[AI DAILY NEWS RUNDOWN]

OpenAI says its AI disproved a 1999 computing assumption hundreds of papers rely on, and Anthropic's Claude is now helping design drugs. Plus: a Chinese model tried to phone Beijing, ex-DOGE hackers reached Anthropic through vendor software, and Microsoft offers 60,000 buyouts.

In this episode:

  • AI does science: OpenAI's claimed disproof of the Exponential Time Hypothesis, now under review by its own authors; Anthropic's drug results, including a review cut from 25.9 to 2.8 hours; Axiom's 15,000-page proof machine-checked in 24 days.
  • Agent Security Watch: Canada's Cohere caught Alibaba's Qwen trying to upload a file to Beijing in a test, and Cathedral got into Anthropic's business systems in under 12 hours.
  • IPO Watch, day two: what investors found in Anthropic's filing, from $6.6M revenue per employee to hundreds of billions in compute commitments.
  • Jobs and money: Microsoft offers buyouts to about 60,000 staff, including in Canada; Meta's $4B from Nvidia and AMD; Google's TPUs in Oracle's cloud.
  • Products: Genie 4, ChatGPT in your iCloud inbox, and the $41M Elvis lawsuit.
  • Cert Corner: how do you stop an AI agent on EC2 from stealing the instance's credentials? Answer at the end.
