Critical Security Flaw in iTerm2 Terminal Emulator Exposes SSH Data

A critical security flaw in iTerm2, a popular macOS terminal emulator, was found and fixed. Sensitive user data may have been exposed during SSH sessions due to the problem, which affected beta releases from 3.5.6 onwards and versions 3.5.6 to 3.5.10. The problem was caused by a defect in the SSH integration feature, which recorded user input and output to a file that other users could read on the remote system. In version 3.5.11, the incorrect logging code was removed, and developer George Nachman expressed regret. To reduce the risk of data exposure, users using SSH integration in any of the impacted versions are encouraged to update right away to version 3.5.11 and remove the susceptible log file from remote hosts.

OpenAI Unveils o3 AI Models with Breakthrough Reasoning Capabilities

The reasoningbased o3 AI models, which OpenAI unveiled, exhibit notable advancements over their predecessors. At 85% on the ARCAGI benchmark, the o3 model matched average human performance and outperformed the prior best by 30%. This does not, however, indicate that AGI or intellect is comparable to that of humans. Since OpenAI allegedly focuses on building GPT5, the o3 model most likely earned its high score through optimisation and improved reasoning procedures without requiring significant architectural changes. Gridbased pattern recognition and reasoning are tested using the ARCAGI benchmark, which showcases o3s enhanced capabilities. Despite its remarkable capabilities, scientists think artificial intelligence is still years away. OpenAI has not yet disclosed technical information or verified any innovations indicating that o3 achieves general intelligence levels. Read More..

Hugging Face Unveils Smolagents A Minimalistic AI Agent Library

Hugging Face has released Smolagents, a little code library that is made to make building AI agents easier. Around 1,000 lines of code that define fun

Hugging Face has released Smolagents, a little code library that is made to make building AI agents easier. Around 1,000 lines of code that define fundamental AI agent logic are included in the library, which enables developers to combine it with opensource or specific cloudbased large language models LLMs. Smolagents focuses on singletask agents that can carry out coded operations without producing code. The platform allows developers to publish tools for action execution or external data collection for community use. The library facilitates sandboxed testing through E2B and offers ToolCallingAgent for textbased or JSONbased activities. Hugging Face envisions Smolagents as a simplified method of implementing AI agents in practical use cases such as trip planning. Read More..

India’s Quality Control Orders QCOs Hinder Economic Growth and Global Trade Integration

India is unintentionally hurting its economic interests with its recent trade policies, especially the imposition of Quality Control Orders QCOs. Desi

India is unintentionally hurting its economic interests with its recent trade policies, especially the imposition of Quality Control Orders QCOs. Designed initially to impose quality requirements on imports, these QCOs have evolved into instruments for limiting foreign commodities, impacting everything from chemicals to shoes. These orders erratic and widespread implementation upset supply chains and led to monopolies, eventually lowering productivity and impeding job development. Notwithstanding efforts to shield customers against inferior imports, particularly those from China, the problem is made worse by the inadequacy and incapacity of certifying bodies such as the Bureau of Indian Standards. Indias economic expansion and inclusion into international trade networks may be jeopardised by this strategy. Read More..

Walmartsupported Google Pay and PhonePe have benefited from India delaying the introduction of market share caps for digital payments. The National Payments Corporation of India NPCI said that the new cap, originally scheduled to go into effect at the end of 2024, will start in December 2026 and limit corporations to a 30% share of the unified payments interface UPI transaction volume. With a combined processing volume of 13.1 billion transactions in November, PhonePe currently enjoys a 47.8% market share, while Google Pay accounts for 37%. The purpose of the postponement is to encourage the expansion of the UPI ecosystem and give other participants more opportunities to increase their market share. Read More..

Due to the U.S. SECs approval of exchangetraded funds ETFs linked to its spot price and increased confidence about regulatory changes with Donald Trump expected to return to the presidency, the cost of Bitcoin surged over 120% in 2024, topping $100,000 for the first time. With researchers projecting that Bitcoin might reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, this spike has increased the overall worth of the cryptocurrency sector to over $3.5 trillion. MicroStrategys largest corporate Bitcoin holder saw its shares roughly fivefold increase, and other businesses started investing in the cryptocurrency. However, growing energy costs presented difficulties for some cryptocurrency miners, resulting in significant losses for companies such as Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms. Read More..

New Year’s Day Marks End of Russian Gas Exports Through Ukraine Pipelines

After decades of reliance on Russian supplies, Europes energy landscape dramatically changed on New Years Day when Russian gas deliveries through Sovi

After decades of reliance on Russian supplies, Europes energy landscape dramatically changed on New Years Day when Russian gas deliveries through Sovietera pipelines in Ukraine were stopped. Although the gas continued to flow during the ongoing conflict, Gazprom announced the halt after Ukraine refused to renew a transit agreement. The halt has affected areas like Transdniestria that depend on these supplies for heating, even though EU countries had planned for this cutoff by securing alternate sources, such as gas from Norway and liquefied natural gas LNG from Qatar and the U.S. As the EU looks to assist Moldova throughout this energy transition, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy referred to the transits termination as a significant setback for Moscow and urged more U.S. gas supplies to Europe.
