OpenAI published guidance on September 11 telling developers to strip back the instructions piled into skills and AGENTS.md for GPT-6 Astra. In the same week one developer left the model running unattended for 35 hours and got 75,000 lines of code and 79 commits that are hard for a human to read.
Habitat, the storage platform that feeds data to ChatGPT, grew to more than 70 million requests per second in two years. OpenAI says it held the service together on Python before rewriting it in Rust this past quarter with two engineers and Codex.
Google Research inverted the way training data for tool use is made. Building the question first and then hunting for an answer failed more than three times in ten; reversing the order took the pass rate to 99.8 percent.
Fugu Max routes each task to the leanest model that can solve it and undercuts rival output pricing by 40 to 60 percent. Fugu Ultra v2 posted its best scores with Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra kept out of its pool.
Google has agreed to take up to half of the Loviisa nuclear plant's output through 2050. Without the deal, the plant that supplies 10% of Finland's electricity was facing closure in 2030.
The Agents API hands OpenAI the runtime that drives Codex, and it is now in public beta. Sessions and context management become OpenAI's job while your application only picks tools and an execution environment, though the data still sits in the United States alone.
Cognition's SWE-2 takes China's Kimi K3 and runs it through another round of reinforcement learning. The company says it lands within a point of Fable 5.1 while costing 64% less.
The product was shaped alongside Morgan Stanley and Evercore. Paid financial data is built into it, so firms do not have to negotiate separate contracts.
Anthropic published a 154-page report exposing unauthorized distillation by seven Chinese AI labs. But as the company itself admits, distillation is legal — the real problem isn't the stolen accounts, it's your conversations.
A graduate student worries that a research idea shared with a chatbot could become someone else's answer, and an alien who reached Earth first replies with a story about empty rooms and expiration dates.
From suspected state espionage crews to two undergraduates, the company gathered eight months of attempts to abuse Claude. Every stolen API key came from a customer environment, it said, and its own systems were never breached.
The voice model that debuted inside ChatGPT is now available to developers. Callers can cut in mid-sentence without breaking the conversation, and the heavy reasoning is handed off to whatever model sits behind it.
