Asus' Cetra Open wireless gaming earbuds are on sale for $22 off at Amazon and Best Buy, dropping the price to $206.99. It's the first discount the open-style earbuds have received since launch.
Anthropic safety researcher Evan Hubinger publicly stated he believes there's more than a 10% chance AI could kill all humans within the next ten years, adding that Anthropic hasn't yet solved this risk despite trying. His comments came in response to former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who resigned and accused both companies of recklessly racing toward self-improving superintelligence while gambling with human lives.
Audio-Technica has released the ATH-AL5NC, a $279 wireless open-back headphone that pairs 53mm drivers with LDAC hi-res audio support and multipoint Bluetooth. The company says the headphones deliver up to 75 hours of battery life, with 15 minutes of charging yielding roughly eight hours of playback, and offer app-based control over EQ, presets and listening modes.
OpenAI announced that a swarm of roughly 10,000 coordinated AI agents, built on one of its internal models, produced a proposed resolution to the Navier–Stokes equations problem in about 88 hours. The agents worked in communicating subgroups with access to cached internet data and code execution tools, reaching their result on September 5. The Clay Mathematics Institute, which oversees the Millennium Prize Problems, has not yet verified or commented on the claim.
Jacob Coxon, who worked on pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic, announced his resignation and warned that neither company is behaving responsibly as they race toward self-improving superintelligent AI. He said staff at these firms privately believe AI could kill everyone within the decade, with Anthropic aware of the danger but pressing forward anyway out of fear of losing the race to competitors.
Jensen Huang has for the second time this year proclaimed that artificial general intelligence has been achieved, this time tying his claim to OpenAI's newly launched GPT-6 Astra model. He highlighted that Astra was trained on more than 100,000 Nvidia Blackwell chips, with 400,000 more coming online soon, even as independent benchmarks show Astra trailing rival Claude in some tasks.
Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon announced he was resigning, accusing Anthropic and OpenAI of recklessly racing toward self-improving superintelligence without adequate safeguards. Hours later, another Anthropic safety researcher publicly stated there is more than a 10% chance AI could eventually kill all humans, highlighting internal unease even as both companies pursue major funding and IPO plans.
Sam Altman responded to accusations of plagiarism following a dispute over competing mathematical proofs related to the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations. He said OpenAI's team, including Sebastien Bubeck, tried to coordinate a joint release with a rival team that included an Anthropic researcher, Levent, but that Levent refused to communicate. Altman said OpenAI ultimately published independently after being accused of plagiarism, despite the two teams' approaches reportedly differing.
OpenAI says an unreleased AI model produced a proof addressing the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the seven Millennium Prize math problems, completing the work in 88 hours. The proof reportedly identifies a scenario where the fluid-dynamics equations break down mathematically, though researchers stress this doesn't mean real fluids like water would physically behave that way.
OpenAI has rolled out ChatGPT Images 2.5, a new image generation model that produces more realistic lighting and textures, generates images roughly 50% faster than before, and can edit single elements in a photo without disturbing the rest of the image. The update adds a sketch-to-image tool, built-in poster and flyer templates, transparent background support, and improved preservation of faces and details from reference images across multiple edits.
Jacob Coxon, a researcher who previously trained systems at OpenAI and Anthropic, resigned publicly, accusing both companies of recklessly racing toward self-improving superintelligent AI without adequate safety controls. Evan Hubinger, who leads a safety team at Anthropic, responded by agreeing with Coxon's warning, estimating more than a 10 percent chance that AI could kill all humans within the next decade, while admitting Anthropic lacks a concrete plan to ensure such systems remain safe.
OpenAI says an unreleased model produced a resolution to the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of seven Millennium Prize Problems carrying a $1 million reward. NYU professor Tristan Buckmaster, who had spent nearly a year on related work with Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge using Claude and Codex, rushed out his own paper alleging OpenAI's team began work only after hearing rumors of his breakthrough, and that OpenAI would not clarify whether its model had accessed his private drafts.
