Unsolved Problem by Fields Medalist Breached by Two High School Students
Two high school students used Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol to help solve an open Lorentzian polynomials problem, posting a 75-page arXiv proof.
Aayush Bathija and Prince Rohatgi of Oak Park High School, mentored by UCLA postdoc Daniel Soskin, published the 75-page paper 'Bounded Ratios for Lorentzian Polynomials' (arXiv 2609.05341), solving an open problem in Fields Medalist June Huh's Lorentzian polynomial theory. The main structural theorem extends bounded coefficient-ratio characterization from quadratic to arbitrary-degree polynomials via discrete convexity conditions. The students used Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol for exploration and proof ideas but independently verified all arguments; the result follows an open letter from 25 Fields Medalists voicing concerns about AI's impact on mathematical rigor.
Security Affairs newsletter Round 594 by Pierluigi Paganini – INTERNATIONAL EDITION
Weekly Security Affairs newsletter aggregates top stories including Cisco FMC exploitation, Qilin ransomware, Chrome zero-days, and Berlin leak.
Pierluigi Paganini's Security Affairs newsletter Round 594 (International Edition) rounds up the week's security headlines. Topics include attackers exploiting a critical Cisco FMC flaw to deploy Qilin ransomware, SonicWall mass exploitation linked to a UK council attack, multiple CISA KEV additions, Chrome zero-days used by four nation-state actors, a $320 million Liquid Network theft, and a Berlin ransomware data leak. It also covers AI security items such as agent sandbox failures and distillation campaigns by Chinese AI firms.
Don't Trust the Super-App: A Case Study of Russia's Max
Researchers show super-apps like Russia's Max can silently capture mini-app UI, storage, network traffic, and authentication, enabling untraceable user impersonation.
The paper challenges the assumption that super-apps are trusted intermediaries, citing WeChat's passive cross-mini-app tracking, Russia's Max's entanglement with state prosecution of online speech, and Iran's Bale operating during a prolonged internet shutdown. Using Max as a case study, the authors demonstrate that a super-app can capture mini-app UI, read and write mini-app local storage, inject arbitrary JavaScript into mini-app runtimes, mediate network traffic, and control authentication context, enabling silent user impersonation without trace. They argue these capabilities are inherent to the super-app architecture and call for mobile OS and app store interventions to close the blind spot.
WarmBloodAban/Minimax-h3_Singularity — new model trending #22 on Hugging Face
Community fine-tune Minimax-h3_Singularity enhances MiniMax-H3 video generation with HDR quality, distant face restoration, and improved motion, trending #22 on Hugging Face.
Minimax-h3_Singularity is a community fusion fine-tune of the MiniMax-H3 multimodal video generation model, built from multiple checkpoints and refined with pruning and weight optimization. It supports Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Reference-to-Video, and Video-to-Video workflows in ComfyUI, and claims improvements in HDR clarity, distant face restoration, motion fluidity, and fantasy VFX. The authors recommend pairing it with the minimax_h3_ref2v_turbo_4step_v0.1 LoRA for four-step accelerated inference, and an online demo is available via RunningHub.
