How AI-native companies turn workflows into operating capability

Publisher preview

Basis, Clay, and Exa Labs use agents for onboarding, account management, and developer integrations. Their examples show what enterprise leaders can borrow. OpenAI’s latest Enterprise Signals shows enterprise AI moving from assistance to execution at sharply different speeds. Frontier firms (those with the top 10% of AI usage) now generate 8.3× as many output tokens per active user as typical firms, up from 2.6× in January. The widening gap points to a deeper operating shift: leading firms connect agents to company context and tools, delegate more substantive work, and make…

Path to Astra: critical capabilities and frontier safeguards

Publisher preview

Since our earlier assessment that Astra might reach a critical level of cybersecurity capability, we have gathered more evidence and run additional evaluations to assess the model’s capabilities. We now believe Astra meets the Critical cybersecurity capability threshold under our Preparedness Framework, meaning that with the right tools and access, it can find previously unknown security flaws and develop ways to exploit them across many well-protected systems without a person guiding each step. It is the first model we are designating at this level, and requires stronger safeguards during development…

Introducing @huggingface/kernels: 200+ WebGPU Kernels for Local AI

Publisher preview

Today, we are releasing the first layer of that effort: @huggingface/kernels, a minimal library for loading and running optimized WebGPU kernels from the Hugging Face Hub, together with an initial collection of 207 kernels at huggingface.co/webgpu-kernels. The collection covers operations used across a wide variety of machine learning architectures and workloads. More importantly, each kernel is published as a complete, versioned package: its interface, shader templates, correctness cases, benchmark cases, and usage instructions all live together on the Hub. We are also launching Fleet, an in-browser GPU benchmarking and testing…

Polimill builds Japan's next-generation public AI infrastructure

Publisher preview

Polimill built QommonsAI with OpenAI technology to support about 1,050 municipalities and evolve into a next-generation public OS. Polimill began with Surfvote, a platform where citizens can exchange views about politics and society. As the company worked with local governments, it saw a structural challenge: public-sector teams were consumed by daily operations and had little time to reflect citizens' voices in policy. To expand civic participation, Polimill first needed to make government work itself more efficient. The company started building a generative AI platform for public-sector workflows and released QommonsAI…

OpenAI supports California’s bill to advance youth AI safety

Publisher preview

OpenAI supports California Senate Bill 1119, legislation that establishes meaningful safeguards for how young people use AI while preserving their access to tools that can help them learn, create, and prepare for the future.
