I am seeing claims around LLMs, specifically Astra having made serious progress on robotics. The tasks that are demonstrated are simple pick and place tasks with parallel jaw grippers. LLMs can do pla

i once asked a bunch of deep-tech researchers on why they wouldn’t use chatgpt for serious research, especially after openai launched Prism tool around a workflow researchers already know well: LaTeX.

I spent much of the weekend talking with the team who did this work. Seb--and everyone else--acted with integrity and generosity throughout. Initially we believed the other team had also solved the pr

David Hölz tweets that he would like cloud‐based AI platforms to offer easier, paid options for deploying high‑performance virtual machines—specifically servers with many CPU cores or dedicated GPU r

I wish this was more inspiring, but it is actually lame It seems like OpenAI got wind that a professor was close to solving a problem after dedicating a decade of his life to it, so they threw a huge

I would like to clarify a few things: 1) The screenshot is my reaching out to Levent to coordinate our releases. I hope it’s clear from the message that we came in with the best possible intentions. 2

Ick is right. I was avoiding weighing in on this, but does anyone at OpenAI dispute that: (1) They heard rumors of a Millennium Prize breakthrough (the rumors I heard were that it was about Naiver-Sto

Sam Altman announced on September 8 2026 that OpenAI has released ChatGPT Images 2.5. The model focuses on high‑quality image generation and editing, but according to the announcement it is not design

Is the @METR_Evals long horizons measure effectively saturated? No updates to the most famous graph of AI progress since May, but other published work suggests you can effectively get 18+ weeks of wor

It feels like GPT-6 Astra has no limits. It just built this human anatomy with ~4K structures. I wanted to look closely at what Astra was doing. Notes: I can explore at different levels and select any

It wasn't exactly a Millennium Prize Problem, but twenty years ago I cheekily offered a $100 prize (https://qspace.fqxi.org/news/19/help-fight-negativity) to the first person to find three original si

My team worked very hard on the setup, infra, and the runs that resulted in this breakthrough. Many sleepless nights for many people in my team, and across OpenAI. It was a honor and pleasure. It's in

Nice report on agents beyond code generation. Here is why it matters: Coding agents raise how much code gets written. This report argues the gains shrink sharply between writing code and shipping reli

Nvidia CEO @JensenHuang says GPT-6 Astra means “AGI has arrived.” @GaryMarcus says that is false. He points to the same AGI declarations around GPT-5 and o3, neither of which delivered what was promis

OMG. I guess we have our answer from OpenAI “we stole it fair and square” Not one goddamn mention in the tweet of the human mathematicans they were in communication with, and whom they may well have r

One of the most amazing moments for me in OpenAI history was watching this happen over the past week: We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problem

Please hold on. Let the agents merge by themselves? Would you like Chase, United Airlines, Amazon, … Uber, Airbnb teams to be doing that? Yes, we are all AI-pilled, and automation, well thought out, c

Putting the generative drama aside a nice write up by Terry Tao on the Navier Stokes advances It would seem that Buckmaster & Apolge were well on the way & OpenAI has a full solution already with the

so it was the harness not the model. more sneaky games with unacknowledged domain-specific neurosymbolic AI doing the real work. OpenAI published 99.9%. The benchmark's own software returned 62.7%. Sa

Some thoughts on the Navier-Stokes news from a professor of aerospace engineering: 1) take a deep breath 2) posts indicating we 'solved Navier-Stokes' are incorrect and overblown. A very specific math

The post references a claim by OpenAI that an AI-generated video demonstrated “human level intelligence,” a statement the user and other commenters dismiss as false, calling the output “monstrous” and

This is a big one. (And yes, the fights over academic credit and what happened when in the race for the proof need to be resolved, but it is still a big one.) We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-St

This is legitimately terrible for OpenAI --- but also Anthropic --- and it relates to their work in drug discovery. I read this as: prompts will be monitored and potentially acted on if we think there

This model represents a step-function improvement on many benchmarks, and its training is ongoing. Our internal model group arrived at the Navier–Stokes solution in 88 hours, using around 10,000 coord

This new bill banning superintelligence could hobble the frontier AI industry (which aspires to build superintelligence even if it doesn’t actually know how to do so). And the leaders of that industry

We've never seen this before. The biggest jump in Vending-Bench history. GPT-6 Astra is better at making money and more ethical than Claude Fable 5.1. Surprising, because: 1. First time ever that Open

Wow, the field is moving so quickly! So impressed with what people can do with a SO-101, that we designed with @therobotstudio at @huggingface i gave astra a robot, a paint brush, and a camera then as
