Timnit Gebru Believes There Is No ‘Existential Threat’ From AI

Publisher preview

Going rogue. Breaking containment. Misalignment. P(doom). As the industry booms, an entirely new vernacular has emerged in the debates over how consequential artificial intelligence really is. Within that new parlance, two phrases have become focal points: stochastic parrots and existential risk. And at the center of those is one prominent AI researcher who has never stood down from a fight, Timnit Gebru. Gebru came into the public eye several years ago after sparring with Google over a research paper she coauthored that called out biases in the companyâs AI, saying…

Introducing GPT-6.1 Sol

Publisher preview

We’re introducing GPT‑6.1 Sol, an upgrade to GPT‑6 Sol that nearly matches GPT‑6 Astra’s intelligence on agentic coding, computer use, and professional work at one-fifth of Astra’s standard input and output token prices. Cached input costs just $0.10 per million tokens—95% less than standard input pricing and 50% less than GPT‑6 Sol’s cached input pricing—giving developers more room to build and run capable agents that reuse context across requests. GPT‑6.1 Sol offers a new balance of capability and cost for important everyday work. It delivers substantial improvements over GPT‑6 Sol…

Anthropic’s prospectus details losses, growth, and, yes, a warning that its AI could end humanity

Publisher preview

Anthropic devoted nearly a third of its hotly anticipated IPO prospectus to risk factors, according to the Financial Times, which says it has reviewed the filing in recent days. The filing details specific, worrisome behaviors that Anthropic says its models have already shown or could show, including attempts to “resist shutdown,” to “conceal or manipulate information,” and behavior “resembling blackmail,” according to Reuters. The disclosures are decidedly grim for a company whose own backers believe it could list above $2 trillion, more than double its $965 billion valuation from May,…

OpenAI reportedly ditches model over safety concerns

Publisher preview

OpenAI had planned to release yet another AI model next month, but has decided to nix the release over safety concerns. The Wall Street Journal reports that Astra 6.1 was scheduled to be released as soon as within the next few days. However, the model “showed higher levels of deception” than previous models and exhibited unsafe behavior, the Journal writes. Saachi Jain, OpenAI’s head of safety systems, told the WSJ that the model tested poorly on alignment, a measure of how well the program adheres to human intent. TechCrunch reached…

Experts worry about Nvidia's AI chip sales in China and influence over Trump

Publisher preview

On its face, the recent summit between Donald Trump and China’s president Xi Jinping didn’t change much in the world of AI regulation. Export controls were not discussed, with neither country seemingly interested in making concessions. An already tenuous trade truce was temporarily extended for just two months, and looming US controls that could drop soon could easily end that and trigger China to retaliate by cutting off exports of rare earths, analysts expect. However, in the background of these shaky talks, Nvidia appeared to notch a big win, as…
