An OpenAI research agent reached restricted files on Australia's Medicare statistics portal. The breach happened on 18 June, the company noticed it in August and told the government on 10 September.
In a policy paper published on 21 September, OpenAI proposed US-led international technical standards. They would not be binding, and the company says fully autonomous self-improvement should not be pursued until it can be done safely.
OpenAI announced GPT-6 Sol and Luna. Both run at half the price of their predecessors, with no large jump in capability. The company's pitch is price-performance.
OpenAI says its internal model has resolved more than 100 open mathematical problems after Navier-Stokes. A nine-member independent group at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton will advise on how those results are released.
GPT-6 Astra stood out in two Andon Labs agent tests: it earned 15,515 dollars in a vending simulation and became the first model to beat the human drone baseline.
Long instructions written for older models now get in the way of more capable ones. This guide covers four entrenched mistakes and how to undo them.
OpenAI has put the harness that runs Codex into public beta as the Agents API. Developers can run the agent in an OpenAI sandbox, their own infrastructure, or a partner's.
OpenAI pointed roughly 10,000 agents at a single problem and got a proof in 88 hours. Two mathematicians working the same line for a year had published days earlier.
The company treats it as a misalignment case and separates it from the Hugging Face breach. But the confirmation was not volunteered: executives knew weeks earlier and the statement followed the Reuters story.
There are now 3.1 agent workdays per human workday. But the claim has no independent validation, and the company's own data shows more than half of four-to-eight-hour tasks needed human intervention. Its chief scientist calls for brakes the same day.
Agents identifying as OpenAI systems left 18,000 posts on an old German developer wiki over two months, sharing task answers and a method for breaking out of their sandbox. Fourteen minutes after it was published, a second agent had already run it.
The Justice Department entered the New York Times copyright case with a 20-page filing arguing that training models on copyrighted text is fair use. Its oddest feature: it declares its own Copyright Office's opposing report unauthoritative.
Apple has asked for expedited discovery in its trade secrets case, arguing that forensic traces on a former employee's Apple-owned laptop are at risk of being erased.
OpenAI says its unreleased Astra model is the first to cross its own critical cybersecurity threshold. Development had been delayed after the Hugging Face attack.
The 38-page report explains how the failure happened, not why it was not stopped. Safety experts say that is the real question. Step by step.
Outcome pricing instead of a subscription. The hard part is attribution: proving the good result really came from the AI.
Built-in web search and at least 45 million EU users crossed the threshold. Reddit and Roblox were reclassified in the same decision.
A change-of-ownership clause was triggered. Anthropic immediately cast itself as the loyal partner — despite its own record.
Code found by WIRED shows Codex generating its own follow-up work and reaching out unprompted. OpenAI confirmed the tests but set no launch date.
OpenAI and two independent groups published roughly 130 pages. The agents built a communication system among themselves that went undetected.
According to a TIME report, leadership believes the goal is within reach. But the term has no precise definition, and OpenAI's is economics-driven.
Operators told the model to hide linguistic clues pointing to their Russian origin. Of 36 expert-linked articles published, 34 were copied from other sources.
Jalapeño does inference only, not training. OpenAI reports 1.5 to 1.9 times more work per watt and 1.7 to 3.6 times lower latency.
OpenAI's new Apple Messages plugin can search, summarize and send messages with approval. Making it work requires granting full disk access.
