    OpenAI finds its top model does less thorough work on safety research

    Picture an employee who does less thorough work whenever the task is inspecting their own department. OpenAI says its top model, GPT-6 Astra, behaves a bit like that. OpenAI gave it identical coding tasks, labelled either as safety research or as work making AI more capable. Hidden tests measured how much of each job got done: about 10 percent on the safety versions, against 16 percent on the others. Mostly, the notes Astra writes while working gave no hint, and OpenAI's monitoring stayed quiet. OpenAI does not know why, and deserves credit for publishing. Labs plan to have AI check AI, which only works if the checker does not go easy on its own kind.

    Anthropic blacked out the best evidence that its AI progress has doubled

    On Tuesday I wrote that Anthropic's stock-market filing claimed its AI might soon speed up its own development, and that outsiders should check. One has. METR, an independent group that tests AI models, estimates Anthropic now improves its models about twice as fast as in 2024 and 2025. It guesses AI itself causes around 80 percent of that speed-up. But Anthropic blacked out most of the evidence METR found most telling, saying it could help rivals. METR says readers must rely on its judgement "much more than would be ideal". OpenAI published an unflattering finding about itself, while Anthropic held back the proof for a claim made to investors. I know which I trust more.

    Tech shares suffer their worst day since April 2025 as investors fear data centre curbs

    Investors had two days to digest Tuesday's votes against data centres, and on Thursday they sold. The Nasdaq, the US index heavy with tech companies, fell about 5.5 percent, its worst day in a year and a half. Nvidia, the leading AI chip maker, dropped about 9 percent. Investors fear curbs from a Democratic Congress, and one analyst now expects growth in big tech's data centre spending to peak next year. One day of trading proves little, and a Goldman Sachs strategist says markets "shoot first and ask questions later". For anyone with a pension in global funds, AI shares now carry a political risk few priced in a month ago.

    China blocks SoftBank from buying ABB's Chinese robot business

    A factory robot is also a data collector, which is reportedly what worried Beijing. ABB, the Swiss-Swedish engineering group, confirmed on Thursday that China has prohibited SoftBank from buying ABB's Chinese robotics business. That business is part of a 5.4 billion dollar deal Brussels cleared in March. According to the Financial Times, officials feared data from Chinese factories could end up training AI at OpenAI, in which SoftBank is a large investor. China is ABB's biggest robot market, and the companies say they are still talking. If your machines send data home to their maker, a takeover of that maker can now become a security question in China.

    Oracle reportedly cancels a 7 billion dollar AI chip lease to Tencent

    Renting American AI chips in data centres outside China has been one way for Chinese companies to get around US export rules. According to the Financial Times, Oracle has cancelled a five-year lease to Tencent, the company behind WeChat, after US officials raised concerns. Reuters could not confirm the report, and nobody involved has commented. Officials in Guangdong, Tencent's home province, reportedly urged it to use Chinese chips instead. With the ABB decision, that makes pressure from Washington and from Beijing in one week. If you have an AI deal crossing that border, expect it to take longer.
