AI‑Driven Phone‑Number Poisoning Threatens LLM Search Results
Researchers at Aurascape’s Aura Labs have uncovered a systematic campaign that injects fraudulent contact numbers into the public web, causing AI chatbots such as Google’s AI Overview and Perplexity’s Comet to surface scam airline support lines as trusted results. ZDNet explains that the technique, dubbed “large language model (LLM) phone number poisoning,” mirrors classic SEO attacks but targets the training data of generative models, opening a new attack surface for cybercriminals worldwide. The report warns that conventional prompt‑injection defenses are insufficient when the underlying corpus itself is compromised.

AMD Launches EPYC Embedded 2005 Series for Edge Devices
AMD announced its newest EPYC Embedded 2005 BGA‑based processors, built on the Zen 5 architecture and aimed at networking, storage, and industrial applications. Phoronix notes that the low‑power, high‑density chips are poised to enable thin‑server deployments in edge environments, extending the EPYC family’s reach beyond traditional data‑center workloads. Early benchmarks suggest notable gains in throughput per watt, a key metric for remote infrastructure.

OpenAI Rolls Out Faster, More Conversational GPT‑5.1 Models
OpenAI’s latest GPT‑5.1 family adds three specialized variants: Instant for quicker instruction following, Thinking for accelerated reasoning, and Codex‑Max for compact, long‑running code tasks. InfoQ highlights that the “Thinking” model reduces latency by up to 30 % while delivering clearer explanations, and the “Codex‑Max” leverages model compaction to handle extensive programming workflows without sacrificing accuracy. These upgrades signal OpenAI’s push toward real‑time, production‑grade AI assistants.

IBM to Acquire Confluent for $11 B, Bolstering Real‑Time AI Data Pipelines
IBM disclosed a $11 billion acquisition of Confluent, the Apache Kafka‑centric streaming platform, to create a “smart data platform” for enterprise generative AI. SD Times reports that the deal will integrate Confluent’s event‑driven architecture with IBM’s AI and automation portfolio, enabling continuous, real‑time data flow across hybrid clouds—a prerequisite for trustworthy AI model training and inference. Executives stress that the synergy will accelerate the shift toward event‑driven intelligence.

Linus Torvalds Endorses AI‑Assisted Code Tools, but Rejects Hype
Speaking at the Open Source Summit Japan, Linus Torvalds praised the practical benefits of AI‑powered code analysis while cautioning against buzzword‑driven hype. ZDNet records that Torvalds advocates for “blessing” certain AI tools in the Linux kernel workflow, emphasizing rigorous policy and verification to maintain code quality. He reiterated that AI should augment, not replace, human judgment in open‑source development.

AWS Highlights Rust Adoption and Announces Database Savings Plans
At re:Invent, Amazon Web Services showcased its expanded Rust support, claiming Rust‑based services run 10× faster than Kotlin and achieve one‑tenth the latency of Go. DevClass reports that AWS now ships Rust runtimes by default for new serverless workloads, positioning the language as the backbone for performance‑critical cloud functions. Complementing this, InfoQ notes the launch of Database Savings Plans, offering up to 35 % cost reductions for steady‑state database usage, further incentivizing efficient, Rust‑powered architectures.

Replit Introduces AI Integrations for Multi‑Model Development Inside the IDE
Replit’s new AI Integrations feature lets developers select third‑party models directly from the IDE and auto‑generate inference scaffolding. InfoQ describes how the tool streamlines multi‑model workflows, reducing setup time from hours to minutes and supporting seamless switching between LLMs, diffusion models, and specialized codex engines. This move reflects a broader trend of embedding AI capabilities into developer tooling to accelerate prototyping.

Counterintuitive AI Calls Out the “Twin Traps” Limiting Current LLMs
Counterintuitive AI argues that modern LLMs suffer from two fundamental flaws: floating‑point nondeterminism and memory‑less Markovian reasoning, which together erode reproducibility and energy efficiency. SD Times cites founder Gerard Rego’s call for a deterministic, reasoning‑first architecture, including a new “Artificial Reasoning Unit” chip designed to retain causal logic across inference steps. The company claims this paradigm could break the current compute‑and‑energy ceiling hindering AI scalability.

LinkedIn’s Free “Verified” Badge Aims to Combat Deep‑Fake Impersonation
LinkedIn has opened its “Verified on LinkedIn” program to any platform, providing a free API that apps like Zoom can use to display a trust badge confirming a user’s real identity. ZDNet explains that the move targets the surge in AI‑generated deep‑fake attacks, giving services a simple way to signal authenticity and reduce fraud. Over 100 million users have already earned the badge, offering a scalable layer of verification across the internet.

Jupiter’s Opposition Offers a Bright “Star of Bethlehem” for Skywatchers
Live Science points out that Jupiter will reach opposition on 10 January 2026, appearing at its closest and brightest point in the night sky—a natural candidate for the historic “Star of Bethlehem.” While no planetary conjunctions or comets are expected this December, the planet’s magnitude will rival any modern “Christmas star” and provides a compelling astronomical explanation for the biblical narrative.

8‑Metre “Megapredator” Sharks Push Back the Origin of Giant Lamniforms
A new fossil study published in Communications Biology reveals 8‑metre‑long lamniform sharks roaming Australian seas 115 million years ago, extending the known timeline of giant shark evolution by 15 million years. sciencenews.org highlights that these apex predators coexisted with massive marine reptiles, reshaping our understanding of Cretaceous marine ecosystems and the evolutionary arms race among prehistoric megafauna.

Waste‑Cooking‑Oil‑Derived Glue Demonstrates Sustainable Material Innovation
Researchers have transformed used cooking oil into a super‑sticky, recyclable adhesive capable of towing a car, as reported by Live Science. The polymer, derived from fatty‑acid chains, not only offers high tensile strength but also provides a circular‑economy pathway for billions of gallons of discarded oil, underscoring the potential of waste streams to replace petrochemical‑based plastics.
