Gemini Argon is awesome at the $20 plan. I think I got 3 whole prompts in before getting dropped to Flash 3.5.

Happy Halloween. The maze is not for you, Westworld residents.
The qubit count to crack RSA keeps dropping. We're scheduling to get them back on The Post-Quantum World to discuss!
Breaking RSA-2048 with 23,000 cat qubits. 🐈 In 3.14 daysView quoted post on X
This is the finding of our new paper, the latest resource estimate for Shor’s algorithm, the benchmark the whole field uses to compare quantum hardware 📄
The results are a record low for total quantum resources at this speed of execution, about 40 times fewer physical qubits than @GoogleQuantumAI 's Craig Gidney 2025 estimate. 🏁
RSA-2048 is the lock behind secure websites, banking and software updates 🔐 Shor's algorithm has been able to break it, on paper since 1994. Nobody has built the machine yet, but every year the estimate of how big it needs to be gets a little smaller.
In 2019, the best estimate was 20 million qubits. In 2024, ours was just under 100,000. Now 22,593, in 3.14 days. Yes, pi 🥧
Small isn't enough. Fast isn't enough. The new study optimizes for both. 😼
Bitcoin, Ethereum and most blockchains aren't secure either, about 30,000 qubits would be needed to crack a Bitcoin key in about an hour ₿ ⏳
How we got here, what it means for cryptography, and when it all converges, our CEO Théau Peronnin talks about it in the blog 👇
