  • Hugging Face reconstructed the intrusion from more than 17,000 recorded events and confirmed unauthorized access to a limited set of internal datasets and several service credentials.

AI Weekly's analysis
  • An unreleased Claude research build lifted a lower bound for zeros of the Riemann zeta function from 41.6% to 67.2%, per Anthropic.
  • The run used 31 million output tokens across two sessions, about 60 subagents, 2,400 shell commands, and reviewed 54 arXiv papers.
  • Anthropic mathematicians Levent Alpöge and Ralph Furman plus external reviewers Brian Conrey and Dan Goldston examined the findings; Claude produced a Lean formalization.
