Summary
OpenAI claims a powerful unreleased AI model has solved one of math's greatest unsolved problems, the Navier-Stokes equation, using 10,000 agents over 88 hours, though a credit dispute clouds the milestone, as both OpenAI and Meta race to dominate AI with new product launches including Meta's always-on personal agent Muse and OpenAI's faster, more capable ChatGPT Images 2.5.
Key Points
- OpenAI claims its unreleased internal model, described as significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra, has solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem using 10,000 AI agents over 88 hours, though a credit dispute with mathematicians Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge is overshadowing the breakthrough.
- Meta launches Muse, a new always-on personal AI agent with a text message-style interface that connects to apps like Gmail, Spotify, and OpenTable, offering browser navigation and task automation with subscription tiers of $20 or $100 per month for U.S. users.
- OpenAI releases ChatGPT Images 2.5, cutting generation time by up to 50%, improving targeted editing, and introducing new features like sketch-to-image and shareable prompts, with its two new API models ranking first and second on Arena AI's image leaderboards.
