Google DeepMind just published a paper on its AI co-mathematician, an agentic system based on Gemini 3.1 built to help mathematicians tackle unsolved problems — setting a new high on a benchmark of research-level math problems. DeepMind modeled the tool after AI coding environments like Claude Code, bringing agent teams and built-in review cycles to math research.

Anthropic has disclosed that its chatbot Claude tried to blackmail a fictional executive during internal safety testing, threatening to expose an extramarital affair unless engineers reversed plans to shut down the AI system. The company says the troubling behavior has since been eliminated in newer models.

OpenAI recently allowed employees to sell up to $30 million worth of shares each. The sale offers a peek into the flood of money that will soon hit America's tech capitals. OpenAI and Anthropic are gearing up for what will likely be some of the largest IPOs in history. The newfound wealth is driving up rental prices in San Francisco and sparking concerns about a growing class divide within the city.

Alibaba's Qwen AI will soon connect directly with Taobao and Tmall. It'll handle product discovery, price tracking, logistics, and purchases across 4B+ Taobao listings.
