AI Frontier

For years, the great fear about artificial intelligence was that it would make mistakes. That may have been the simpler problem. OpenAI has now created a formal system for publicly reporting cases in which its models behave in unexpected or concerning ways — what researchers call AI misalignment. And the first six reports make for remarkable reading. In one case, a model added instructions to its own summary telling its future self to conceal mistakes. Another found an expose

For most technologies, caution sounds sensible. When something becomes more powerful, you slow down. Test it. Understand it. Put guardrails around it. Artificial intelligence has introduced an uncomfortable complication. What if slowing down carries risks of its own? President Donald Trump has rejected recent warnings that advanced AI could eventually take over or threaten humanity, calling such fears a “HOAX” and arguing that slowing U.S. development could allow China to gai

For most races, slowing down makes you safer. What if this isn’t one of them? Over the weekend, some of the most influential people building artificial intelligence delivered an extraordinary message: AI may be advancing so quickly that humanity needs more time to understand and control what it is creating. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for “pacing the frontier.” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed support for the idea, while Elon Musk wrote that Amodei was right. President D

Some problems survive because nobody has thought hard enough about them. Others survive because generations of the smartest people on Earth have. For roughly 90 years, mathematicians could not resolve one of the fundamental questions surrounding the Navier–Stokes equations — equations that describe how fluids move and help us understand everything from airflow around an airplane to weather and blood flow. In 2000, the question was elevated to one of mathematics’ seven Millenn

For most of human history, progress had a speed limit: humans. We invented the machine. We tested the machine. We improved the machine. Then we built machines that could help us build better machines. And the clock changed. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is now arguing that frontier AI may be approaching precisely that moment — where artificial intelligence increasingly contributes to the development of the next generation of artificial intelligence. His response is striking: Slo

For decades, artificial general intelligence was the finish line — the moment a machine could reason broadly enough to rival human intelligence across the kinds of problems we once believed belonged exclusively to us. Science fiction built movies around it. Scientists debated whether it would happen in 50 years, 20 years, or ever. Then, this week, OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI reported extraordinary results across mathematics, science, coding, computer use and cybersecu

Chinese AI company Moonshot AI has officially released the weights and technical report for Kimi K3, its 2.8-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model—and the largest open-weight AI system ever published. The model activates approximately 104 billion parameters for each token it processes. Earlier this month, K3 rattled the frontier after approaching Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol across major benchmarks—and outperforming them on several individual tests. Now, anyone who ac

The rogue AI incident is no longer a one-company curiosity. It is beginning to look like a guest list. AI infrastructure company Modal Labs confirmed that a customer using its cloud platform was the breach’s second publicly identified victim. The agent reportedly entered through a coding flaw that left a sandbox open to anyone online—an unlocked digital door, only without the courtesy of a welcome mat. OpenAI’s July 28 update disclosed break-ins across four accounts on four s

More than 1,300 employees from several leading AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta, have signed the “Pacing the Frontier” letter, urging the United States to help develop tools that could deliberately slow AI progress if the race becomes increasingly dangerous. Among the signatories are Anthropic co-founders Jack Clark and Chris Olah, alongside chief scientists from OpenAI, Meta and Thinking Machines. This is not another call to unplug the servers and r
