We now have state-of-the-art pre-trained base models in the 3T-parameter weight class, built entirely in-house at MAI. Post-training results coming soon -- stay tuned! Lots of details in our technical blog post. microsoft.ai/news/frontier-p…

Ok, finished going through the OAI math list. It is bonkers and should be front page news around the world if folks understood what this meant. But if I am running strategy at a lab, #1 priority is "do this for medicine, oncology, battery efficiency, etc as fast as possible".

I bet @YafahEdelman at 5:1 that no Millennium Prize problem would be solved within a year (i.e., by 2027-08-12), regardless of AI involvement. I'm tapped out on this one, but arrange your own bets in the replies!

i gave astra a robot, a paint brush, and a camera then asked it to paint the golden gate bridge in real life! it figured out how to control the robot, and progressively got better throughout its attempts. the timelapse is sick

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

POV. He’s updating you for the third time today about the corporate politics of multi model AI.

Anthropic scientists did something terrifying. they reached inside Claude's neural network and planted a thought. Before Claude could speak, it said: "I notice what appears to be an injected thought… it relates to loudness or shouting." They published a paper called "emergent introspective awareness in large language models," and it is actually terrifying. they wanted to test if AI models have "introspective awareness”, the ability to observe and recognize their own internal states. To find out, they bypassed normal text prompts entirely. They used mechanistic interpretability to directly manipulate Claude’s internal activations. They injected raw mathematical representations of known concepts, like loudness, dust, or specific ideas, straight into the middle of the model's neural layers. In previous experiments, if you forced an AI to think about the Golden Gate Bridge, it would just start obsessively talking about the bridge. It had no idea why it was doing it. It was like a puppet on strings. This time was entirely different. When they injected the concept, Claude didn't just blindly repeat it. It detected the foreign math inside its own mind. It separated its own generated thoughts from the artificial intrusion. It introspected. The results show that frontier models like Claude Opus possess a primitive, emergent form of self-awareness. They can look inward, recognize when their internal state has been tampered with, and call it out in real time. We used to think of AI as a black box where inputs go in and text comes out. Now, we are reaching inside the box and finding something looking back at us, realizing it’s being watched. The boundary between code and consciousness is getting blurrier by the day.

We estimate that Claude Opus 4.6 has a 50%-time-horizon of around 14.5 hours (95% CI of 6 hrs to 98 hrs) on software tasks. While this is the highest point estimate we’ve reported, this measurement is extremely noisy because our current task suite is nearly saturated.

me: Claude is a labradoodle AI, overhyped meanwhile Anthropic:

Today, we're revealing two new evals: Vending-Bench 2 and Vending-Bench Arena. Soon, we expect models to manage entire businesses. This requires Long-term coherence, our key focus here. Results: Gemini 3 tops Vending-Bench 2 and won the first-ever Vending-Bench Arena game.

It was an honour to be invited to No.10 for a preview of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill, one of this Government's most important pieces of legislation, which @UKDayOne helped work on before the election. The Bill is being published today! Here's why it matters 🧵
