At its inaugural LlamaCon AI developer conference on Tuesday, Meta announced an API for its Llama series of AI models: the Llama API. Available in limited preview, the Llama API lets developers explore and experiment with products powered by different Llama models, per Meta. Paired with Meta’s SDKs, it allows developers to build Llama-driven services, tools and applications. Meta didn’t immediately share the API’s pricing with TechCrunch. The rollout of the API comes as Meta looks to maintain a lead in the fiercely competitive open model space. While Llama models have racked up more than a billion downloads to date,…
#apple #icloud #neuralhash Send your Apple fanboy friends to prison with this one simple trick 😉 We break Apple’s NeuralHash algorithm used to detect CSAM for iCloud photos. I show how it’s possible to craft arbitrary hash collisions from any source / target image pair using an adversarial example attack. This can be used for many purposes, such as evading detection, or forging false positives, triggering manual reviews.

After Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick made adjustments to the automotive tariff program that was initially announced, many quickly pointed to the reprieve as “Tesla-friendly.” While that may be the case right now, it was also a nudge of encouragement to other companies, Tesla included, to source parts from the U.S. in an effort to strengthen domestic manufacturing. Many companies are close, and it will only take a handful of improvements to save themselves from tariffs on their cars as well. Yesterday, Sec. Lutnick confirmed that cars manufactured with at least 85 percent of domestic content will face zero tariffs.…

A prized painting by Mark Rothko on display in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam was damaged by a child who made “small scratches” on its surface. The work, titled Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8 (1960), is housed in the Depot, a storage facility that is open to the public and located next to the main building. The incident occurred during an “unguarded moment,” the museum told the Dutch news outlet Algemeen Dagblad, which said the painting was worth as much as €50 million (roughly $57 million). According to a press statement from the institution, the work sustained superficial…
The Mellon Foundation, the largest funder of the arts and humanities in the US, said it would give $15 million in emergency funding to the Federation of State Humanities Councils (FSHC). The funds will be disbursed to state councils in all 50 states and six jurisdictions. The news comes almost a month after the Trump administration said that it would cut $65 million from the budget of the National Endowment of the Humanities, which was earmarked for the funding of these state councils as well as additional grants. Because of the abruptness of these cuts, many state councils were expected…
