Ex-DeepMind researcher Thore Graepel raising funds for AI reasoning startup

Gambit says a Chinese-speaking threat actor used three AI harnesses — Strix, Cairn, and Hermes — to automate vulnerability research, exploitation, and orchestration since July. Between Sept 10-15, 105 attack projects hit at least 27 companies; over 600,000 unexpired credit cards were stolen from two victims.

Engineering teams need production-like data to validate AI-generated changes, train models, and test applications, but privacy initiatives limit access to it. The piece frames protected-yet-useful data as the emerging bottleneck for enterprise AI.

Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora called pausing AI development 'unrealistic' and put the human-extinction threat at 'extremely small'. His position aligns with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and diverges from the bosses of Anthropic and OpenAI.
