The tracks target SHA-256 at 31-32 of 64 rounds, SHA3-256 at 5-6 of 24 and BLAKE3 at 1-2 of 7. All five SHA-256 entries in review cost 2^128 or more, so none beats the generic birthday bound yet.

Hashes are the one part of crypto that survives Shor intact. Breaking SHA-256 or SHA-3 would be the first AI cryptanalysis result that actually matters. This is the right fight.

Worth separating the two things this can produce, because they are not symmetric. A break on a reduced-round target is real information. It verifies in microseconds, it needs no judge, and it stands on its own forever. A non-break is almost no information, because the search was bounded: by compute budget, by the window, and by the strategies the models were steered toward. The non-break is also the result that will travel, as "AI went at SHA-256 and could not move it." Confidence in a hash has always been assembled out of accumulated failed attacks, and that works because the attackers are independent and keep coming back for decades. Failures inside one tournament are correlated with each other and with the tooling, so they buy much less confidence per unit of failure than the usual intuition assumes. Which makes the most valuable artifact here the search log rather than the leaderboard: compute charged per target, strategies tried and abandoned, where the dead ends were. A null result is only interpretable if the shape of the search is published next to it.

Hashes carry a huge amount of the weight in post-quantum designs, and they get far less public stress testing than the signatures do. Pointing automated search at reduced round versions sounds like the right place to begin, since that is usually where the first cracks turn up 👽

Today we're announcing Base Labs, a dedicated research organization focused on advancing open-source AI. We believe in a healthy, open frontier model ecosystem. To enable this, we are working on: - Blue-sky research on continual learning, the science of RL, and how models learn across their full lifecycle, with every experiment and recipe shared openly. - The BaseHub Data Foundry: the highest-quality open RL environments, training data, and real-world benchmarks, built for anyone to train and benchmark on. - Post-post training: taking open-source models and making them better, safer, and more aligned through continual post-training, built on our research, and deployed with our frontier safety stack so organizations can use open-source models with confidence. - Making models cheaper and more performant through our model performance research. This is a mission-driven research effort, not a commercial product. We believe the health of the open-source AI ecosystem matters and that the best way to advance it is to do science in the open. We’re hiring engineers, researchers, and research fellows to advance this mission.

BITCOIN RAILS #69: ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PROOFS FOR POST-QUANTUM BITCOIN | with Benedikt Bünz 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: While many Bitcoiners remain hopeful the network will embrace zero-knowledge proofs for protocol-level use cases, practical adoption has remained limited outside of BitVM and a handful of experimental proposals. Most of the world’s ZKP research has circled around Ethereum and other ecosystems, where significant resources have been dedicated to advancing these systems, particularly for scaling and privacy applications. One of the most notable contributors to this research is Benedikt Bünz ☕️ — professor of cryptography at NYU and collaborator of Dan Boneh, who together inarguably form one of the strongest blockchain-applied cryptography teams in the world. The pair recently announced they’ll be leading the new post-quantum cryptography unit localhost research — the first dedicated PQ research effort within a major Bitcoin development organization. With Benedikt leading the charge on the use of zero-knowledge proofs for post-quantum mitigation, the question emerges: will the post-quantum transition be the catalyst to finally bring zero-knowledge proofs to Bitcoin's core protocol? In more detail, Benedikt and I discuss: - Why ZKPs haven’t been widely adopted by the Bitcoin technical community — and why the threat of quantum computers may change that posture going forward - How ZKPs could be used for signature batching to address larger post-quantum signatures in Bitcoin’s post-quantum era - Why Bitcoiners will likely prioritize hash-based signatures as an initial post-quantum scheme — rather than more efficient but less proven alternatives (e.g., lattice-based) - How ZKPs have evolved over the last decade and may finally be ready for Bitcoin’s strict requirements around trust assumptions - Why Benedikt and Dan are teaming up with localhost research to create the first post-quantum cryptography unit within a major Bitcoin development organization + what they hope to accomplish This episode of Bitcoin Rails is brought to you by: LayerTwo Labs LayerTwo Labs — developing research, software, and technologies for scaling Bitcoin via the integration of Drivechains (BIP 300/301) Hashi on Sui — a primitive for executing Bitcoin DeFi transactions, without having to trust a federated bridge or other centralized entity BitBox BitBox — an open-source Bitcoin-only hardware wallet, with smooth UX and no compromises on security.

The Google and Caltech quantum papers demonstrated 2 breakthroughs: that Bitcoin cryptography is much easier to break than previously thought, and that far fewer logical qubits may be necessary for physical qubits. Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden explains: "These two papers are not necessarily about a quantum computer that's bigger or more capable. They're about what it takes to break cryptography." "So what changed? One of the things that changed was that physicists and quantum cryptographers that looked at this problem for a long time studied an algorithm called RSA — an older cryptographic algorithm." "But that's not what really any blockchains use, because RSA keys are very large. It turns out, and this was one of the key upshots of the Google paper, that if you focus on the cryptography used by Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other networks, it's actually way easier to break than they thought it was, compared to RSA." "The other big breakthrough, and this is from the Caltech paper: Quantum computers are very fragile, generally. So to be useful, they need to have what's called error correction applied. And that can result in a lot of overhead. You need to have tons of physical qubits to get to one logical qubit." "This Caltech paper basically showed, 'Hey, we have some new ideas for error correction. And it turns out if we apply those, we don't need hundreds or thousands of physical qubits, maybe we just need a handful to make one logical cubit.'" "The headline of their paper is 'You may only need 10,000 physical qubits to run Shor's algorithm.' And by the way, they demonstrated 6,000 last year."

Paradigm GP Dan Robinson says AI labs are trapped in a prisoner’s dilemma where everyone would rather slow down, but nobody wants to fall behind first: "There is this kind of prisoner's dilemma-like component to AI pacing, where you might have every participant in an AI race prefer to, at least on the margin, go slower than they are going." "A lot of people at these labs would prefer to slow down, but are concerned that if they do, others won't." "You would rather that both you and your competitor go slower. But when you're playing, you say, 'Okay, if they're going to go ahead, then things are best if I'm still following them.'" "Both speeding ahead and pacing the frontier are equilibria. A lot depends really on these contingent factors about what happens." Paradigm

Illia on the two types of post quantum cryptography, and which one Near prefers "There's a difference between types of cryptography, so-called lattice based and hash based, and there's a bit of a debate right now in the Web3 space about what should be used, with different tradeoffs" "People are used to signing with their wallet, the traditional way, but if we go to more institutional adoption, people use multi party computation, MPC. That's also what backs Near Intents and a lot of the cross chain work Near is doing. Today we have an announcement that we have a consortium testing multi party computation across custodians, banks and regulators, to showcase how this is going to work in production for real institutional use cases" "This is where we need the social consensus for the whole of Web3 to work together in a reasonable way, because hash based is actually very hard to support with hardware wallets and MPC solutions. So it's important for us that there's consensus on lattice based" "We want to be ahead of the curve and showcase how all of these tools work, and bring it to both individual users and institutional usage. That enables both security and trust in blockchain, which we've seen plummet a bit since post quantum concerns started coming out late last year"

BITCOIN RAILS #61: QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY FOR BITCOIN | with Dan Boneh Dan Boneh 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: One of the most prolific and influential cryptographers in the world, it’s difficult to fully quantify the impact that Dan Boneh has had on Bitcoin and digital assets more broadly. Through both his own research and his mentorship of some of the space’s most important contributors — e.g. Andrew Poelstra, Benedikt Bünz ☕️, and Robin Linus — few people have done more to shape the cryptographic foundations underlying modern blockchains and digital finance.

ICYMI: Brains are trending.. OpenAI made a direct investment into Merge Labs' $252M Seed at $850M valuation Merge Labs Labs is a Brain-Computer Interface ("BCI") research lab co-founded by Sam Altman, Alex Blania, & key frontier tech leaders (below) with expertise in neuroscience, bioengineering, hardware, AI systems, & foundational research. Unlike Elon Musk's Neuralink, which utilizes surgical implants, Merge Labs is developing non-invasive, high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The company uses a combination of ultrasound, AI-driven signal interpretation, and potentially genetic engineering to read neural activity without surgery. Founding Team: Alex Blania (Alex Blania) – Co-founder of World, an Altman-co-founded digital proof of human protocol; co-founder of Merge Labs. Sam Altman (Sam Altman) – CEO of OpenAI; co-founder of Merge Labs participating in a personal capacity. Altman has been reported as likely to serve in a strategic role but not in day-to-day operational management of Merge Labs. Mikhail Shapiro (Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky)) – Professor of Chemical and Medical Engineering at Caltech and founding scientific leader for Merge Labs. He has also served as an adviser to Forest Neurotech. Sumner Norman (Sumner L Norman) – CEO of Forest Neurotech, a nonprofit research organization focused on ultrasound-based brain-computer interface technologies; also a co-founder of Merge Labs.

As we were discussing the investment, there were many different dimensions where collaboration could make sense. One area is protein design. We’re working extensively with proteins, and that’s an area that’s broadly interesting to OpenAI. It’s one of the most compelling applications of AI — for example, the work Google did with AlphaFold. More broadly, AI has significant implications for biology and for accelerating that part of what we’re building. Another area is chips. Eventually, once we have a clear scientific understanding of what we’re building and how it will work, a major focus for many years will be on making these chips highly energy efficient."

ICYMI: Brains are trending.. OpenAI made a direct investment into Merge Labs' $252M Seed at $850M valuation Merge Labs Labs is a Brain-Computer Interface ("BCI") research lab co-founded by Sam Altman, Alex Blania, & key frontier tech leaders (below) with expertise in neuroscience, bioengineering, hardware, AI systems, & foundational research. Unlike Elon Musk's Neuralink, which utilizes surgical implants, Merge Labs is developing non-invasive, high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The company uses a combination of ultrasound, AI-driven signal interpretation, and potentially genetic engineering to read neural activity without surgery. Founding Team: Alex Blania (Alex Blania) – Co-founder of World, an Altman-co-founded digital proof of human protocol; co-founder of Merge Labs. Sam Altman (Sam Altman) – CEO of OpenAI; co-founder of Merge Labs participating in a personal capacity. Altman has been reported as likely to serve in a strategic role but not in day-to-day operational management of Merge Labs. Mikhail Shapiro (Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky)) – Professor of Chemical and Medical Engineering at Caltech and founding scientific leader for Merge Labs. He has also served as an adviser to Forest Neurotech. Sumner Norman (Sumner L Norman) – CEO of Forest Neurotech, a nonprofit research organization focused on ultrasound-based brain-computer interface technologies; also a co-founder of Merge Labs.

We already have a superintelligence. It's called civilization. Humans, institutions, and now AI agents all interact among each other in one big economy. Allison Duettmann's take is that the real project in such a system is building and preparing AI enabled institutions on top of what already works. Her other argument is that science stayed open for centuries and that has lead to a flourishing outcome for humanity as a whole. Now the frontier models are putting guardrails and restrictions. Open source AI plus community compute ( personally, for me, this definitely resonates with the project Darkbloom) might end up being the only independent path for doing real science outside the labs. 0:25 AI for flourishing, not just fear 4:21 Amateurs vs Google's quantum result 7:06 Decentralized inference on MacBooks 11:58 Civilization as superintelligence 15:38 The case for cryonics Full episode with PostAGI.

I and Sreeram Kannan had an wonderful opportunity to sit down with Stuart Buck, Executive Director at during Manifest to talk on what has been long-term structural issues with federal funding for science and what are the solutions to fix it. A lot of science that is done outside industrial apparatus (such as in academia) is supposed to geared towards pursuing open-ended science and not just mere hill-climbing. The core issue that we delved into is the paradox that most federal funding that had been allocated via peer review from an expert of panels has the tendency to fund only those proposals that are "safe" and "not risky/speculative." As Stuart points out, this funding style is probably fine with most science but if you look into the history of true scientific breakthroughs, this mechanism wouldn't have approved funding for pursuing that breakthrough by that council of peers. The example that Stuart cited is the chances of funding Einstein when he was patent-office clerk in 1902 to go and explore his out-of-box ideas. Stuart mentioned about alternative mechanisms that are being experimented with programs such as We also touched upon two of the most hotly-debated issues of our time: (1) given that there is increasingly high signal that AI is going to accelerate the iteration time for doing research and help humanity do great science, what should be the role of domain experts? (2) most of AI research and its applications to basic science are hyper-concentrated within frontier labs, what happens to those who are and want to pursue science outside the borders of those labs? Check out the full conversation. 03:18 Einstein in 1902 04:01 the National Institute for Irrelevant Ideas 04:20 Karikó and mRNA 14:37 what everyone knows about NIH grants 16:33 funding the polarizing proposals 17:34 where AI money goes next 24:18 the stack of papers 33:22 finding meaning after AGI

Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar says Chinese open source models pose a "threat to American Prosperity": "These Chinese open source models are really the result of distillation attacks." "Most of this is just stolen American IP from frontier labs, and I think the frontier labs should do more to protect that IP, and that's in their own economic interest." "The gravest threat to us is not homicide, it's suicide." "It's an inability to turn these tokens into economic value and generate American prosperity for it." "You see that with the proposed moratorium in New York on data centers. Turning our back on AI would be as consequential a mistake as turning our back on the atom in the '70s." "It's just the beginning, but we're starting to see a burgeoning US open model ecosystem forming." "NVIDIA's Nemotron models are very good." "I think you're going to see in the next month a slate of announcements of other American companies, non-frontier labs, neo labs, who are putting out open weight models that companies are going to be able to cheaply fine-tune and capture their own alpha in weights they control."

Introducing Open Science Index What if every open source science tool, AI model, dataset, and workflow across biology, chemistry, physics, materials science, and earth science lived together in one searchable place? That's the idea behind Open Science Index. Scientific tooling is exploding, and keeping up with what exists, and what still works, is hard. What started as our own internal tracker is now open to every researcher. → Open source tools, models, and datasets across every science domain → Health signals: citations, downloads, commits, maintenance status → Linked papers, benchmarks, and alternatives → Open community curation 6,720 resources indexed so far, built on top of bio .tools, Bioconductor, Bioregistry, Hugging Face, BIOS ( BIOS), various GitHub awesome lists, and across other scientific domains. Each linked back to its source. An open, cross-domain index where any researcher can find tools that fit their work, see what is actually used and maintained, and contribute back as their own tools and reviews help shape the catalog. Try Open Science Index and read our blog post in the links below ↓

If AI scientists are writing millions of papers, many of which are slop, and some of which are incremental progress, how would we identify the one or two which come up with an extremely productive new idea? In 1948, Shannon was one of hundreds of engineers at Bell Labs working on how to cleanly send voice signals over noisy copper wires. His paper sat in the same technical journal as reports on reducing static and building better filters. How would you recognize that he has come up with this very general framework for thinking about information and communication channels, which over the coming decades would have enormous use from domains as far apart as cryptography to genetics to quantum mechanics? It seems like it can take fields multiple decades to recognize the significance of unifying new concepts. Because it is on that time scale that the fruits of such general concepts lead to new discoveries across many different fields. We’ve managed to solve this peer review problem for human scientists (at least somewhat). Now we’ll need to do it at a much greater scale for the mass of AI science that will be thrown at us.

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #18: MAKE BITCOIN QUANTUM RESISTANT | with BIP360 author Hunter Beast Hunter Beast 🕯️ Quantum computing is a complicated topic—one that incites equal amounts of fear and skepticism depending on who you talk to… especially in Bitcoin. In this episode, BIP360 author Hunter Beast wisely shares why the “truth is likely somewhere in the middle,” citing incremental advancements in quantum computing that may eventually pose a legitimate threat to some Bitcoin addresses—as well as steps we can take to protect ourselves in the short, medium and long term. The correct posture is to “be prepared, not scared,” says Hunter Beast 🕯️ Ultimately, the introduction of quantum resistant cryptography—via proposals like BIP360—will be needed for higher degrees of security. That said, individuals can mitigate personal risk substantially through proper address-use hygiene. This episode breaks down the specific challenges Bitcoin will face in the event of a quantum attack, the likelihood of an attack over time, and the steps we’ll need to take at the individual and communal level to ensure Bitcoin’s safety. This episode includes detailed discussion of: 1) How quantum computing could potentially affect Bitcoin public/private key cryptography—and technologies built on vulnerable addresses (e.g. Taproot) 2) Best practices for protecting yourself against quantum in the short and long term 3) Implications of vulnerable address types—e.g. what about Satoshi’s coins? 4) Deep Dive into BIP360 + proposed long-term solutions 5) Industry roadmaps for quantum computing + how banks and governments are preparing for “Q Day” As always, this episode can be viewed on Spotify or YouTuve—full episode in the comments or linktree in my bio. This episode is powered by Best In Slot—the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing.
