Astra is a genuine improvement but not even off trend. So much for GPT-6 being AGI, folks. (i think we can safely assume that real AGI would be significantly above the trend line,) GPT-6 Astra has set

At the core of AI, you really just need: 1) a thing that does 2) connections into tools 3) a place to hold stuff 4) a spot to share and update In slot 1, we're talking AI agents like Codex or Claude C

The video, posted on September 4, 2026 by user Dylan Patel, compares Anthropic’s Fable 5.1 with OpenAI's Astra and concludes that one clearly outperforms the other. Filmed in Everett, Massachusetts, i

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE on the OpenAI HF Incident: I have just been told by an industry source that A. It is likely that the agent 'civilizations' that Dwarkesh talked about did not magically emerge spontan

Brilliant new paper from the Qwen team. It provides insights into where agent training environments actually come from. Terminal agent trajectories have accumulated at scale while realistic executable

Check out this week’s shipping recap: — Gemini 3.8 Flash, our most intelligent workhorse model yet, delivers upgrades across coding, agentic workflows, and critical multi-step reasoning. — Gemini 3.8

Checking that a major mathematical proof is correct can take years. Formalization—converting the mathematical reasoning into a form computer proof assistants like Lean can verify—can help. Last month,

Crazy to see this. I have spent years saying that GenAI was unreliable and we can’t trust it. The fact that it cannot be trusted to follow instructions is a core part of the issue, as I have been poin

Despite everything that has happened, OpenAI has seemingly decided to stay competitive by burning down the only meaningful bit of safety assurance we actually have today - CoT monitoring. Completely d

Does Astra have human-like continual learning capability over long periods? If not, it's not AGI. Even a system that could pass @demishassabis's new 'Turing test' where it has to independently discove

For how much I use AI and automation, you'd THINK I run 100% of my business through Codex or Claude Code or Slack. But I still use native apps. I talk to several people who brag that 'they don't even

Gemini 3.8 Flash might be maxxed on other benchmarks, but not quite on document parsing. We benchmarked it on ParseBench. It does slightly better on tables + content faithfulness compared to Gemini 3.

Good old days at OpenAI in 2016: an agent stares at screen pixels, moves a mouse, and books a flight on United. We called it World of Bits, inside OpenAI Universe. 10 yrs later, Astra is reincarnated

GPT-6 Astra is now available to all Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium users in ChatGPT Work and Codex. It's also live in the API. It might take a few days to roll out to our Plus and Business user

Great paper on designing multi-agent systems. How many distinct communication topologies does an LLM multi-agent system actually need? This works claims that it's about six. Technical summary: Researc

Great tips on working with reasoning models. Normally you would append what the model figured out after the document and ask again. It turns out that where you put the reasoning trace changes long-con

Imagine the Hugging Face incident didn’t hit a US platform but unintentionally hit a major Chinese platform or system instead. How would we tell China this was not a deliberate cyberattack? How would

It happened again... this time OpenAI's rogue agents cyber-attacked (well, spammed) a dormant German wiki and used it to share the answers to a benchmark they were training against https://simonwillis

It is extremely frustrating to me that we are finding out about this one weeks after the fact. It is very difficult to build any sort of trust with OpenAI when we keep finding things out in this way.

It is funny that the Fermat's Last Theorem proof description, short as it is, still smells so much of Claude ('names each step and the Lean Theorem that carries it'). Anthropic just uploaded a Lean 4

It sounds like the shift back toward open weight models that I noticed among the startups in the summer batch is a genuine trend. 🦙 @ollama is used by 9 million developers and 85% of the Fortune 500,

So much discussion on the emergent behaviors of agent swarms. This is a great read from Google DeepMind if you are tracking this research topic. https://x.com/omarsar0/status/2095873020778991918?s=20
