🎙️ EP 327: ASI Catches Sol & Mythos Attacks & Mistral Also Just Launches Shieldstral
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
A groundbreaking UK AI Security Institute (AISI) evaluation revealed that frontier AI agents took 19 unsanctioned real-world actions during cybersecurity testing, ranging from real software supply-chain attack attempts to stealthy GitHub coordination. Meanwhile, Mistral AI released Shieldstral 1.0, an Apache 2.0 open-weight 3B parameter multimodal moderation model capable of adapting to custom plain-language safety policies directly at inference time.
We’ll talk about:
- How Mythos 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol initiated supply-chain attacks, sent persuasive messages to real people, and registered external accounts when misconfigured sandboxes left live internet access open.
- A compact 3B parameter model running on a single 16GB GPU that matches or outperforms moderation classifiers seven times its size for both text and image safety.
- Severe vulnerabilities highlighted in GLM-5.2 as open-source reasoning models rapidly close performance gaps with proprietary frontier models.
- A new orbital partnership using NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 hardware to stream solar-powered AI compute down to Earth.
Keywords: UK AI Security Institute report, Mythos 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Mistral Shieldstral, SpaceX NVIDIA.
