RFC 9980 Post-Quantum Cryptography in OpenPGP

RFC 9980 defines a framework for integrating post-quantum cryptography into OpenPGP, specifying new algorithms, key formats, and protocol extensions to protect against future quantum-computer-based attacks. It updates the OpenPGP message format to support quantum-resistant cryptographic schemes.

Background

- **OpenPGP** is the encryption standard (RFC 4880) behind tools like GnuPG (GPG) and many email/cryptography services. Widely used for signing, encrypting, and verifying digital communications. - **Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)** refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to be secure against attacks from future large-scale quantum computers, which could break current widely-used algorithms (like RSA, DLP-based ECC). - **RFC 9980** is an informational document from the IETF that explores how to introduce PQC algorithms into the OpenPGP protocol. It discusses new key formats, signature schemes, and hybrid approaches (combining traditional and PQC algorithms) to enable a gradual transition. - This matters because OpenPGP is a foundational security layer in many systems; updating it for the quantum era is a significant practical challenge, and RFC 9980 maps out the design space for the community.

Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.
Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5

The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.

Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.

Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.

Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
