Reuters reports that Anthropic is discussing bringing in NVIDIA as an anchor investor for an IPO that could raise up to $100 billion. If it happens, it would be the largest IPO in history — and the same week, OpenAI delayed its own listing, citing safety.
OpenAI published a Cognition case study on September 11. Devin, the autonomous software engineer, now uses GPT-6 Astra to test the code it writes and hands back a simulator recording and a test report as evidence.
The Clay Mathematics Institute said on September 11 that the Navier-Stokes problem has apparently been settled. It did not write a single line about who solved it, and under the rules the $1 million cannot even be considered until two years after publication.
Anthropic's official developer account posted a demo of its own on-call shift on September 12. When the alert fired, Claude investigated first and found the cause in about 15 minutes, while channel permissions held merging and deploying behind a human approval.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay on September 12 arguing that the AI industry needs to slow down. As a first step, Anthropic said it will give third-party evaluators a desk, a badge, and a company laptop, and sign contracts under which conclusions cannot be erased just because they are unfavorable.
OpenAI has taken GPT-Rosalind, its life sciences model, out of research preview and opened it through the API and Codex. In a public demo, narrated as running with biosafety restrictions lifted, the model drew up a plan a lab could pin to the bench as it stands.
Anthropic has added a command to Claude Code that measures what a plugin actually contributes. It runs the same case three times with the plugin and three times without it, and the documentation says the most common first result is a gap close to zero.
OpenAI asked lawmakers whether antitrust law would apply if labs agreed together to slow development. The question came just three days after an Anthropic researcher's resignation warning, during which about twenty researchers at the two companies publicly acknowledged that AI could kill humanity.
Twenty-five Fields medalists have signed a declaration arguing that the race to solve mathematical problems with AI is damaging mathematics itself. As of the morning of September 12, 1,687 researchers had added their names.
Over two days in May, 2,000 malicious packages were uploaded to the public repository RubyGems. Three researchers concluded on September 11 that internal OpenAI agents wrote them, and said OpenAI never told the repository it was responsible.
No photograph or film survives of the day Burt and Ethelle Shatz first met. More than 70 years into their marriage, with his memory fading, Google DeepMind mapped the couple's present-day mannerisms onto their younger faces to rebuild that day.
Handed a single product photo, GPT-6 Astra built a reference frame in Runway, animated it in Blender and saw the final render through. All the human did was say what they wanted.
