generalMultiverse Computing Launches Quantum Inspired HyperNova 60B 2602, 50% Compressed LLM, on Hugging Face
Multiverse Computing today announced the release of HyperNova 60B 2602, a 50% compressed version of OpenAI’s gpt-oss-120B, now freely available on Hugging Face. The Spanish AI compression leader has reduced the model’s memory requirements from 61GB to 32GB while maintaining near-parity in tool-calling performance, demonstrating significant gains on agentic benchmarks like Tau2-Bench and Terminal Bench Hard. This release signals a move toward efficiency-led AI, particularly relevant as European policymakers prioritize sovereign AI and address infrastructure limitations. “The launch of HyperNova 60B 2602 demonstrates compression as an iterative process of improvement, not a one-time optimization,” said Enrique Lizaso Olmos, CEO of Multiverse Computing, highlighting the company’s commitment to accessible, high-performance AI. HyperNova 60B 2602: 50% Compression of gpt-oss-120B A 50% reduction in size doesn’t have to mean a compromise in performance, according to Multiverse Computing’s latest release, HyperNova 60B 2602. This isn’t simply about shrinking models; it’s about fundamentally altering the trajectory of AI development, prioritizing efficiency alongside raw computational power. Initial benchmarks reveal substantial gains in agentic performance, with a five-fold improvement on the Tau2-Bench and a doubling of performance on the Terminal Bench Hard. This advancement arrives at a critical juncture, as European policymakers increasingly emphasize sovereign AI and address existing infrastructure limitations. Multiverse Computing’s approach, leveraging its proprietary CompactifAI technology—which utilizes quantum-inspired mathematics—offers a pathway to reduce both compute costs and the carbon footprint of large language models. CompactifAI preserves the most vital components of neural networks, achieving up to 95% size reduction with minimal accuracy loss, a significant leap beyond the typical 20-30% accuracy loss seen with conventional 50-60% compression.

generalAmeritec IPS Announces QAmChain Post-Quantum Blockchain and QB-CURE Biometric Wallet, Upgrading the HEWE Ecosystem for the Quantum Era - markets.businessinsider.com
The Houston-based company behind the HEWE token and AmChain blockchain is rebuilding its infrastructure from the ground up with quantum-resistant security, while launching a biometric wallet designed to make stolen recovery phrases useless. HOUSTON, Feb. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ameritec IPS, the U.S.-based cybersecurity and blockchain company that developed the HEWE (Health and Wealth) digital asset ecosystem and its underlying AmChain blockchain, has announced the upcoming launch of two new products designed to bring post-quantum security to its platform. The first is QAmChain, a quantum-resistant evolution of the company's existing AmChain network. The second is QB-CURE Wallet, a biometric-secured digital wallet that pairs facial authentication with post-quantum encryption to protect user funds even if recovery credentials are compromised. Both products will be accessible through the HEWE ecosystem portal at hewe.io. The announcement marks a significant evolution for the HEWE ecosystem, which has grown from a health-focused walking rewards platform into a broader blockchain infrastructure that includes token listings on exchanges like LBank, the AmChain MasterCard for real-world crypto spending, and a growing user base across its HEWE CLUB app. With QAmChain and QB-CURE Wallet, Ameritec IPS is now positioning the ecosystem for the next frontier in blockchain security: the quantum computing era. Ameritec IPS isn't adding a security patch to AmChain and calling it done. The company is rebuilding the protocol entirely. AmChain, the Proof-of-Authority blockchain that currently powers the HEWE ecosystem, will transition fully into QAmChain. The upgrade embeds quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms at every architectural layer: transaction validation, consensus mechanism, validator node infrastructure, and cryptographic key management. This isn't a retrofit. The quantum-safe security is the architecture itself.

generalHow to improve the performance of qubits: Super-fast fluctuation detection achieved - Phys.org
Every day, our site receives millions of automated requests consuming terabytes of bandwidth — most of them from content scrapers that provide no value to real users. To keep the site fast and reliable, we sometimes show a quick security check. Over the past few years, the nature of web traffic has changed dramatically. The majority of traffic hitting many websites today is no longer human — it is automated. Unfortunately, these are not helpful bots (like search engine crawlers), but large-scale content scrapers that copy data and consume resources without providing value to our users. Today’s bots are designed to look like real people. Modern scrapers: Because of this, traditional bot detection techniques (like basic rate limits or simple bot filters) can’t reliably distinguish between humans and automation. Even though you never see these bots, they have a real impact: Without protection, the cost of running the service would increase dramatically — and directly impact our ability to keep it running and responsive for real users. We use Turnstile (by Cloudflare) selectively, not for everyone. This allows most visitors to browse normally without interruption while still protecting the platform. So if you do see it, it’s because the system just wants to quickly confirm you’re human. We understand that any extra step can feel inconvenient. However, without this protection our operational costs would skyrocket, which would directly affect the stability and availability of the site. This is not something we added lightly — it’s a measure we were forced to adopt to keep the service sustainable. If you are using a modern, up-to-date browser, the check: Turnstile is not used for tracking or profiling you. It simply verifies that: It does not collect personal data or allow us to identify you. These protections help ensure that real people — not automated scrapers — get fast, reliable access to the site.

generalBitcoin may tumble toward $30,000 next year unless it shows real progress toward quantum proof upgrades - CryptoSlate
1510 Views Bitcoin's current bear market could worsen over the next year if the flagship digital asset fails to address concerns about quantum computing.In a Feb. 20 report, Charles Edwards, Capriole founder, claimed that Bitcoin’s market value should already be discounted for quantum risk and warned that the discount could deepen quickly if the network does not move toward quantum-resistant code.According to him:“Bitcoin will be worth half as much in little over a year if we do not progress an upgrade to quantum proof Bitcoin. Without progress, Bitcoin’s Quantum Discount Factor jumps to 75% in 2029.”This projection implies that Bitcoin's price could drop to around $30,000 from its current level of $68,000 by next year.However, he warned that this could be worse, as Bitcoin’s value could fall to zero after Q-Day if the network is unable to address quantum computing threats.Despite these fears, Edwards argues that Bitcoin's current price is undervalued by about 30% as its current fair valuation is around $120,000, which would drop to $96,000 when accounting for quantum risk.Bitcoin's Fair Value (Source: Capriole)He wrote:“In other words if you are a long-term investor in Bitcoin, and optimistic we will solve on the quantum threat in the next 2-3 years, then Bitcoin in the $60,000s is an attractive long-term opportunity.”Essentially, the point is not that a quantum attack is imminent. Edwards’ framework is that markets may start marking down Bitcoin before any “Q-Day” event if investors believe the network’s governance and migration process will take years.In his model, the risk becomes a valuation discount now because Bitcoin upgrades are slow and require broad coordination across developers, nodes, miners, exchanges, and wallet users.Why the market can discount a future threat todayEdwards’ note argues that quantum risk has moved from a fringe topic to a timeline problem.

generalBitcoin’s 50% Slide: Quantum Scare Or Capital Rotation? - Bitcoin Magazine
HomeMARKETSBitcoin’s 50% Slide: Quantum Scare or Capital Rotation? MARKETS Bitcoin’s 50% Slide: Quantum Scare or Capital Rotation? Bitcoin’s 46% slide from its October high near $126,100 to about $67,000 has sparked debate over whether fears of quantum computing pose a real threat to the network’s cryptography or whether the downturn is better explained by shifting capital flows. By Micah Zimmerman February 20, 2026 Share FacebookTwitterLinkedinReddItEmailTelegramCopy URL Bitcoin’s 46% decline from its October peak near $126,100 to roughly $67,000 has triggered debate over what is driving the pullback. Some market participants have pointed to quantum computing as a looming threat to the network’s cryptographic security. Others argue the explanation lies elsewhere, in shifting capital flows, tightening liquidity and changing miner economics. On a recent episode of the Unchained podcast hosted by Laura Shin, Bitcoin developer Matt Corallo rejected the idea that quantum fears are behind the downturn. If investors were pricing in imminent quantum risk to Bitcoin’s cryptography, he said, Ether would likely be outperforming rather than falling in tandem. Bitcoin is down roughly 46% from its all-time high, while Ether has fallen roughly 58% since an early-October market break. Corallo argued that this parallel weakness undercuts the claim that quantum computing is uniquely weighing on Bitcoin. He added that some holders may be looking for a scapegoat to explain weak price action. The quantum debate has gained visibility as researchers explore post-quantum cryptography and as asset managers update disclosures. Last year, BlackRock amended the registration statement for its iShares Bitcoin ETF to flag quantum computing as a potential risk to the network’s integrity. Corallo countered that market pricing does not signal urgency. He framed the current environment as one in which Bitcoin is competing for capital against other sectors, especially artificial intelligence.

generalQiskit-Braket provider v0.11: New Primitives and Flexible Circuit Compilation - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Qiskit-Braket provider v0.11: New Primitives and Flexible Circuit Compilation We recently released v0.11 of the Qiskit-Braket provider, which brings more Qiskit features to Amazon Braket users, improves access to Braket backends through Qiskit, and also enables compilation on the Braket SDK or with OpenQASM Programs. With v0.11, the Qiskit-Braket provider now: Supports flexible compilation features for Braket using common Qiskit transpile functionality through the to_braket function Contains new BraketEstimator and BraketSampler primitives, which mirror routines found in similar Qiskit primitives, and includes several features aimed at running with Amazon Braket program sets. Supports Qiskit 2.0, and is fully back compatible to v0.34.2. With the latest upgrades to the Qiskit-Braket provider, you can use a richer set of tools for executing quantum programs on Amazon Braket. Updated support for Qiskit 2.0 The Qiskit-Braket-provider now supports Qiskit 2.0, which introduced new functionality and deprecated several old classes, compared to Qiskit 1.x. Additionally, performance increases seen in the refactoring of Qiskit 2.0 can now be leveraged using the Qiskit-Braket provider. The Qiskit-Braket provider is also back compatible to v0.34.2. For a full list of 2.0 changes, see Qiskit’s release summary, as well as recent releases (0.7.0 and beyond) in the Qiskit-Braket provider. Unlocking compilation for Braket circuits The Qiskit-Braket provider can now be used to easily unlock compilation on Braket circuits. You can now compile or transpile to Braket Circuit objects through the to_braket function, which can then be directly submitted to Braket devices: from qiskit_braket_provider import to_braket from braket.circuits import Circuit from braket.aws import AwsDevice from braket.devices import Devices device = AwsDevice(Devices.IQM.Garnet) ghz_4 = Circuit().h(0).cnot(0,1).cnot(1,2).cnot(2,3) ghz_4_native = to_braket(ghz_4, braket_device = device) # result = device.

generalImplemented CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium in a 14-layer AI governance framework - looking for feedback on PQC integration approach
I've been building an open-source framework (SCBE-AETHERMOORE) that integrates post-quantum cryptographic primitives into AI governance workflows. The core implementation uses: - Kyber768 for key encapsulation in agent-to-agent communication - ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium) for signing governance decisions - Hyperbolic geometry for modeling trust boundaries across 14 security layers - Hamiltonian path-based control flow integrity checks The idea is that as AI systems become more autonomous (fleet coordination, swarm robotics), the governance layer securing them needs to be quantum-resistant from day one rather than retrofitted later. I'd appreciate feedback from the PQC community on: Is the Kyber768 + ML-DSA-65 pairing a reasonable default for this use case? Any thoughts on hybrid classical/PQC approaches for the transition period? How realistic is the threat model for AI governance specifically? Live demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/issdandavis/SCBE-AETHERMOORE-Demo GitHub: https://github.com/issdandavis/SCBE-AETHERMOORE Patent pending (#63/961,403). Would love to hear thoughts from anyone working in PQC or AI security. submitted by /u/Prudent-Prize-2561 [link] [comments]
