4+ day, 6+ hour ago   (261+ words) OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra tops the ErdosBench for open math problems, even though chief scientist Jakub Pachocki says the company didn't prioritize math. That says something about where "AGI" actually stands. Mathematicians can take a brief (likely very brief) breather after…...

6+ day, 3+ hour ago   (414+ words) Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster describes how OpenAI pressured him after information about his AI-assisted research leaked, tried to remove his co-author from the paper, and threatened him. Tristan Buckmaster and his co-author Levent Alpöge used AI models to make major progress…...

1+ week, 7+ hour ago   (489+ words) OpenAI is releasing internal data showing how much AI agents now drive its own model development, and it says it has hit a self-set milestone on the path toward self-improving AI. Chief scientist Jakub Pachocki pairs that with an unusually…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (206+ words) the-decoder.com OpenAI developer claims Astra boosted productivity so much it pulled some plans forward by six months OpenAI developer Thibault Sottiaux poured some gas on the hype fire. Astra was probably OpenAI's "biggest competitive advantage" while it wasn't publicly…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (647+ words) Abliteration.ai removes trained refusal mechanisms from powerful open-weight models and sells access to the modified versions as a service. There's a legitimate market for that, but the same setup creates a difficult security trade-off. Anyone with access to an…...
