AI models GPT-6 Astra and Opus 5 crack long-unsolved Enigma messages
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, and in some accounts Anthropic's Claude Opus 5, reportedly decrypted several long-unsolved Enigma messages. These messages, some dating back to 1941, had resisted human cryptographers for decades. The achievement is being framed by some outlets as the AI models passing "Turing's other test," a reference to Alan Turing's work on cracking Enigma during WWII. While widely reported across multiple tech and general news outlets, the primary source for these claims appears to be the respective AI companies. The specific details regarding the age and number of messages cracked vary slightly across reports.
