Bible Verses of the Day

21 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” [Matthew 21:21-22, ESV]

What's in this week's issue?

• 🪖 OpenAI will offer its tech to US national labs for nuclear weapons research

DeepSeek took the U.S. by storm this week: the Chinese company’s chatbot rose to the top of the Apple and Play stores, while major U.S. cloud providers like Microsoft began offering it on their platforms.

But “hundreds” of companies – especially ones with ties to government – have blocked the service, Bloomberg reported based on interviews with executives from cybersecurity firms Armis and Netskope. “The biggest concern is the AI model’s potential data leakage to the Chinese government,” Armis’ CTO Nadir Izrael said.

OpenAI says it plans to let U.S. National Laboratories, the Department of Energy’s network of R&D labs, use its AI models for nuclear weapons security and other scientific projects.

Per CNBC, OpenAI will work with Microsoft, its lead investor, to deploy a model on the supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The model will be a shared resource for scientists from Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Sandia National Labs, OpenAI says. It will be applied across a number of research programs.
