This is a very cool and exciting discovery by Claude Mythos! It found a serious 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 attack on the post-quantum signature scheme HAWK, an "on-ramp" candidate for potential NIST standardization. www.anthropic.com/research/dis...

PS: this discovery builds crucially on a lot of recent work on LIP by (very smart) humans; it did not come from "out of the blue." Mythos seems to have found one critical new piece, integrated it into the existing landscape, and assembled it all into an end-to-end attack.
