five years holds and how to prepare.
