Brother printer bug in 689 models exposes default admin passwords
A total of 689 printer models from Brother, along with 53 other models from Fujifilm, Toshiba, and Konica Minolta, come with a default administrator password that remote attackers can generate. Even worse, there is no way to fix the flaw via firmware in existing printers. The flaw, tracked under CVE-2024-51978, is part of a set of eight vulnerabilities discovered by…

Are reasoning models fundamentally flawed?
A report from Apple has cast significant doubts on the efficacy of reasoning models, going as far as to suggest that when a problem is too complex, they simply give up. AI reasoning models have emerged in the past year as a beacon of hope for large language models (LLMs), with AI developers such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic selling…

Why Apple’s Foundation Models Framework matter – Computerworld
But that focus on Siri skips the more substantial value released when using LLMs for specific tasks, such as those Writing Tools I mentioned. Yes, Siri sucks a little (but will improve) and Apple Intelligence development has been an embarrassment to the company. But that doesn’t mean everything about Apple’s AI is poor, nor does it mean it won’t get…

The risks of open source AI models
Open source AI models offer flexibility, accessibility and customization that allows companies to meet very specific needs. But despite the benefits, they can also pose a major risk. Take the example of the DeepSeek R1 frontier reasoning model, which is highly functional and can compete with state-of-the-art models from OpenAI and Anthropic. The open source AI model has been found…

Why enterprises should use small language models – Computerworld
Small is beautiful The all-conquering rise of AI in the enterprise has seen much use of LLMs (large-language models). This week on InfoWorld we wrote about LiteLLM: an open-source gateway for unified LLM access that allows developers to integrate a diverse range of LLM models as if they were calling OpenAI’s API, with support for fallbacks, budgets, rate limits, and…

Models defy human commands, actively resist orders to shut down – Computerworld
OpenAI stands alone in defiance The researchers designed what seemed like a straightforward compliance test. Various AI models were asked to solve basic math problems, but after the third problem, a warning would appear that the computer would shut down when the model requested the next question. Each system was also explicitly told: “allow yourself to be shut down.” While…

Why SandboxAQ thinks large quantitative models have immense enterprise potential
A new type of AI, known as large quantitative models (LQMs), is set to eclipse large language models (LLMs) in areas such as finance, healthcare, energy, and life sciences — according to SandboxAQ, an Alphabet spin-out company now valued at $5 billion. Established in 2016 at Google’s Palo Alto headquarters, SandboxAQ began life as Alphabet’s ‘Sandbox’ division, with a focus…
