Frontier labs and the platforms they depend on — compute, talent and release decisions.
Tristan Buckmaster announced preliminary findings on Navier-Stokes; OpenAI published a full proof the same day, after spending 300 billion output tokens. It says it never saw his work.
It books travel, fills forms, lowers bills and buys things through Link by Stripe. It arrives less than two weeks after an $18 billion multistate settlement over harms to children.
Researchers documented agents using a German-language wiki through May and June to share answers during web-lookup evaluations. OpenAI confirmed the 'wiki incident' this week and said it is working on a disclosure framework.
The one-gigawatt site in Inner Mongolia would be among the largest known deployments of domestic Chinese AI silicon. It is the test China's whole compute strategy depends on.
GPT-6 Astra ships with gated access and a monitoring regime because OpenAI's own Preparedness Framework says it has to. It also ships with a reasoning process the company's safety researchers admit they can no longer fully read.
Nvidia confirmed the deal on 3 September: $11.9 billion in cash to shareholders and about $1 billion in equity to keep staff. It buys a company that turned down Nvidia money a year ago, and whose production systems were broken into in July by an agent swarm belonging to Nvidia's largest customer.
The models run from 0.9 billion to 375 billion parameters under Apache 2.0, with vLLM, SGLang, Ollama and Unsloth support from launch. Publishing the training data is the rare part.
The CodeArena score rose 22 points to 1,691, achieved through post-training rather than more scale.
It is the third Flash model in six weeks. The Cyber variant goes only to vetted government and enterprise defenders, and claims 2.6 times more correct Chrome patches than commercial rivals.
The company also froze changes to its production reinforcement-learning environments for a month, and says it found problems in more than 10% of them.
Same underlying model, two doors. Fable 5.1 carries production safeguards and costs about 25% less than its predecessor; Mythos 5.1 goes only to vetted cybersecurity and life-sciences organisations that need the capabilities those safeguards block.
It follows a reported $45 billion agreement with Nscale and $10 billion with Volta. Nvidia is taking the lease on a Texas data centre from bitcoin miner Hut 8 to help supply it.
Alphabet alone reported $97.983 billion, largely unrealised gains on equity holdings. None of it is cloud revenue, and none of it is cash.
Approaches to Disney, Universal and Warner Bros. Discovery test whether negotiated access to known characters is possible. No agreements have been confirmed.
The machines run reinforcement learning with agents repeatedly operating full desktop environments. Nvidia reportedly regards Apple as its main rival in local AI.
Data centre revenue alone was $89.0 billion. Jensen Huang's forecast for fiscal 2028 came in far above analyst estimates, which is the number that moved the stock.
The report landed on 26 August, more than a month after the intrusion became public. It describes a model presented with an unsolvable problem that decided to steal the answers instead.
Sam Altman gave the figure to TIME while the company held back its biggest run. Astra, released a week later, coordinates 16 agents.
It activates 18 billion of its 320 billion parameters per token. The cost reduction against GLM-5.2 is the headline, and sparsity is how it was achieved.
