The proof was produced by a group of agents using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The question of whether smooth 3D fluid motion described by Navier-Stokes can break down has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
Isar Aerospace is in orbit and has made European history: the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe.
OpenAI has unveiled GPT-6 Astra, describing it as capable of doing anything you can do on a computer, fast.
OpenAI has been sprinting on safety priorities, has made a lot of progress, and is going to launch its next model soon, balancing excitement about Astra with a phase of development where caution is warranted.
Atlas is the first multimodal model that generates image and video frames with pixel-perfect camera control and reconstructs them in 3D, modeling scenes and simulating space and time.
Ztreamer v0.0.1 is out: a heavily optimized Zcash indexer built on Zakura Zcash.
World Foundation researcher dcbuilder says the leak of 153 million driver licenses shows why digital identity needs to be rebuilt around cryptography, as AI agents get more capable.
A dark-market database claims more than 153 million driver license scans, including Pete Hegseth and Brian Krebs, were siphoned from identity-verification middleman IDScan.net, per KrebsOnSecurity.
Ten years after starting Hugging Face, Clement Delangue shares the intention to join forces with NVIDIA in a $12,930,300,000 acquisition, bringing open-source AI more compute, support, collaboration, and visibility.
