China’s cybersecurity industry needs its own Mythos model, 360 founder warns

Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Security Technology, emphasized that China must develop its own equivalent to Anthropic's Mythos model to counter cybersecurity risks from the AI era. Released in April, Mythos can autonomously identify software vulnerabilities, accelerating discovery by a hundredfold and significantly reducing costs. Zhou described the US technology as a "cyber nuclear weapon," highlighting the substantial threat it poses. This dramatic shift in vulnerability management necessitates a swift response from China to secure its digital infrastructure against emerging threats.

OpenAI's Codex can now watch you work once and repeat the task forever

OpenAI has launched the "record and replay" feature for its Codex application on macOS, allowing users to view a workflow once, which Codex then converts into a reusable "skill." This new feature enables Codex to automatically repeat tasks after observing them once, enhancing user efficiency in executing repetitive operations. However, the feature is not yet available in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. This development is significant for improving user experience and work efficiency, despite current geographical restrictions.
