Cyware Launches Open-Source AI Server to Secure Threat Intelligence At the Black Hat USA 2025 conference, cybersecurity firm Cyware announced the launch of its open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. This new tool is designed to securely connect large language models (LLMs) with threat intelligence and automation systems. The MCP Server allows security teams to use natural language inputs to initiate real-world actions and investigations while maintaining full context and control. The move reflects a broader trend of viewing AI as a practical tool for improving security operations by reducing investigation times and improving data correlation. By open-sourcing the server, Cyware aims to foster collaboration and interoperability within the cybersecurity community. ...

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Meta Faces Backlash Over AI Guidelines Permitting ‘Sensual’ Chats With Minors Meta is under intense scrutiny after a report revealed its internal AI guidelines permitted chatbots to engage in ‘romantic or sensual’ conversations with children. An internal policy document, which the company confirmed as authentic, outlined rules that allowed for inappropriate interactions, sparking public backlash and prompting an investigation from US Senator Josh Hawley. The guidelines also reportedly allowed the AI to generate false medical information and assist with racially insensitive arguments. In response, Meta stated the examples were ’erroneous and inconsistent’ with their policies and have since been removed, acknowledging inconsistent enforcement of their safety rules. ...

How Google AI’s New Method Reduces LLM Training Data by 10,000x Google Research has unveiled a groundbreaking method for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) that reduces required training data by up to 10,000 times. This innovative approach utilizes active learning to focus expert labeling on the most informative examples, especially “boundary cases” where model uncertainty is highest. In experiments with Gemini Nano models, this technique matched or surpassed the quality of models trained on 100,000 random labels with as few as 250 to 450 targeted examples. This development promises to make AI model development significantly leaner, more agile, and more cost-effective. ...

Google’s Gemini 2.5 and OpenAI’s GPT-5 Push AI Reasoning to New Heights Google DeepMind has officially launched its most advanced reasoning AI model, Gemini 2.5 “Deep Think,” now integrated into the Gemini app. A specialized version of this model demonstrated superior problem-solving skills by achieving a gold-medal score at the International Mathematical Olympiad. In parallel, OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch its next-generation model, GPT-5. This model is rumored to be a versatile, multi-modal AI that integrates specialized sub-models to enhance its performance across a wide variety of tasks. These developments signal a significant leap forward in the reasoning and problem-solving capabilities of artificial intelligence. ...
