OpenAI says one of its internal reasoning models helped disprove an 80-year-old math conjecture related to the unit distance problem by Paul Erdős.

What makes this interesting is that the model was apparently not trained specifically for mathematics. It was a general-purpose reasoning model.

That’s why some people are calling this an early glimpse of “Level 4 AGI.”

We’re now moving from AI that only chats and generates content to AI potentially helping with real research problems that humans struggled with for decades.

Still too early to call it AGI, but this definitely feels like a notable step forward.

What do you think? Overhyped or genuinely important?

Quant Mutual Fund seems to be making a pretty sharp comeback lately.

Their Quant Flexi Cap Fund is now up more than 7% over the last 1 year, while during the same period both HDFC Flexi Cap and PPFAS Flexi Cap are still in negative territory.

A few months back, a lot of people were writing off quant because of the underperformance, high volatility, and all the noise around the AMC. But in the last month especially, the recovery has been quite noticeable.

Do you think quant Mutual Fund is genuinely making a comeback?
Or is this just a temporary bounce due to current market conditions?

Sky Gold management said the recent DGFT notification and additional compliance measures will have no impact on the company’s operations or outlook.

The update also mentions the increase in customs duty on gold imports from 6% to 15%, but management believes listed jewellery players, especially smaller manufacturers like Sky Gold, won’t see any major impact.

Another important point is that the company does not operate under the Advance Authorisation framework for duty-free gold imports, so these new rules don’t directly affect them.

Management has clearly reiterated:

• No change in guidance
• No change in outlook
• Operations continue as usual

Overall, this looks like a positive clarification from the company.

Still, it makes sense to keep tracking upcoming quarterly numbers and management commentary to see if anything changes on the ground.

Apple spent years building a hardware-level memory protection system called MIE for the new M5 chips, specifically to stop memory corruption exploits.

According to researchers, Mythos Preview just found the first public macOS kernel memory corruption exploit on Apple’s M5 silicon anyway.

What’s wild is the timeline.

Apple reportedly spent 5 years and billions of dollars developing MIE around ARM’s Memory Tagging Extension (MTE). It was supposed to shut down an entire class of exploits that have historically been used against iPhones and Macs.

Researchers from Calif apparently built a working exploit in just 5 days using Mythos.

Apple’s own internal research reportedly claimed MIE disrupted every known public exploit chain, including leaked exploit kits like Coruna and Darksword.

The researchers then walked into Apple Park and handed Apple a 55-page report in person.

The full report is supposed to be released after Apple patches the vulnerability.

Feels like we’re entering a phase where AI systems are accelerating offensive security research way faster than companies can adapt.

A guy was locked out of ~5 BTC for 11 years.

As a last ditch effort, he dumped his old college computer data into Claude.

Claude apparently found the old wallet file and helped recover access to the Bitcoin.

Imagine forgetting about something for over a decade, then an AI assistant casually finds it sitting somewhere in an ancient hard drive.

We’re entering a really weird era of tech.
