Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro is listed on Hugging Face under a custom licence. The model card describes an open-weight, natively multimodal agentic model with 2.8T total parameters and 104B activated, and calls it the company's most capable 3T-class model to date. The model page shows no absolute release date; the organisation page shows it as updated a few days before retrieval.
Two Google DeepMind working papers describe AI agents, one supervising and one executing, that reproduced a 1024-bit RSA signature-forgery computation. For the first root, the reproduction used 391 CPU core-years against 1,380 for the original computation of Shea et al. (IACR ePrint 2026/2131), about 3.5 times less CPU, on the same instance and algorithm. The papers attribute the difference to implementation and execution rather than to new algorithms. The attack assumed an unrestricted signing oracle. The papers report the run finished in under four days, with about 20 human messages, mostly approvals. A figure of about 30 times for batch factorisation is a leading-order theoretical estimate. The papers say their results do not threaten 2048-bit and larger RSA as deployed. Both papers are labelled working papers.
LG AI Research announced K-EXAONE 2.5 at NVIDIA AI Day Seoul on 9 Nov 2026. LG says it improves performance by more than 70% against the model released in August, across 24 evaluation metrics, and that its API is free from 9 Nov through its developer platform. The 70% figure comes from LG's own internal analysis. No independent evaluation was found.
GLM 5.3, a widely available open-weight model released by Z.ai in August, turned published but unshipped Firefox security fixes into working exploits for six recent releases. Each exploit also needed an unpublished bug. Visiting a page made Firefox read a local file and send it to the attacker; the authors report no code execution. The marginal cost was about $1,000 per release at API prices, out of over $100,000 in total research spend. Epoch AI reports these results.
Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology will issue a draft consultation paper on AI regulation 'in the coming weeks', after saying on October 8 that it would be released within a month. Vaishnaw said he thinks 'there is a requirement for a new law', while noting some measures have been taken under the IT Act, 2000; the final form remains unclear.
