The U.S. Department of Defense has been actively lobbying leading artificial-intelligence companies — including OpenAI and Anthropic — to allow their AI tools to be deployed on secret, classified military networks without the standard usage restrictions applied to civilian customers. The move is intended to extend the integration of advanced generative-AI systems across all levels of military operations — including the most sensitive ones.
Nvidia says that AI service providers are achieving up to a tenfold reduction in cost per token when running generative models by using the Blackwell platform together with open-source models. With this infrastructure setup, the cost of deploying AI becomes more predictable and economical, which could accelerate the adoption of AI tools across many industries.
Microsoft has released a new set of security updates for Windows 10 that fixes 58 software vulnerabilities, including six critical zero-day flaws — meaning vulnerabilities that were actively exploited in attacks before the patches became available. The update is already available, and security specialists stress that installing it as soon as possible is essential to protect computers against system takeover, privilege escalation and other cyber threats.
Ukrainian engineers have developed and tested a new laser-based counter-drone system known as Sunray, which is intended to provide an effective response to small unmanned aerial threats at a much lower cost than comparable Western systems. Work on the solution has been under way for several years and forms part of a broader wave of innovation in Ukraine’s air-defence capabilities.
