SciPHR has filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Our patent covers a novel decentralized key management system that eliminates the need for users and enterprises to handle private keys directly. Instead, we cryptographically

On December 12, 2025, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) conditionally approved Ripple’s application to charter a National Trust Bank. A preliminary approval requires Ripple to meet specific requirements for capital, compliance, and governance before

Hex Trust says it will issue and custody “Wrapped XRP (wXRP)”, a 1:1-backed representation of native XRP, using LayerZero’s OFT standard, with support starting on Solana (and also targeting other chains). Solana’s message (“XRP is coming to Solana”) is shorthand for: you can

GPT 5.2 was released today and is an iterative upgrade to GPT 5.1. OpenAI reports that enterprise users save 40 to 60 minutes per day, and heavy users save more than 10 hours per week. On GDPval (Knowledge work tasks), GPT 5.2 reaches 70.9 percent compared to 38.8 percent in

The Fed will announce its final rate decision for 2025 on Wednesday, with the CME Group indicating an approximately 85–90% chance of a 25-basis-point cut. Blockchain-based prediction markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, reflected even higher odds, at 97% and 96%,

Anthropic released Interviewer on December 4. It is a Claude-powered tool that conducts large-scale qualitative interviews. The system creates a plan, conducts 10- to 15-minute interviews, and groups themes for researchers to review and analyze. Anthropic tested the product on

Manufacturers are increasing the prices of Windows-based computers due to rising component costs. Dell and Lenovo have already announced price increases of up to fifteen percent, mainly caused by shortages in DRAM and NAND. Memory has become one of the most expensive components

A PlayStation 5 delivers about 10 teraflops (TFLOPS) of performance, which was top-of-the-line in terms of console gaming only a few years ago. The successor to the PS5, the PS5 Pro, was released in 2024 with ~16.7 TFLOPS of performance and the same 16 GB of unified shared

RAM prices have skyrocketed because running and training AI models require far more memory than traditional computing. Training, inference clusters, and GPU servers consume enormous amounts of DRAM and high-bandwidth memory, and suppliers are pivoting to meet that demand. It’s

Chainalysis reported a recent breach where attackers drained approximately $35 million in ~15 minutes by accessing private keys tied to an exchange’s hot wallets. They report: “Hot-wallet compromises are becoming one of the most expensive and frequent risks facing custodians

Bitcoin opened December with a drop of more than seven percent. The decline came from selling across top tokens, forced liquidations, and thin weekend liquidity that made price swings more volatile. Strategy, the largest public corporate holder of bitcoin, also moved lower after

Telegram launched Cocoon on the TON network, its high-throughput blockchain, which was initially built to support large-scale messaging and payments. Cocoon adds a confidential-compute layer that enables GPU providers to run parts of AI work that normally require access to user

Upbit is investigating this week’s $30 million breach and has discovered a flaw in its wallet implementation that exposed users to a vulnerability known as nonce bias. Nonce bias occurs when the randomness in an ECDSA signature shows patterns instead of being truly

The past year has seen exponential progress in quantum computing. Many labs, especially Google Quantum AI, have reported steady improvements in error correction, stability, and the reliability of quantum algorithms. With Willow’s breakthroughs in 2024 and 2025, the pace is

Building innovative solutions takes more than code. It requires capital and conviction. We're thankful to the partners who provided both this year. We're also fortunate to be building in 2025, when the gap between an idea and its execution has never been smaller. The cost of

New on the Anthropic Engineering Blog: Long-running AI agents still face challenges working across many context windows. We looked to human engineers for inspiration in creating a more effective agent harness.

The Genesis Mission Executive Order, signed this week, designates the Department of Energy as the primary operator of high-performance AI. This is akin to the "Manhattan Project" model but applied to computing. The government is consolidating federal processing capacity into a

The ratio of non-human identities to human employees in an enterprise is nearly 45 to 1. Service accounts and agents are growing faster than security teams can handle. Most organizations manage this access with static API keys, which is essentially password sharing for software

Anthropic released Opus 4.5 today, and one of the notable takeaways is the resistance to prompt injection. In Anthropic’s published tests, Opus 4.5 had the lowest attack success rate across major thinking models. Prompt-injection is one of the biggest practical issues for

You can get an m4 macbook for $750 There’s no good reason to buy any other laptop
