    OpenAI says an unreleased model solved ten problems mathematicians had given up on

    Mathematicians call a problem open when nobody has moved it in years. On Saturday OpenAI published solutions to ten of them, found by Astra, a model it has not released and you cannot test. Every proof sits on GitHub in a form a computer can check by itself, which is the one real safeguard here. Thomas Bloom, who catalogues open problems for a living, called it big news while noting the model was trained on everything mathematicians have ever written. What OpenAI will not say is how much humans shaped each run, and that silence is why the International Mathematical Union signed an openness demand in June this release does not meet.

    Your chatbot has to admit it is a chatbot, starting today

    Run a chatbot or put AI-made images in your marketing, and today it stopped being your choice. The European Commission started enforcing the AI Act this morning, and the transparency rules landed with it: a bot has to tell people it is a bot, and anything AI made or altered has to be labelled and carry a hidden marker machines can read. Fines run to 3% of global turnover. OpenAI and Google both signed the Commission's code, then warned the marking technology is immature and the markers often vanish when content is cropped or reshared. The rule has arrived ahead of the tooling that makes it work, and you carry the risk meanwhile.

    Y Combinator gave away the AI system it runs its own company on

    Y Combinator, the investment firm behind Airbnb and Stripe, has given away the AI system it runs its own company on. QM does the accounting, legal work, events and engineering there, including the work of building QM itself. Every employee gets an assistant that turns up as a colleague in shared chat channels, and three safety settings let you make a human approve every action. It is free, it runs on your own servers, and you can swap the underlying model whenever you like. Most tools in this class handle one user at a time, so if you have wanted a credible way to put agents into your back office, start here.

    Anthropic raises the price of its mid-range model while OpenAI cuts

    Three days ago OpenAI cut the price of its everyday model by 80%. Anthropic, its closest rival, is going the other way: the introductory rate on Claude Sonnet 5 runs out at the end of this month, and from September the same model costs half as much again. Anthropic has not called it an increase, because technically a discount simply expires, which is the tidiest way to raise a price ever invented. If you built on Sonnet 5 and modelled your costs at today's rate, September will be a surprise. The two big labs are pulling in opposite directions on price at the exact moment both claim their biggest capability jumps yet.

    Washington now gets to see frontier AI models before you do

    A deadline passed on Saturday that almost nobody marked. Under an executive order signed in June, US agencies had until 1 August to stand up a voluntary process where AI companies hand the government early access to a new model, up to 30 days before anyone else sees it. There is no licence and no permission step, and joining is optional. OpenAI's Astra is expected to be the first model through it, which tells you how optional it really is. Once a federal review becomes a selling point in government procurement, the smaller labs that cannot afford the process discover that voluntary has teeth after all.
