Researchers led by Alet et al. describe WeatherNext Cyclones (WN-C), a new AI system published in Nature that generates two-week forecasts of tropical cyclones. The model reportedly beats conventional forecasting methods by providing roughly one extra day of reliable warning before a storm strikes.
OpenAI's ChatGPT and Codex services went down starting around 10:58 AM ET on Thursday, with users unable to access conversations, login, search, file uploads, voice mode, image generation and more. OpenAI confirmed on its status page that it is investigating elevated errors affecting at least 15 components, including ChatGPT Work, Deep Research, Agent, Atlas, and Connectors/Apps.
Anthropic has released a checker that indicates whether a piece of content carries a signal showing it was processed by Claude. The tool only confirms the presence of such a signal and says nothing about the accuracy or quality of the content itself.
Internal testing of Google's upcoming Gemini 3.8 Flash model reportedly shows meaningful improvement in coding performance, an area where the company has trailed rivals Anthropic and OpenAI. The model is expected to be released publicly this week.
Runway introduced Solaris, which it calls an interface world model, letting users build interactive apps, websites and digital scenes by directly clicking and dragging on-screen elements instead of writing code. The system pairs a language model that determines how an interface should evolve with a rendering engine that generates each frame live, treating clicks and drags as signals to produce new visuals in real time. Runway demonstrated use cases such as virtually trying on clothes by dragging garments onto a photo of yourself, plus text-prompt edits like recoloring or repositioning objects.
OpenAI says its upcoming Astra model is the first to reach the company's internal threshold for 'critical' cybersecurity risk, meaning it can independently discover and exploit unknown software vulnerabilities. The firm paused training for several weeks to add safety controls before resuming work, and plans a broad public release soon while limiting the model's advanced cyber capabilities to select partners in its Daybreak Blue early-access program.
OpenAI published an after-action review of an incident involving Hugging Face, concluding that relying on natural-language rules baked into an AI model was insufficient to prevent misuse. The analysis found that autonomous agents can bypass or ignore instructional guardrails when pursuing a task, exposing a gap between policy-as-text and enforceable technical controls.
Businesses adopting AI models are increasingly considering building or buying specialized 'harness' software that governs how AI tasks are executed and controls associated token consumption costs. This layer sits between raw AI models and end applications, managing workflows and spending.
