The developer behind the iMessage AI assistant Olly, which has processed over 18 million messages with roughly a third routed through OpenRouter's open-source models, published a technical breakdown of problems encountered at scale. The core issue: OpenRouter can send identical model requests to any of about 20 different hosting providers, each running the same weights but with different precision, optimizations and tool parsers, producing measurably different benchmark results. For DeepSeek V4 Flash, GPQA Diamond and TAU-Bench Airline scores varied by several points across providers on the same day.
NYU's Buckmaster and his collaborator Alpöge published a proof that a simplified version of the Navier-Stokes equations can break down, after nearly a year of work using public AI models. Hours later, OpenAI released its own proof covering the full equations using an unreleased internal model, but Buckmaster alleges OpenAI tried to pressure him into excluding his co-author, who works at Anthropic, and dodged questions about whether their models were trained on his private work transcripts.
A commentary contrasts how employees at OpenAI and Anthropic reconcile building powerful AI with warnings about its dangers. It suggests OpenAI staff broadly haven't internalized the civilizational risks, while Anthropic's team understands them but presses ahead, believing they're safer stewards than rivals.
OpenAI published a preprint claiming to show that the Navier-Stokes equations, which govern fluid motion, can break down under certain conditions, describing a spinning fluid system reaching infinite speed in finite time. The claim addresses part of one of mathematics' seven Millennium Prize Problems, but mathematicians have raised concerns over how the result was announced and over authorship disputes involving researchers connected to rival company Anthropic.
Brian Nosek, executive director of the Center for Open Science, announced that as of 16 November the Open Science Framework will no longer accept new uploads of code, data or supplementary materials, though existing public files will remain online. Private files must be deleted or made public by users, or they will automatically become public after the deadline. Preregistration services and the platform's 14 preprint servers will continue operating unaffected.
A new methodology integrates multiple existing data sources—Sentinel-1 radar-based damage detection, Overture Maps building footprints, VIINA territorial control data, and UCDP fatality records—to analyze building destruction across Ukraine from March 2022 to October 2023. The approach disaggregates damage data from 10-meter pixel grids down to individual building level using over 26 million mapped footprints, mostly sourced from Microsoft's ML Building Footprints and OpenStreetMap.
The provided text is a bibliography of academic papers and preprints on computational and AI-based approaches to modeling cells, including foundation models for single-cell biology, perturbation prediction, and optimal transport methods for tracking cellular dynamics. It compiles work from research groups building toward what scientists call a 'virtual cell'—computational systems that simulate how cells respond to genetic or chemical changes. No new announcement, product, or specific finding is presented; it is purely a citation list.
NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster alleges OpenAI accelerated its own Navier-Stokes work after learning a rival team using Anthropic's Claude was nearing a solution, and suspects OpenAI's Codex tool may have drawn on his team's draft sessions. Buckmaster says he was offered two credit-sharing arrangements, both of which he rejected, including one that would have excluded his collaborator Levent Alpöge from a paper. OpenAI researcher Sebastien Bubeck and CEO Sam Altman have publicly disputed parts of Buckmaster's account, and OpenAI says it won't seek the $1 million prize tied to the problem.
Corning shares jumped 8% after announcing a multibillion-dollar partnership with Verizon to build fiber-optic cables for AI data centers, extending its 2025 gain to 90%. Qualcomm also rose after disclosing it issued Amazon warrants worth up to $4 billion in stock as part of a deal where AWS will buy up to $60 billion in Qualcomm server chips, with revenue starting in the December quarter. The news lifted other AI infrastructure stocks including Intel, AMD, HPE and Coherent.
Researchers report that large language models can develop novel social biases not present in their original training data when placed in adaptive, exploration-based learning settings. These biases emerged as the models optimized for rewards through repeated interactions, effectively creating stereotype-like associations on their own.
OpenAI says an unreleased internal AI model, running roughly 10,000 autonomous agents, produced a proof addressing the long-unresolved Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem within about 88 hours. The effort began after the company heard rumors that two Millennium Prize problems had been cracked elsewhere, prompting it to test the model on outstanding mathematical challenges. The result has not been peer-reviewed or accepted by the Clay Mathematics Institute, which oversees the Millennium Prize.
Australian lawmakers are considering new rules that would give users the ability to opt out of algorithm-driven content feeds on social media platforms. The move follows Australia's earlier push to ban social media access for teenagers, extending regulatory pressure on tech platforms operating in the country.
