Mira Murati Drops Her First AI Model After Leaving OpenAI—And It's Fully Open Source

Mira Murati left OpenAI in September 2024 to do her own thing. Almost two years later, that exploration shipped. Thinking Machines Lab, the company she founded, released Inkling—a multimodal AI model trained entirely from scratch, with every weight available for free download. When OpenAI's board fired Sam Altman in November 2023, Murati—then CTO—was named interim CEO. Altman was reinstated five days later, Murati returned to CTO, then left for good roughly 10 months after that. She founded Thin...

OpenAI Uses AI Red Team to Strengthen GPT-5.6 Against Prompt Injection Attacks

OpenAI has introduced GPT-Red, an automated AI system designed to find security vulnerabilities in its language models. GPT-Red takes its name from cybersecurity red teaming, which is the practice of deliberately attempting to break a system to identify weaknesses before attackers can exploit them. In a post on Wednesday, OpenAI said the tool helped make GPT-5.6 more resistant to prompt injection attacks before deployment. “As model capabilities grow, safety and alignment must scale with them,”...

Meet Bonsai: The First 27B AI Model That Fits on Your Phone

I models eat up a lot of memory. A 27-billion-parameter AI model, considered medium-sized by industry standards, needs roughly 54 GB of memory to run on half precision. Most laptops can't hold that. Some desktop rigs can't either. Earlier this week, PrismML released one at 3.9 GB—small enough to fit on an iPhone. Parameters are the number of dials and tweaks a model can handle. The more parameters, the denser and more capable a model is. Bonsai 27B is the first 27B-class model to clear the memo...

DeepMind CEO Says AGI Will Be Bigger Than Electricity or Fire

For the second time this year, Demis Hassabis predicted that artificial general intelligence would arrive before the end of the decade. This time, however, he said it won't simply be another technological breakthrough—it will rival the discovery of electricity or fire. In a blog post published Tuesday on X, the Google DeepMind CEO said AGI is "probably only a few short years away," describing it as a technology that could reshape human civilization. “When we look back on this time in the decades...

Stop Over-Prompting: OpenAI’s New GPT-5.6 Guidelines Change Everything

OpenAI published a new prompting guide for GPT-5.6 Sol, its newly released flagship model, and the main message will feel wrong to anyone who spent the last year writing multi-page system prompts: stop writing so much. The core idea is outcome-first prompting. Define what good looks like, set the stopping conditions, and get out of the way. Detailed how-to instructions, repeated style rules, examples that don't change behavior—all of it is now considered noise. OpenAI backs this with numbers: I...

Protesters March on OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind Demanding AI Development Pause

Protesters again took to the streets of San Francisco, marching between the offices of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, calling for a pause in the development of more powerful AI. Saturday's demonstration, organized by Stop the AI Race, went beyond AI safety to include concerns over job losses, the environmental impact of AI, rising housing costs in San Francisco, and the growing influence of major technology companies. Organized by former AI researcher Michaël Trazzi, the march called on...

Claude's Personality Changes Depending on the Model—And the Language You Speak

Claude doesn't behave the same way in every conversation. According to new research published Monday, AI giant Anthropic found its assistant consistently expresses different values depending on both the model users choose and the language they speak. In a report published on Monday, Anthropic researchers analyzed 309,815 anonymized user conversations with Claude involving subjective tasks like giving advice or providing feedback. The company said it distilled more than 3,300 identified values in...

This Is How Much Your Boyfriend Is Spending on AI Girlfriends

People are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on AI girlfriends, and the trend doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. According to data provided to Decrypt by analytics firm Appfigures Intelligence, NSFW and romantic AI companion apps across Apple’s App Store and Google Play have generated 165.3 million downloads and $427.3 million in consumer spending worldwide since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. “The rankings are categorized by type and reflect either downloads or gross consumer s...

How to Make Product Ads With AI for TikTok and YouTube—For (Almost) Free

TikTok Shop, the ecommerce platform that allows users to buy and sell things directly on TikTok, moved $64.3 billion in merchandise in 2025, nearly doubling from the year before. The U.S. alone accounted for $15.1 billion of that, and most of it was driven by short, cheap, face-to-camera videos of someone holding a product and telling you why you need it. Those videos used to require a person, a phone, decent lighting, and several takes. These days, though, all you need is a product photo and th...

Nano Banana 2 Lite vs. Nano Banana 2: When to Save Your Money and When to Upgrade

Google last week launched Nano Banana 2 Lite—officially gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image—as the entry point in its image generation stack, sitting below Nano Banana 2 and well below Nano Banana Pro. It delivers text-to-image outputs in roughly four seconds, 2.7 times faster than Nano Banana 2, and is positioned as the direct replacement for the original Nano Banana (gemini-2.5-flash-image). The explicit pitch: same Google ecosystem, less money, less waiting. The model is available through Google AI S...

AI Agents Could Be Turned Into Botnets Through Hallucinations, Researchers Warn

AI hallucinations may be more than incorrect answers—they could become a way for hackers to compromise computers, according to new research from Tel Aviv University, Technion, and Intuit. In the paper, “Beware of Agentic Botnets: Scalable Untargeted Promptware Attacks via Universal and Transferable Adversarial HalluSquatting,” researchers demonstrated a technique that exploits AI models when they generate fake links to software repositories and other online resources.  “The growing adoption of...

Ethereum Foundation Turns AI Loose on ETH Network to Find Bugs Before Hackers Do

In a blog post on Thursday, Ethereum Foundation researchers on the Protocol Security team said they have deployed a series of AI agents against the software Ethereum relies on, hunting for vulnerabilities in cryptographic systems, protocol code, and smart contracts. “We've been running coordinated AI agents against the kinds of systems the network depends on, like systems software, cryptographic cod...

OpenAI Releases GPT-5.6 Sol: Here’s How It Stacks Up Against Other AI Models

OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol is now public. The company released its new flagship model to general users today, launching alongside two smaller siblings, Terra and Luna, after the U.S. Department of Commerce kept a preview restricted to about 20 trusted partners for two weeks. The naming strategy is new for OpenAI. This is the first time the company gives names to its models instead of simply using numbers. Sol, Terra, and Luna mark capability tiers that can move on their own cadence. Sol is the flagshi...

It targets coders, engineers, and what the company calls "knowledge workers"—a category that apparently covers everyone from software developers to lawyers reviewing contracts to finance teams building Excel models. The company’s pitch isn't that it's the best model. It's that it's cheap, for a western model at least....
