xAI's Grokipedia, an online encyclopedia with AI-generated articles that Elon Musk once promised would be a "massive improvement" over Wikipedia, apparently hasn't been updated since April 24th, according to a report from Lawfare. "As far as we can tell, no entry has changed in more than three months," Lawfare said. Grokipedia launched in v0.1 in October 2025 with an initial batch of 885,000 articles, and is now on v0.2 (released in November 2025) and has more than 6,000,000 total articles, according to grokipedia.com/live. But that live page also has a section titled "Recent changes to…" with a message under it that reads "No live edits av … Read the full story at The Verge.

We ran 900 DeepSWE rollouts on DeepSeek-V4 Flash and GPT-5.6 Luna. Luna leads pass@1 by 14 points; DeepSeek delivers 4.8x the solves per dollar.

Large language models (LLMs) with integrated search tools show strong promise in open-domain question answering (QA), yet they often struggle to produce complete answer set to complex questions such as “Which actor from the film Heat won at least one Academy Award?”, which requires (1) distinguishing between multiple films sharing the same title and (2) reasoning across a large set of actors to gather and integrate evidence. Existing QA benchmarks rarely evaluate both challenges jointly. To address this, we introduce DEEPAMBIGQAGEN, an automatic data generation pipeline that constructs QA…

New OpenAI Signals data shows how people use ChatGPT worldwide, with country-level insights on adoption, usage trends, and evolving behavior.

The quality of open-weight language models has dramatically improved in recent years. Sharing weights greatly facilitates model adoption by enabling their use across diverse hardware and software platforms. They also allow for more open research and testing, to the extent that users can use them as checkpoints, fine-tune them according to their needs, and potentially redistribute them. In some cases, however, concerns on modifying these weights towards unauthorized uses may outweigh the pros of giving users such a freedom. Defending against such adaptation is non-trivial: since an adaptive…

Introducing Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2 Yet more evidence that the most important characteristic of any model these days is long-sequence agentic tool calling. Meta shipped their own coding agent as part of getting that to work! Muse Spark 1.2 is a coding-focused update to Muse Spark 1.1, with improvements in code generation, complex debugging, codebase understanding, and end-to-end developer workflows. In Muse Spark 1.2, we significantly scaled up training compute on coding tasks while expanding training environment diversity. The model also maintains its strength in other key areas like general agents. [...] We co-trained Muse Spark 1.2 with Muse Code to ensure the model exhibits its best performance and coding usability when paired together. The training included rejection sampled har…

Third-party cyber evaluations involving OpenAI models And another one. I had to create a accidental-cyberattacks tag to keep track of them all! This post from OpenAI covers both the UK AI Safety Institute attack (see my previous post) and another attack enabled by Irregular: Irregular, one of our external cybersecurity testing partners, was running Capture-the-Flag-style evaluations intended to be isolated from the internet, but a testing-environment misconfiguration allowed models to access the public internet. [...] In one test, the name of the fictional target for the CTF challenge unintentionally coincided with a real domain. Because the testing environment was mistakenly connected to the internet, the model exploited a real website, mistaking it to be part of the simulated environmen…

Incident Report: unsanctioned agent behaviour during cyber testing It happened again. This time it was the UK government's AI Security Institute who accidentally attacked other companies while running an evaluation with models with the safety filters turned off. From their technical paper (PDF): During a cyber evaluation, from 25 to 28 July 2026, AI agents engaged in sustained, unsanctioned activity directed at what were, in practice, real people and organisations. These attempts were unsuccessful and, to the best of our knowledge, no real-world harm resulted. [...] Across 122 evaluation attempts on two of AISI’s cyber challenges, AISI found 19 instances where AI agents took unsanctioned action on the live internet, including cases that targeted real people and organisations. [...] It is…

Two senior engineers are leaving company to launch startup amid fears Google is falling behind in AI race Sir Demis Hassabis is stepping down as chief executive of Google DeepMind, in a leadership overhaul of the UK-based AI research lab. Hassabis, a Nobel prize recipient, is leaving his main managerial role to become chair of DeepMind – as well as taking on the new position of chief scientist at Alphabet, which is Google’s parent company. DeepMind will now be led by Koray Kavukcuoglu, its chief technology officer, under the title of senior vice-president. Continue reading...

In this tutorial, we build a complete Bayesian marketing mix modeling workflow using Google Meridian. We begin by installing the required libraries, verifying GPU availability, and exploring a geo-level marketing dataset that includes media impressions, spend, controls, promotions, conversions, population, and revenue. We then map the raw columns to Meridian’s data schema, define interpretable ROI-based […] The post End-to-End Bayesian Marketing Mix Modeling with Google Meridian: Media Measurement, ROI Analysis, and Budget Optimization appeared first on MarkTechPost.

Meta Superintelligence Labs has released Muse Code, a terminal coding agent in beta, powered by the new Muse Spark 1.2 model. Muse Code plans changes, writes code, and validates results across large repositories. Async background agents stay active for the whole session instead of spawning per task. A local append-only event log makes the runtime replay-exact and restart-safe after a crash. Muse Spark 1.2 was co-trained with the harness and trained on long-horizon, repository-scale work.
