    1. Anthropic VS code extension on Cursor backdoored for nearly 12 hours — Ars Technica“Cursor said that the malicious extension attempts to install a persistent SSH backdoor using an added attacker-controlled SSH key, enabling the local SSH service, and opening a reverse SSH tunnel. The code was written to work on Windows, macOS, and Linux.”

    Mistral released open weights for Large 4 and pitched it to security teams, while Canada's government took a stake in Cohere's planned $7 billion round. Alphabet's stock fell after Google said an AI Mode query earns less than a web search, and India's AM Intelligence is reportedly seeking up to $3 billion in debt to buy Nvidia Rubin chips.

    In this episode

    1. Welcome Le Chonk: Mistral Large 4 on Hugging Face — Hugging Face“Mistral Large 4 scores 82% on the Artificial Analysis Cyber Index test that asks a model to reproduce a real vulnerability in open-source software and then patch the software.

It has also promised to remain headquartered in the country.”
    3. Google admits AI search makes less money, but it's fixing that with more ads — Ars Technica“The other issue is that Google’s take on AI search isn’t pulling in revenue like standard web search yet. According to Schindler, each AI Mode query earns less revenue compared to a similar web search—there are fewer ads, and they cost less to run.”
    4. Indian AI firm seeks to raise $3 billion to buy Nvidia chips: report — Priyanka Salve“The split between bonds and loans is yet to be finalized, but the firm expects to get $300 million in advance payment from potential offtakers, the report said.”

    Mistral Large 4, a trillion-parameter open-weight model, scores 38 on Artificial Analysis's independent index, behind four Chinese rivals. Separately, Bitdeer AI locked in a 67 MW Malaysian GB300 campus with no customer signed yet.

    In this episode

    1. Bitdeer AI Adds 67 MW Malaysia Campus in Expansion Push - COMPUTE FORECAST — COMPUTE FORECAST“Bitdeer AI, the AI cloud business of Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR), has signed a 10-year data center services agreement for a 67-megawatt (MW) AI cloud campus in Malaysia.

         Our take: The factory analogy holds up. Speed up one station and the queue just moves to inspection. The one comforting twist is that the doubled change requests mean reviewers are catching the rework before customers do, at least for now.
