Elon Musk admits in a federal California courtroom that xAI used OpenAI's models to train its Grok AI through model distillation, defending the controversial practice as 'standard' in the industry amid growing legal battles over the technique.
Anthropic launches Claude Security in public beta while facing White House pushback over expanding its more powerful Mythos model, as both Anthropic and OpenAI race to deploy cutting-edge cybersecurity AI tools while restricting access to their most capable models amid growing national security concerns.
GPT-5.5 cracks an elite 32-step corporate cyberattack simulation and outperforms all previous AI models on expert cyber tasks, but a universal jailbreak bypassing its safety guardrails is discovered within six hours, prompting the UK government to announce new legislation and £90 million in cyber resilience funding.
Chip Huyen's GitHub repository 'aie-book,' supporting her 2025 O'Reilly book 'AI Engineering,' surpasses 15,400 stars and 2,200 forks, offering developers a comprehensive hub covering prompt engineering, RAG, agent building, finetuning, and hallucination mitigation for foundation model development.
Elon Musk admits under oath that his AI company xAI used OpenAI's models to train its Grok chatbot, even as he actively sues OpenAI in a California federal court over its shift from nonprofit to for-profit status.
A groundbreaking Harvard study published in Science finds AI outperforms doctors in emergency triage with 67% diagnostic accuracy versus 50-55% for physicians, and dominates long-term treatment planning at 89% accuracy compared to just 34% for human doctors, though researchers caution that unresolved safety and accountability concerns mean AI is not …
OpenAI's o1 AI model matches or outperforms ER doctors in triage, diagnosis, and clinical case management across 76 real emergency cases, according to a Harvard-led study published in Science, with researchers urging urgent clinical trials to explore how AI can partner with physicians to reduce errors and improve patient outcomes.
OpenAI's GPT-4.5 has been officially banned from spontaneously discussing goblins, gremlins, raccoons, and trolls after the model repeatedly brought up such creatures unprompted, with the quirky prohibition going viral and even CEO Sam Altman leaning into the joke as fans build 'goblin mode' workarounds.
Google DeepMind launches ProEval, a free open-source tool that slashes generative AI evaluation costs by up to 100x using Bayesian Quadrature techniques, achieving ±1% accuracy with a fraction of typical samples while proactively identifying model failure patterns across major benchmarks.
A groundbreaking new AI reasoning framework called LaDiR is outperforming all existing models across math and planning benchmarks by combining latent diffusion models with continuous representations to generate more accurate, diverse, and interpretable reasoning trajectories.
