AI Decodes a 217-Year-Old Napoleonic Military Letter in 6 Hours

Carter Church, an engineer at the cybersecurity company SentinelOne, used AI to decipher a Napoleonic-era military message that had gone unsolved for more than two centuries.

Details:

• The encrypted document was sent to French General Auguste de Marmont on Napoleon's orders as Europe moved toward another major conflict, though it was not written directly by Napoleon.

• OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra reportedly handled the process end to end, first transcribing the image and identifying repeated symbols before analyzing the document’s homophonic substitution cipher.

• The model also wrote code and cross-referenced historical records, completing the decipherment in roughly six hours.

• The letter revealed details about the positions of the Bavarian, Polish and French forces, as well as references to the movements of the Russian and Austrian troops.

• Using the decoded troop numbers, officers' titles and unit positions, Church re-dated the document to late March 1809, about two weeks before Austrian forces launched its offensive against France.

Several researchers had previously attempted to reconstruct the letter, but no complete decipherment had been published before this effort. Church says Satoshi Tomokiyo, the Tokyo-based researcher who maintains Cryptiana, reviewed the solution and marked the entry as "solved."

Trump Announces Formation of AI "Super Intelligence Force"

President Trump announced Sunday the formation of a "Super Intelligence Force" that will coordinate federal efforts around AI, with the goal of ensuring the U.S. remains the global leader in "super intelligence."

Details:

• Jay Clayton will reportedly chair the task force, with FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson, Undersecretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and OPM Director Scott Kupor serving as vice chairs.

• The group will have 120 days to produce a report examining the opportunities and risks created by AI and developing plans for responding to potential threats.

• The task force is expected to “develop plans for responding to SI-enabled threats to our society, while preventing overregulation and regulatory capture that would stifle innovation and competition.”

• Clayton has argued that the U.S. should not pull back from AI development as China advances, saying that failing to remain ahead could itself be one of the biggest risks.

Trump first floated the idea in September, saying he would form an AI task force in response to the growing debate over AI safety. Sunday's announcement delivers on that promise, with the new name also being part of the administration's recent push to rebrand AI as "super intelligence."
