Because Western AI labs won’t—or can’t—anymore. As OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google face mounting pressure to restrict their most powerful models, Chinese developers have filled the open-source void with AI explicitly built for what operators need: powerful models that run on commodity hardware. A new security study reveals just how thoroughly Chinese AI has captured this space. Research published by SentinelOne […]

Researchers from Microsoft have unveiled a scanning method to identify poisoned models without knowing the trigger or intended outcome. Organisations integrating open-weight large language models (LLMs) face a specific supply chain vulnerability where distinct memory leaks and internal attention patterns expose hidden threats known as “sleeper agents”. These poisoned models contain backdoors that lie dormant

For the past year, we’ve been told that artificial intelligence is revolutionising productivity—helping us write emails, generate code, and summarise documents. But what if the reality of how people actually use AI is completely different from what we’ve been led to believe? A data-driven study by OpenRouter has just pulled back the curtain on real-world AI usage by analysing over 100
