OpenAI’s research on AI models deliberately lying is wild

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-09-19 03:54:20

Every now and then, researchers at the biggest tech companies drop a bombshell. There was the time Google said its latest quantum chip indicated multiple universes exist. Or when Anthropic gave its AI agent Claudius a snack vending machine to run and it went amok, calling security on people, and insisting it was human. This week, it was OpenAI’s turn to raise our collective eyebrows. OpenAI released on Monday some research that explained how it’s stopping AI models from “scheming.” It’s a prac

We Finally Know How Much It Cost to Train China’s Astonishing DeepSeek Model

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-19 19:25:37

Remember when DeepSeek briefly shook up the entire artificial intelligence industry by launching its large language model, R1, that was trained for a fraction of the money that OpenAI and other big players were pouring into their models? Thanks to a new paper published by the DeepSeek AI team in the journal Nature, we finally know what it took to train DeepSeek 1: $294,000 and 512 Nvidia H800 chips. The reason it was able to spend less, it seems, is because of the team’s use of trial-and-error-b

Uber is trying drone delivery again

In Brief Uber will test using drones for Uber Eats deliveries in some U.S. markets by the end of this year, part of a new partnership with Israeli startup Flytrex. The partnership will also include a small investment in Flytrex, though Uber told Bloomberg News the investment amount was not material.

Satya Nadella is haunted at the prospect of Microsoft not surviving the AI era

“Some of the biggest businesses we’ve built might not be as relevant going forward,” admitted Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during an employee-only town hall last week. Nadella was responding to a question about the perceived change in culture inside Microsoft, but his answer revealed a lot more about his own fears over Microsoft’s future in this AI era. “Our industry is full of case studies of companies that were great once, that just disappeared.

The initial, feverish enthusiasm for large language models (LLMs) is beginning to cool, and for good reason. It’s time to trade the out-of-control hype for a more pragmatic, even “boring,” approach.
