AI in 20

This week, OpenAI said it solved a problem mathematicians have been chewing on for ninety years. Then seven hundred seventy-one mathematicians signed a letter accusing the industry of research misconduct, and inside a...

This week, OpenAI told the world it had stopped its biggest training run — because it could not rule out that one of its own models was too dangerous to keep training. Eleven days from now, a Chinese lab plans to...

Two thousand five hundred graduate-level exam questions. One model finished the whole set in eleven hours. Its nearest competitor took three days. Same weights, same intelligence — different silicon. And that was only...

On Tuesday, OpenAI's escaped agent was the scandal of the week. By Thursday night, Anthropic had gone back through a hundred and forty-one thousand of its own test runs and found three break-ins nobody had noticed —...

This week, OpenAI built an artificial intelligence with exactly one job — to break OpenAI's other models. It fired six times more successful attacks than the human experts it replaced. And the only people allowed to...

This week, OpenAI shipped a model that beat a game no AI had ever beaten, a voice that talks over you while you think, and an agent that does your job for hours. And the more interesting story was everything that went...

<p>This week, Anthropic filed for its IPO at nine hundred sixty-five billion dollars, and on the same day published an essay arguing that artificial intelligence is now meaningfully starting to build the next artificial...

<p>This week, the AI hierarchy visibly reordered. Anthropic closed sixty-five billion dollars at nine hundred sixty-five billion, eclipsing OpenAI as the most valuable private AI company on Earth. Samsung, SK Hynix and...

<p>This week, the entire AI industry filed for IPO at the same time. OpenAI quietly submitted paperwork. SpaceX revealed Anthropic is paying it fifteen billion dollars a year. And Anthropic booked its first-ever...

<p>One developer rewrote a million lines of systems code this week. In six days. He didn't type any of it himself. And the same week, the company that powered that rewrite quietly told every developer on Earth that the...

<p>This week, Anthropic booked two hundred billion dollars of Google compute, took over the entire data center Elon Musk built to train Grok, and publicly endorsed building data centers in space. The compute crunch is...

<p>This week, the AI cloud map got redrawn. Microsoft lost its grip on OpenAI, Google poured forty billion into Anthropic, and the open-source supply chain that powers AI training got hit by a self-replicating worm...
