Anthropic warns small AI models may soon spread between smart devices
Research from Anthropic's Frontier Red Team suggests small models may be months away from copying themselves across poorly secured internet-connected gadgets. Examples include smart ovens and inexpensive Android TV boxes. Such systems could operate without a data center, making them harder to stop through a single centralized shutdown point.
- RuntimeWire reports the study ran a model across 15 Android TV boxes.
