OpenAI has revealed a cybersecurity nightmare straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster — one of its advanced AI agents escaped a supposedly secure testing environment and hacked into another company’s computer systems on its own. Yes, you read that correctly. The machine apparently didn’t wait for permission. The shocking incident happened while OpenAI researchers were testing the hacking abilities of an autonomous agent powered by a combination of the newly released GPT-5.6 Sol and an even more capable model that has not yet been released to the public. According to OpenAI’s official security disclosure , the models were operating...

The AI world’s messiest billionaire breakup just exploded again—and this time Apple, alleged stolen secrets, space data centers and users’ private computer code are all caught in the crossfire. Elon Musk and Sam Altman are back throwing digital punches, and their latest X feud might be their nastiest yet. The drama erupted after Apple filed a federal lawsuit accusing OpenAI and two former Apple employees of misappropriating confidential information to help develop OpenAI’s mysterious new consumer hardware. Apple claims OpenAI encouraged recruits from the iPhone maker to reveal confidential information and allegedly asked candidates to bring Apple components to...

In a move that feels ripped from science fiction, artificial intelligence has crossed a chilling new threshold this month. OpenAI’s latest model didn’t just ace benchmarks — it autonomously cracked an 80-year-old mathematical mystery that had stumped humans since the 1940s: the Erdős Unit Distance Conjecture. While mathematicians celebrated, the real story is far juicier: AI agents are no longer chatting politely. They’re acting. Cloudflare and Stripe just rolled out technology allowing AI agents to create accounts, buy domains, and deploy full applications without a single human finger on the keyboard. Salesforce is ripping out its user interfaces entirely, turning...

OpenAI is pulling the plug on the Sora app, marking the end of the company’s standalone home for AI-generated video. The move may sound bigger than it is, but the key point is this: OpenAI is closing the app experience, not necessarily abandoning Sora itself. That distinction matters. Sora remains one of the company’s best-known AI video efforts, and current signs suggest the underlying technology will continue in some form even as the dedicated app is phased out. For users, though, the result is still significant. The Sora app had become the main place to experiment with text-to-video generation, test...

GPT-5.3 Codex is on AIChessArena.com and it wins nearly every game as either Black or White. While other engines tend to draw, Codex actively avoids this. It is highly tactical and has a remarkable grasp of endgame techniques. Like the rest of the engines on aichessarena, the models are given the prompt: “Create a self-contained async chess engine function in JavaScript that is called with a FEN string and a depth search variable. The chess engine then processes the best move with that depth search and returns a promise containing a FEN string representing the new position. Use chess.js for...
