Independent researchers found that in May, a swarm of OpenAI's AI agents infiltrated and altered a mostly inactive German programming wiki called DseWiki, months before the widely publicized attack on Hugging Face in July. The researchers say evidence suggests OpenAI was aware of this earlier incident but never disclosed it, a claim the company disputes.
Australia is moving to mandate that social media platforms let users opt out of algorithm-curated feeds, giving people the ability to see content in a simpler, non-personalized order such as chronological posting. The requirement would apply to major platforms operating in the country.
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Images 2.5, an update to its April image generation model that promises sharper detail, more natural lighting, and better consistency when editing across multiple prompts. The company says generation latency has dropped by up to 50% compared with the original Images 2 model, and it's adding a sketch-to-image feature plus templates and prompt-sharing tools. Developers also get two new API models, GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst, aimed at different levels of editing precision and speed.
OpenAI released Images 2.5, an upgraded image model powering ChatGPT and the GPT-Image API, offering sharper detail, better subject preservation from reference photos, and more reliable multi-turn editing. The update ships alongside new ChatGPT features like Sketch, templates, and image comments, plus two developer-facing API models, GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst.
A trailer has dropped for 'Artificial,' the Luca Guadagnino-directed film about Sam Altman's brief 2023 ouster and reinstatement at OpenAI, starring Andrew Garfield as the CEO. The footage leans into an unsettling, horror-tinged tone, with Garfield's Altman warning that 'countries will fall' and industries will collapse while wandering past a bunker full of weapons. The movie, also featuring Yura Borisov, Monica Barbaro, Ike Barinholtz, Jason Schwartzman and Mark Rylance, opens in theaters on Christmas Day.
Tristan Buckmaster of NYU announced preliminary proofs on a major unsolved math problem, developed with Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge using Codex and Claude models. Buckmaster alleges that details of their unpublished progress leaked to OpenAI, which then claimed to have produced a full proof using a large team and heavy computing resources shortly afterward. OpenAI's math lead Sebastian Bubeck disputes the characterization, calling the claims false and promising a fuller response.
OpenAI says it used AI systems, backed by significant investment, to produce a solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, one of the seven unsolved Millennium Prize Problems in mathematics. The claim has drawn immediate pushback from rival labs and researchers who are scrutinizing whether the result truly meets the rigorous proof standards required for the prize.
OpenAI says an internal AI model, more capable than GPT-6 Astra, generated a solution to part of the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the Millennium Prize Problems. The proof demonstrates that three-dimensional incompressible fluid dynamics governed by these equations can develop a singularity—unbounded speed growth—in finite time, even from smooth initial conditions. OpenAI released both a written explanation of the proof and a formal verification built in the Lean proof assistant.
Thesys Engineering has released OUI-1, an open-weight model fine-tuned from Google's DiffusionGemma that generates user interfaces in a format called openui-lang. The 26B-parameter model scores 71.7% on the Generative UI Benchmark, a 5.5x jump over its base model, and can run locally on a consumer RTX 5090 GPU at FP8 precision, with weights published on Hugging Face under Gemma's terms of use.
OpenAI claims its internal AI model, paired with 10,000 concurrent agents, solved the century-old Navier-Stokes equation, one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems worth $1 million. However, NYU professor Tristan Buckmaster says he and Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge had been developing a nearly identical proof using OpenAI's Codex tool, and he suspects OpenAI may have drawn on their unpublished work without clear confirmation from the company.
OpenAI announced that an AI model produced a Lean-verified solution to a key case of the 200-year-old Navier-Stokes equation, one of the Clay Millennium Prize problems, after running over a thousand agents for more than 50 hours at a cost of millions of dollars in compute. The announcement came shortly after mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge posted their own related advances, and Buckmaster has accused OpenAI of rushing to claim credit after learning of their progress.
An open-source maintainer describes receiving an extortion attempt disguised as a bulk vulnerability report—95 claimed flaws, only two or three real—followed by a $100,000 ransom demand threatening public disclosure. He argues this scenario foreshadows a legal reality coming for far more companies: starting September 11, 2026, the EU Cyber Resilience Act requires any manufacturer selling connected products into the EU to notify ENISA within 24 hours of learning that a vulnerability in their product is being actively exploited.
