ChatGPT-6 Astra Cracks 108-Year-Old WWI German Code
An AI model has reportedly decoded a World War I German radio message that had resisted cryptanalysts for over a century.
According to Tom's Hardware, an encrypted German radio message from World War I has been deciphered for the first time, 108 years after it was originally transmitted. The message had previously evaded all decoding attempts, making the reported breakthrough notable for both historians and cryptographers.
The message, dated 1918, reportedly shared intelligence about enemy fleet movements in the Crimea. The source states that the decoded warning was verified against logs from HMS Canterbury, lending credibility to the deciphering effort.
The work is attributed to ChatGPT-6 Astra, an AI model. The source describes the result as "apparently" successful, indicating that the claim may still require further confirmation from experts in the field.
