OpenAI released 722 manuscripts covering 372 families of mathematical results, produced by an unreleased frontier model, including solutions to what the newly formed Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AGMAI) describes as 'hundreds' of open problems. The release includes reasoning summaries, compute estimates, and claims that the average result required roughly three hours of ChatGPT Pro-level compute. AGMAI, a group of mathematicians formed to oversee communication of such results, had earlier urged AI labs to disclose model names, prompts and compute costs, and to avoid treating math breakthroughs as marketing tools.

Google disclosed that attackers hijacked DNS infrastructure of three country-code top-level domains — .gh, .sl, and .as — and used that control to obtain unauthorized TLS certificates for several Google domains and other major brands.

An entrepreneur building a savings and investment app for young families describes how pursuing partnerships with large financial institutions early on slowed the company down, as months of meetings and compliance reviews diverted attention from existing customers. The piece outlines a three-question filter for evaluating opportunities—whether they pay off within 90 days, fit the company's current stage, and justify the trade-off—and extends this discipline to investor advice, funding terms and high-profile partners.
Amazon maintains a customer-facing page called 'About You' that compiles inferred personal details about shoppers, including physical characteristics, hobbies, favorite brands, and even behavioral quirks drawn from shopping and browsing activity.

A 2025 cyberattack on Oracle Health compromised personal and medical records for almost 20 million people, including 3 million Texans, according to a Texas attorney general report cited by Bloomberg. The attacker allegedly used stolen credentials to access old Cerner servers before their data was migrated to Oracle's cloud, copying Social Security numbers, addresses and medical information. Oracle began notifying affected customers in March 2025, but neither Oracle nor the AG's office has named which hospitals or clinics were impacted.
