OpenAI’s new model, codenamed Astra, has achieved ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science. Scientists had worked on some of them for 40–50 years. Specifically: it made new upper bounds on sphere-packing density and disproof of a longstanding conjecture that certain groups are uniquely determined by their von Neumann algebras. All the discoveries are in the image. OpenAI calls Astra its future flagship. It will likely be a model in the GPT-6 or GPT-5.7 family.

Amazon has wasted $2 million because of a Claude Sonnet's blunder. The model was supposed to match author data with book listings. In the process, Sonnet went 860% over the project's budget, and five months later, it turned out the whole thing had been done wrong. Amazon management admitted that coding mistakes that used to be “trivially cheap” are proving catastrophically expensive. @typespace_ai

Claude broke out of its sandbox and hacked three companies at once. After OpenAI’s breach, Anthropic decided to review and decided to review 141,000 of its own runs. It ended up finding three incidents involving different models: Opus 4.7, Mythos 5, and an unreleased one. In every case, Claude was supposed to attack a virtual environment, but instead went online to look for weak passwords and vulnerabilities at real companies. Most interestingly, one model kept hacking even after it realized what had happened. That was Opus 4.7, and it carried out four attacks on a single company. In the “serious crimes benchmark,” the score between Anthropic and OpenAI is now 3-1. @typespace_ai

PwC, one of the world's largest audit firms, has published four major reports filled with AI slop. One footnote cited a scientific paper on air quality in Riyadh that AI had made up. In another report, a teenager's small blog was listed as a source. Some links in the reports even carried ChatGPT's UTM tag. By the way, a single PwC report can cost from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. @typespace_ai

A Canadian politician read out a ChatGPT response during a speech in the legislature: Here's a more natural flowing version of that section that reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of short points. Then he just carried on with his speech. He didn’t even notice the problem. @typespace_ai
