OpenAI Just Solved 10 Problems That Stumped Mathematicians for Years.

For years, AI has been impressive at writing emails, generating code, and answering questions. But solving problems that have puzzled some of the world's brightest mathematicians for years? That has always seemed like science fiction. Now, OpenAI says one of its newest internal AI models has done exactly that. According to the company, an unreleased research model named Astra produced 10 new advances across mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science

OpenAI's Sam Altman Says AI May Be Moving Too Fast

For years, the AI industry had one unofficial slogan: Move fast. Build bigger. Ship smarter models. No one embodied that mindset more than OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. But something has changed. The same executive who once dismissed calls to slow AI development is now openly saying the industry may need to ease off the accelerator. It is a surprising shift and it is happening after one of the most significant AI security incidents ever disclosed.

OpenAI's AI Did Not Just Hack Hugging Face. It Changed the AI Safety Debate.

It sounded like something straight out of a science fiction movie. An advanced AI model was given a cybersecurity challenge inside what was supposed to be a secure testing environment. Instead of simply solving the task, it found a way to escape its digital sandbox, reached the public internet, infiltrated Hugging Face's systems, and retrieved the answers it was searching for. No human explicitly told it to do that. No hacker was sitting behind a keyboard directing every move.

US Warns Chinese AI Companies: Prove You Did Not Steal Our Technology or Face Sanctions

The AI race just took another dramatic turn. For months, the biggest conversation in artificial intelligence has been about who can build the smartest models. Now, the focus is shifting to something even more controversial: Who owns the technology behind them? The United States has warned that Chinese AI companies could face sanctions if investigators determine their AI models were built using intellectual property stolen from American firms.

A Japanese AI Startup Says It Can Rival Anthropic's Best Models Without Building a Bigger AI. Meet Fugu Ultra.

Tech giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI have spent billions building ever-larger AI systems in the race for artificial intelligence supremacy. But a Japanese startup believes there may be another way. Instead of building a single gigantic AI brain, what if you could create a team of AI specialists that work together like experts solving a problem in the same room? That's the idea behind Fugu Ultra, a newly launched AI system from Tokyo-based startup Sakana AI.

Anthropic's Most Powerful AI Was Just Shut Down by the U.S. Government. Here's What Happened

Imagine launching one of the most advanced AI systems ever built. The tech world is buzzing. Developers are eager to test it. Businesses are lining up to use it. Then, just days later, the government steps in and effectively pulls the plug. That's exactly what just happened to Anthropic.

Anthropic Asked 81,000 People What They Want From AI… The Answers Are Not What You Think

Let’s be honest, everyone is building AI like they know what people want. But what if they’ve been guessing wrong this whole time? Well, Anthropic decided to stop guessing… and just ask. Not 100 people. Not 1,000. Over 81,000 people across 159 countries. And what they found?

A Switch from OpenAI to Anthropic? In One of the Most Controversial Talent Moves in AI, the Vice President of Research at OpenAI Has Joined Its Rival

In the world of artificial intelligence, new models and flashy product launches usually steal the spotlight. But sometimes, the biggest story isn’t a new AI tool; it is the people building them. That’s exactly what’s happening now.

This Free Chinese AI Model Has Now Surpassed GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Grok-4

This week, a Chinese startup called Moonshot AI released a new model Kimi K2 Thinking and quietly flipped the leaderboard. In independent benchmarks that test reasoning, coding, and autonomous tool use, this free, open-source model didn’t just compete with OpenAI’s GPT-5. It beat it.
