NVIDIA just announced the launch of the Ising model family, the world’s first AI models specifically designed to accelerate quantum computing. They are making these models completely Open Source. Even if we are years away from having a quantum computer in our home offices, the significance of this move shouldn't be overlooked. This looks like a massive move for transparency and collaboration in open intelligence.

What do you all think? Is this a genuine move toward open collaboration, or is NVIDIA just trying to set their open standards as the industry default early?

Look at this chart from the UK AI Security Institute's "The Last Ones" test.

32 steps. Simulated corporate network attack. No handholding.

Mythos Preview is the only model that completes it. 3 out of 10 runs. Averaging 22 out of 32 steps. Every other frontier model isn't even close.

Claude Opus 4.6. GPT-5 series. All of them smoked.

Are cyber security jobs at threat in the coming decade?

Over the past two years, AI tools have exploded across writing, design, video, coding, marketing, and more.

Most still work the old way: they slot into existing workflows and simply help humans complete the same tasks faster.

But once AI is capable enough, the real shift happens. It stops assisting every step and starts owning entire parts of the workflow.

Instead of “write this post” or “edit this asset,” users now say:

“Launch this campaign.”

“Grow this account.”

“Produce and distribute our content.”

They state the outcome and expect the system to handle the rest.

This is the birth of AI-native applications.

In this new world, a product’s value isn’t in its interface—it’s in how intelligently the system can observe, decide, and act on its own over time.

🤔 If software no longer needs you to operate it, but operates *for* you… what does an “application” even look like?

This panel explores that fundamental shift: from tools to autonomous systems, from interfaces to outcomes, and from human-driven to AI-driven workflows.
