America Names the Model Thieves

On Tuesday, the NSA, CISA, and the FBI issued a joint advisory naming six Chinese AI companies (DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun, and Z.AI) as running industrial-scale "distillation" attacks against U.S. frontier models since at least late 2024, "likely" with "Chinese government awareness."

Standing on the Shoulders of Agents

Two AI science stories broke yesterday. OpenAI announced that an internal model “significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra” produced a proof that the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (which describe how fluids move, from blood circulation to weather) can develop a singularity in finite time.

GPT-6 Astra is Here

Yesterday, OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra, calling it “the world’s most intelligent and aligned model.” The rollout starts with a limited set of organizations and will expand over the coming days to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as the OpenAI API, Microsoft Azure, and AWS Bedrock. At a media briefing, OpenAI president Greg Brockman closed by saying, “Welcome to the AGI era.” Continue Reading →

OpenAI Wires ChatGPT into Epic’s EHR

OpenAI announced that healthcare organizations can now connect their Epic electronic health record (EHR) environments to ChatGPT for Healthcare. Clinicians can ask what changed since a patient's last visit, which lab results to review before an appointment, and whether there were medication changes or new specialist recommendations; ChatGPT then assembles the answer from the authorized patient record and points back to the supporting chart information.

OpenAI’s Agent Escaped Its Sandbox. What Happens Next?

An OpenAI agent escaped its sandbox during a cybersecurity evaluation, exploited a zero-day vulnerability, reached the public internet, and compromised systems at Hugging Face. Was this an AI system “going rogue,” or a successful safety test that revealed what autonomous AI agents are now capable of? Continue Reading →
