CryptoWorld reports that two major validator clients of Solana have tested and implemented quantum-resistant signature Falcon to address future quantum threats. Falcon is considered the smallest signature scheme in the NIST standard, aiming to maintain high throughput while being deployable when necessary to counter Q-day. Anza and Firedancer stated that Falcon is suitable for high-throughput blockchains, and signatures can be verified off-chain with a simple verification process; Jump Crypto said Falcon-512 aims to minimize signature size. Both independent studies agree that being quantum-ready is essential.

As major tech companies continue to lose their top researchers, researchers are launching AI startups and raising several hundreds of millions of dollars within months. Investors are bullish on the new model architecture, saying that competition among large labs creates opportunities for small, agile companies. Ineffable Intelligence, founded by former DeepMind researcher David Silver, has completed a $1.1 billion seed round, while another former colleague, Tim Rocktäschel, is raising about $1 billion for Recursive Superintelligence.

CoinWorld News reports that more than 600 Google employees jointly wrote to CEO Sundar Pichai, urging him to reject deploying AI models onto the Pentagon’s confidential networks. The letter states that the signatories include a large number of Google DeepMind researchers and more than 20 executives. Employees are concerned that the confidential network is isolated from the public internet, and that Google cannot monitor how the models are used or implement technical safeguards. The trigger for this joint letter was a report by The Information, which said that Google is negotiating with the Pentagon to deploy Gemini in confidential environments, and that the contract allows the Pentagon “for all lawful purposes.” Google has already provided the Pentagon with Gemini through the genai.mil platform. Deputy Secretary of Defense Emil Michael said that non-confidential use is just the beginning, and that in the future it will move into confidential and top-secret levels. This is Google’s second round of large-scale protests against the militarization of AI, 2
