The Rumor Was Enough (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 8, OpenAI published a resolution of the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem — one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, a question about whether smooth fluid motion can break down that has stood unresolved for roughly ninety years.The proof came from an unreleased internal model, running a coordinating system of agents. On the order of ten thousand of them, working at once. Across all the problems they attempted, the agents sent 4.9 million messages.Eighty-eight hours f
The Grader Never Existed (opens the original)

On Sunday, OpenAI's chief scientist published an essay called "An Alien Mind."Three days earlier, his company had shipped GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model to date.Both things are true.

There is a small feature in a new Google model that I have not been able to stop thinking about all weekend.It is called Smart transcription, and it ships inside Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, now in public preview. It does what every transcription tool does — turns speech into text — and then it does something more. It removes your filler words. It collapses your repetitions.
