Politico ran an extensive interview with PsiQuantum CEO Victor Peng this week. In it, he said the company would complete their Australia-based system on schedule, even with delays and a change of location for the planned facility. PsiQuantum ultimately broke ground in Brisbane in June, and they expect to have a large fault-tolerant system in place by 2030. Peng also discusses the role of quantum computing in Australian and global security and government officials’ limited understanding of the technology.

Most dictation apps are a wrapper around someone else's speech model. Wispr Flow trained its own.

It's called Canto, and it was built for the way people actually talk to AI: thinking out loud, changing direction mid-sentence, half-whispering in an open office.

Wispr tested it on 10 hours of real dictations from more than 2,300 speakers. Canto had the lowest word error rate of every model tested, including models from Google, OpenAI, AssemblyAI and Deepgram. That means your prompts to ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor come through the way you said them.

Talk naturally in any app and Wispr Flow types clean, formatted text, 4x faster than typing.

Federal News Network covered a panel discussion and preliminary report from the Commission on U.S. Quantum Primacy. It included discussion of current federal funding models, DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, and recent spying revelations related to NVIDIA and Jensen Huang.

“To what extent are you prepared for a nation-state level actor who is determined to potentially bring your activities offline, or to potentially capture your intellectual property?” asked Michael Massetti, section chief at the FBI and head of the interagency Quantum Information Science and Technology Counterintelligence Protection Team.

Howard University researchers published a review article on what they call “Quantum Biology 2.0.” It provides context for “biologically oriented scientists, who are interested in how quantum processes play a role in enzyme catalysis, evolutionary behavior, and sub-neuronal brain mapping across living systems interacting with the electromagnetic field, even at the ultraweak or single-photon level,” according to Howard’s Philip Kurian.
