Turns out OpenAI will burn $22.5M of compute to win a math argument. Hours after NYU professor Tristan Buckmaster announced three proofs toward the Navier-Stokes problem, one of seven Millennium Prize problems, the lab published a full proof from an unreleased model that chewed through 300 billion output tokens. Buckmaster says OpenAI built on his work before it was public.

OpenAI just released ChatGPT Images 2.5, a new image model that cuts generation time by up to 50% over Images 2.0, brings upgrades to editing, and introduces features like sketch, templates, and shared images. OAI said 2.5 is “better at editing only what you’ve asked for,” avoiding the often awkward broader changes to the full image that have plagued previous models.

Anthropic hired Jacob Coxon from OpenAI in July, and a few hours ago the 27-year-old walked out of the company and out of the industry. Both labs are building AI that improves itself, and nobody has worked out how to keep such a system controlled. Evan Hubinger, who tests Anthropic's safety methods for holes, backed him up, and the company still has no plan for handling a system smarter than people.

Google's data centers are getting their own zombie power plant. The Energy Department handed NextEra Energy a $1.9Bn loan to refurbish Iowa's Duane Arnold Energy Center, mothballed since a 2020 storm wrecked it and now due to restart in 2029. It's the second loan of its kind after Three Mile Island. Google is reportedly eyeing up to six data centers nearby.
