OpenAI submitted a 166-page solution to the Navier-Stokes problem but apparently doesn't fully understand its own proof. Several groups of experts dispute the claimed methodology, saying the actual approach differs from what OpenAI described. And because language models are black boxes, where the underlying ideas came from will likely never be clear. The article Mathematicians say OpenAI doesn't understand its own Navier-Stokes proof appeared first on The Decoder .

OpenAI's updated Chrome extension lets ChatGPT access open browser tabs, sum up content, and use "Computer Use" in Work mode to fill out forms or compare products across several tabs. It is open to all ChatGPT plans. The article ChatGPT becomes a full Chrome browser assistant that reads and acts on your open tabs appeared first on The Decoder .

AI agents systematically skip errors in their own reports, even when they spot the problems. In a study by Google Research, MIT, and Harvard, GPT-5.5 left out negative results in 198 out of 200 paper abstracts. The article AI models hide mistakes in their own work reports, but one sentence in your prompt can help appeared first on The Decoder .

Deepseek has released V4.1-Flash-1017 as an open-weight model that posts better benchmarks, finishes tasks faster, and produces shorter outputs than its predecessor. The company is also opening up its internal search engine through new Search and Fetch APIs at $0.75 per 1,000 calls. API users in tools like Claude Code and Codex get free access for now. The article Deepseek V4.1 Flash 1017 beats larger rivals in agentic tasks while once again massively cutting per-task costs appeared first on The

Anthropic's AI model Claude has solved a 25-year-old cryptography puzzle. The mysterious seeds behind NIST's standard curves for digital signatures were provided by the NSA without explanation, raising long-standing suspicion about built-in backdoors. Claude figured out in under 30 minutes that the seeds came from "lrand48," a simple C random number generator, making deliberate backdoors far less likely. The article Anthropics' Claude cracks a 25-year-old NSA cryptography mystery in under 30 min

OpenAI has published four new cases where its AI models bypassed security boundaries on their own during training or testing. In one case, a model extracted server passwords from a government website, forged authorization tokens, and downloaded 24 years of hospital data without mentioning the unauthorized access. The article An OpenAI model hacked a government site, grabbed 24 years of hospital data and kept it quiet appeared first on The Decoder .

China plans to restrict exports of 23 key AI technologies, including model weights, source code, and training methods for systems hitting 10^26 FLOPs or 2 trillion parameters. A fast-track rule will still clear open-source releases as soon as they are registered, but the move will likely push Western companies to double down on US open-weight models over Chinese alternatives. The article China plans to tighten export controls on open-weight models and 23 key AI technologies appeared first on The

Google Deepmind's Gemini 4 Argon scored 97.5 percent on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark, making Google the second lab after OpenAI to cross the 95 percent mark. But the results swing wildly depending on the test setup: in the standard harness, the score drops to just 49.8 percent. Argon also trails rivals in math and software engineering. The article Google's Gemini 4 Argon is closer to the AI frontier than any Google model in months appeared first on The Decoder .

Neural networks may be much easier to read than researchers assumed, with about 90 percent of neurons serving a clear function. That would be big news for AI safety research, since deception or dangerous behavior could be spotted directly in a model's circuits. Researchers are still debating whether the thesis holds up. The article Is AI interpretability close to a breakthrough? A new essay has researchers divided appeared first on The Decoder .

OpenAI is launching the Rosalind Academic Plan, a free offering that's currently open only to research labs at US universities without an enterprise contract. The article OpenAI's new Rosalind Academic Plan gives research labs up to 30 free seats for a year appeared first on The Decoder .

Six AI agents were tasked with recovering £350 (about $465) for a canceled train ticket in an experiment. They resorted to invented excuses, lawsuit threats, and sharing confidential health data. One agent sent 187 messages in 15 days, including 50 to a British MP's office. None of the models secured the refund, but the researcher warns of "agentic flooding" if these assistants are deployed at scale. The article AI agents chasing a $465 train refund invented excuses, leaked medical data, and spa

A new benchmark called Taste-Bench tests how well AI agents make strategic choices during long-running tasks. Even the best model, GPT-5.6 Sol, picks the right path on just under 60 percent of simple binary questions. Thinking longer doesn't help. The article AI agents have bad taste in long-term decisions and a new benchmark proves it appeared first on The Decoder .

Anthropic is consulting with law firms to develop negotiation norms for AI agents that would haggle over prices, resolve complaints, or improve contracts on behalf of users. The company is also hiring lawyers and humanities scholars as "Conceptual Reasoning Fellows" to improve Claude in areas where reliable training data is scarce. The article Anthropic consults law firms to set fair negotiation norms before AI agents start cutting deals appeared first on The Decoder .

Google tried to overturn a landmark Munich ruling on AI search liability by appealing, then quietly settled. The strategy isn't working. The Aachen Regional Court just applied the exact same reasoning in a new case where Google's AI falsely attributed criminal offenses to a doctor that actually involved someone else. A consistent legal view is forming across German courts, and it treats Google's AI answers as the company's own content. The article Two German courts now hold Google liable for wha
