- Claude explains the NIST ECDSA curve seeds — a 1990s clock-seeded generator
Anthropic's Frontier Red Team says an internal research model found that the seeds behind NIST curves P-192 to P-521 came from lrand48 seeded with a Unix timestamp, not from a hash. Anthropic says this is not a break of ECDSA.
- Claude Mythos 5 designs quantum circuits — beats the best published on eight tasks
Anthropic and Harvard researchers ran Claude Mythos 5 in a closed loop with an automated checker to design quantum circuits. Its designs beat the best published circuits on all eight tasks, from chemistry to number theory.
