Western Digital to integrate post-quantum cryptography into hard drives

Western Digital said on May 19 it integrated post-quantum cryptography into its latest high-capacity Ultrastar UltraSMR hard disk drives. The company said it will introduce HDDs that apply quantum-resistant algorithms approved by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. Western Digital said the move shows quantum security is shifting from theory to hardware-level defense and could help protect large-scale data lakes backing AI innovation from future quantum computers.

Charles Hoskinson says quantum computers likely to be commercialised before 2033, need to prepare now

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano (ADA), warned there is more than a 50 percent chance quantum computers will pose a practical threat to cryptocurrencies before 2033. He said the risk should be treated as a near-term technical deadline. Cardano is pushing a shift to lattice-based cryptography and plans to reflect U.S. NIST post-quantum standards, including FIPS 203 to 205. Similar preparations are under way at Solana.

DeepSeek V4 Pro nears GPT-5-level performance, rated best Chinese AI model

DeepSeek’s latest model, DeepSeek V4 Pro, is about 8 months behind top U.S. AI models, a U.S. government-affiliated assessment showed. The AI Standards and Innovation Center under NIST said it delivered the highest performance among Chinese AI models, scoring about 200 points above Kimi K2.5. CAISI also rated it more cost-efficient than comparable models, outperforming OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 Mini on 5 of 7 benchmarks.
