The companies say they plan to create an open industry specification for USFP through an upcoming community-led multi-source project, and that they are working with TE Connectivity and Amphenol on USFP cages, connectors, and modules. The release describes the first USFP-based transceivers as planned and gives no availability date; the specification has not yet been published. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/nvidia-launches-open-secure-ai-alliance/ https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/nvidia-launches-open-secure-ai-alliance/ Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT governance NVIDIA announced the Open Secure AI Alliance on July 27, 2026, describing it as an effort to develop and share open technologies, techniques and tools to safeguard software and AI agents. The inaugural partners NVIDIA lists include Cisco, Dell Technologies, HPE, Intel, Anyscale, Crusoe, Fireworks AI and the Linux Foundation, and NVIDIA says the alliance builds on the Linux Foundation's Akrites initiative and OpenSSF community work. NVIDIA says it is contributing open models, model weights, data and agent harness research, and that its open-source NVIDIA Labs Object-Oriented Agent (NOOA) research framework is available on GitHub. NVIDIA also names HPE's contributions to the SPIFFE/SPIRE identity framework among the alliance's work. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/cisco-releases-antares-vulnerability-localization-models/ https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/cisco-releases-antares-vulnerability-localization-models/ Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT release Cisco introduced Antares on July 21, 2026, a family of security-focused small language models for finding which source files in a codebase are likely to contain a known vulnerability, and released Antares-350M and Antares-1B as open-weight models on Hugging Face. Cisco says the models start from a vulnerability description, search and read files in a repository, and output a ranked list of likely files along with the terminal exploration trace, and that they are not meant to replace the broader application security toolchain. The Antares-1B model card lists the Apache 2.0 license and says the model is built on IBM Granite 4.0 1B; downloading it requires accepting gated-access terms on Hugging Face. Cisco says an Antares-3B model is coming soon. USASI has not tested the models.
