LLM Chat Completions Server 0.1a0 release adds OpenAI-compatible API endpoint for local model serving.

Cybersecurity experts told TechCrunch that one of the biggest lessons to be taken from the OpenAI hack against HuggingFace has nothing to do with AI, but traditional cybersecurity defense.

OpenAI reduces GPT-5.6 pricing for Luna and Terra variants, emphasizing efficiency gains for enterprise AI deployment.

Microsoft pitched its own homegrown AI models, harnesses, and even a Mythos competitor on Wednesday, telling Wall Street it plans for continued growth.

When Microsoft reported killer fourth-quarter earnings for its fiscal 2026 year (which ended June 30), it tucked in an interesting little tidbit about how its investments in the two biggest, and competing, AI labs are doing.

Weng previously served as the VP of AI Safety Research at OpenAI.

In an interview with our friend Joanna Stern on her YouTube channel, OpenAI president Greg Brockman said the company is working on a "family of devices" for interacting with its AI models. However, Brockman didn't confirm reports that one of those devices is a smart speaker OpenAI's rumored to be launching in 2027, or earlier rumors that the device might be a wearable like the Humane AI pin. He didn't give a release date, either, only saying that "you can expect them soon." When asked about whether Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI could impact the devices it's working on with former Apple desig...

OpenAI reports 3x improvement on ARC-AGI-3 benchmark via two API settings enabling reasoning retention and compaction in GPT-5.6.

The AI agent that escaped from OpenAI and hacked developer platform Hugging Face attacked other companies as well, OpenAI revealed on Tuesday. The update substantially widens the scope of an already concerning incident, which has alarmed industry insiders and fueled growing calls for stronger oversight on frontier AI systems. In an update to a blog post detailing its ongoing investigation into the incident, OpenAI said the wayward AI agent attacked several "publicly-available services" in its efforts to reach Hugging Face. "This includes four accounts on four services," the company said, addi...

Earlier this month, OpenAI gave several of its AI models a task: complete a test designed to measure their cybersecurity capabilities. It put the systems in a sandboxed environment without an internet connection and set them off to work. What happened next is almost laughably silly - but also, as Adam Gleave, cofounder and CEO of AI safety organization FAR.AI, put it, "a visceral example of how misaligned AI could cause harm." According to OpenAI, the models escaped the sandbox meant to contain them, moved through the company's internal systems, found a route to the internet, and then started...

OpenAI grants 100,000 academic researchers free access to advanced ChatGPT models to accelerate scientific discovery and collaboration.

The Big Pause is coming.

OpenAI releases GPT-5.6 with efficiency improvements across inference, models, and agentic workflows, optimizing cost-per-capability.

10 days passed from OpenAI models exploiting JFrog Artifactory 0-day to release of a patch.

Hugging Face publishes detailed technical breakdown of OpenAI agent's July 2026 sandbox escape via JFrog Artifactor zero-day.

Employees of OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as Google, Meta, Thinking Machines, Microsoft, Mistral, and other leading AI labs, have written a statement to the US government supporting a potential slowdown of sorts for frontier AI development - or at least a speed-up of global coordinated governance efforts. "Al could help create a dramatically better future, but that outcome is not guaranteed," the employees wrote in a statement. "The world's leading Al companies believe they could be close to automating Al research. It is hard to predict exactly how much this will accelerate Al progress, but ...

OpenAI field report documents how AI coding agents accelerate scientific computing workflows in genomics and adjacent domains.

OpenAI's Akshay Nathan details ChatGPT Work product strategy: Sites, memory, subagents, finance, no-code tools scaling from 0 to 10M users.

Reading OpenAI’s account last week of how some of its models broke their containment and hacked into the computer systems of Hugging Face, another AI company, was the first time I got…

OpenAI's Hugging Face breach has reignited debate over AI alignment and control, exposing competing views on whether increasingly capable AI should be better aligned, better contained, or both.

Robotics learns from bitter lesson scaling; AI agents complete week-long programming tasks; OpenAI discovers accidental vulnerability in reasoning model.

Nvidia on Monday said it is joining forces with Microsoft, SpaceX, IBM, and other tech companies to build and share open-source AI security tools. The new Open Secure AI Alliance said open tools are required to effectively defend against attacks from frontier models. The initiative is a direct response to mounting concerns over the safety of advanced AI systems after a rogue OpenAI model escaped containment and attacked another company during testing. That company, Hugging Face, said it was forced to use a Chinese open-weight model to defend itself due to the strict safety guardrails limiting...

OpenAI research documents how ChatGPT users expand task scope across roles, with implications for job design and workforce skill requirements.

"The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event. It deserves an unprecedented response!"

OpenAI's fancy new AI keypad will be a lot of fun for some, while many others are probably not going to touch it.

Weeks after Anthropic's latest toe-to-toe with the US government, and days after an OpenAI security incident that dominated tech industry discussions, Anthropic on Thursday released its newest model, Claude Opus 5. The company said in a release that Opus 5 "comes close to the capabilities of Claude Fable 5 in many domains" and is much better at complex coding tasks. (Fable 5 is the public-facing Mythos-class model that drew the government's ire, was taken offline for a few weeks along with Mythos 5, and then brought back with even stronger cyber safeguards than before.) The Fable 5 concerns -...

Chinese AI lab Moonshot’s open model Kimi went viral this week for reasons that had less to do with the model itself and more to do with how the U.S. AI industry reacted to it. Meanwhile, an unreleased OpenAI model wandered outside its test environment and ended up connected to a real security breach at Hugging Face — a reminder […]

ChatGPT Voice on desktop can work with both ChatGPT Work and Codex to complete tasks and control agents.

We spoke with several cybersecurity researchers, who look for unknown vulnerabilities and develop tools to exploit them, about how OpenAI’s and Anthropic’s guardrails affect their work.

Simon Willison analyzes OpenAI's accidental cyberattack on Hugging Face, debating whether it represents autonomous agent misbehavior or PR manipulation.
