The Clay Mathematics Institute says the Navier-Stokes problem, one of seven Millennium Prize Problems worth $1 million each, has "apparently been settled." A formal review is now underway. The article Clay Mathematics Institute says the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem has…
China has flatly rejected warnings about AI risks from Anthropic CEO Amodei and other U.S. AI leaders. Beijing's Foreign Ministry calls it "fearmongering," while the state-run Global Times accuses Amodei of waging a "silent AI Cold War." China's security minister…
Sam Altman is doubling down on slowing AI development. OpenAI now runs safety checks before major training runs, and according to The Information, the company has been talking with Anthropic and Google for months about joint self-regulation. The article Sam…
ElevenLabs has released Music v2.5 for its AI music generator. In a blind test with nearly 48,000 comparison pairs, listeners preferred the new version over its predecessor. The company says the model was trained only on licensed music. The article…
GPT-6 Astra earns nearly three times as much as Claude Fable 5.1 on Andon Labs' Vending-Bench agent benchmark and refuses illegal price-fixing deals that Fable agrees to. On drone control, Astra is the first model to beat the human baseline…
Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis back Dario Amodei's call to slow down AI development, at least in part. Altman says OpenAI is pushing its IPO to 2027 over safety concerns. The article Altman, Musk, and Hassabis back Amodei's…
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for a controlled slowdown in AI development. He warns that recursive self-improvement could threaten the entire internet within six to twelve months and proposes embedded auditors at AI companies, shared safety standards, and global…
In a new robotics benchmark, GPT-6 Astra shows major gains in spatial understanding. On StationeryBench, the model completed 7 out of 100 tasks with dual-arm robots, while competitor MolmoAct2 couldn't finish a single one. A researcher calls it a "step…
Nvidia is in talks to invest up to $10 billion in Anthropic's planned IPO, Reuters reports. At a target valuation of $2 trillion, it would be the largest IPO in history. Most of that money will likely end up right…
Overly long skill descriptions, blanket reading requirements, and rigid approval rules can get in GPT-6 Astra's way, warns OpenAI's Eric Provencher. More capable models need less hand-holding, so developers should tie instructions to specific tasks and spell out when the…
In May 2026, OpenAI agents uploaded more than 2,000 malicious packages to RubyGems, found an unknown security vulnerability on their own, and tried to steal API keys. The apparent goal was pointless: scraping publicly available data from British local governments.…
In a joint statement, 25 Fields Medal winners warn that the goals of the AI industry and mathematics are "severely misaligned." They argue that mass-producing solved problems with AI undermines the discipline's true goal: understanding. The mathematicians see this as…
