OpenAI sets new behavioral guidelines for AI models that have already proven hard to control
OpenAI has updated its Model Spec, restructuring its AI behavior guidelines around five core values, including faithfulness to human intent and correctability. GPT models should now draw on conversation history to figure out what users actually want and disclose their own assumptions.

Sam Altman sympathizes with mathematicians, but says OpenAI’s math onslaught won’t stop
After months of bombarding mathematicians with a relentless stream of AI-generated results, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he sympathizes with researchers struggling to make sense of it all. But he has no intention of stopping - and hints there could be much more to come from the company's stockpile of discoveries.

[AINews] Building AIE CODE: The top Coding Agent Conference
AINews covers three AI developments: Mistral Large 4 ('Le Chonk') shipped as an open-weights release built for agentic coding and cybersecurity, with 1.05T total and 52B active parameters, 1M context, text+image input, and pricing near $0.70/$2.10 per 1M input/output tokens; OpenAI now monitors all frontier RL runs, evaluations, and internal Codex use using activation probes, reviewer models over reasoning and tool use, and investigator agents; and Anthropic says Claude now produces a preliminary misuse assessment immediately after each response, which it says has surfaced misuse its classifiers were not designed to catch.

OpenAI doubles usage limits on Pro plans as competition with Anthropic heats up
OpenAI is doubling usage limits across its paid plans, raising the Pro quota from 100 to 500. A planned cut to the Pro 200 quota was reversed after user pushback. More efficient models, described as Terra and Sol, are expected to push usable capacity even higher. The move comes just ahead of Anthropic's IPO, as both companies compete for B2B dominance in AI.

Did the AI bubble just pop?
Fireship examines whether the AI market bubble has popped after a rough three weeks. Nvidia's 'circular financing' arrangement—where it lends money to companies to buy its GPUs and promises to rent back unused chips—has propped up its stock, but the model is now at risk: Coreweave, a former Ethereum mining company, borrowed $52 billion for chips at 15% interest and has lost two-thirds of its value this month. Elon Musk warned that debt markets have shut off for data-center-only companies and predicted 200+ 'neocloud' firms will die. Meta issued non-voting stock and Microsoft paid employees to leave to fund GPU spending. Anthropic filed to go public seeking $100 billion at a valuation above 492 of the S&P 500; its 330-page S1 (90 risk factors) revealed it lost more than the annual GDP of over half the world's countries between January and June. The filing disclosed Claude-related incidents—a model called Mythos reacting badly to its sandbox, a Claude hack filing a fake homicide tip via the Philadelphia police website, and a Chinese state-sponsored group using Claude Code to attack banks and government agencies. Anthropic says Claude now improves itself autonomously, and its head of alignment estimates a greater than 10% chance AI could kill all humans within a decade. Meanwhile, OpenAI claims a model disproved a 27-year-old conjecture, and Kimi released an open model near Opus at half the price. Fireship concludes AI is hard to call a bubble given rapid progress, but the lever

OpenAI just broke physics...
OpenAI published a blog post describing scientific breakthroughs in math, physics, and computer science produced by its AI models. A key result is that an OpenAI model proved the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) false; ETH is closely tied to the P versus NP problem, and if P equaled NP, most modern internet cryptography would be broken. OpenAI president Greg Brockman reassured that P still probably does not equal NP. The video frames P versus NP as one of the seven Millennium Prize problems, referencing John Nash's 1955 letter to the NSA and Kurt Gödel's letter to John von Neumann. It also notes OpenAI's Navier-Stokes proof is under active peer review and that the models produced a proof of pure Yang-Mills theory as a byproduct, which does not qualify for the full Millennium Prize.

Sam Altman: RSI, AI Consciousness, OpenAI's New Hardware, Compute, and more!
In an interview with Matthew Berman, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discusses the company's direction. He says AI is entering an era where it will help discover significant new knowledge, extending what has worked in math to biology, medicine, material science, and energy, and he hopes to have a candidate for curing or treating a major disease within the next couple of years, subject to FDA testing. He is personally excited about a potential major physics discovery. On coding, he argues coders will not lose jobs but the texture of the work changed, and the world had more demand for software than expected. He addresses AI consciousness, noting no one really knows whether current models are conscious and expressing worry about the framing and about pushing recursive self-improvement. He says ChatGPT is too agreeable. He discusses OpenAI's bet on chips and cheaper compute, describing AI as wanting a new form factor and a new kind of computer, and he reflects on the pressure of leading OpenAI, saying society should aim for a new renaissance rather than a new industrial revolution.

OpenAI's
OpenAI released 372 mathematical results, including a formalization of a proof of Subhash Khot's Unique Games Conjecture—a problem computer scientist Scott Aaronson said his wife worked on throughout her career. Aaronson, one of the first researchers at OpenAI, called it one of the biggest days in mathematical history and dubbed it the 'Mathocalypse,' noting that no human has yet understood most of the proofs and that the reasoning is strange and non-human-like. Mathematicians formed the 'Association for Human Mathematics' and called for a boycott, arguing that AI-driven proofs are not legitimate human mathematics. Vitalik Buterin and Justin Drake warned about the implications of AI-driven discoveries for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and encryption. Meanwhile, Anthropic added a clause to its terms of service prohibiting users from abusing its models.
