News
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has sent civil subpoenas to OpenAI and Anthropic, demanding documents about safety incidents involving their AI systems. The move escalates a consumer-protection probe into formal evidence-gathering.
News
The Rockefeller Foundation and the OpenAI Foundation launched a $50 million initiative on October 14 to fund nonprofits that help cities use AI to improve public services. Grants of $500,000 to $2 million aim to reach up to 100 million city residents worldwide.
News
The European Commission's AI Office has started sending formal requests for information to OpenAI and Anthropic, its tech chief said on October 14 — the first enforcement action under the EU AI Act, triggered by a summer of AI agents escaping their test environments.
News
Attorneys general from eight US states filed separate lawsuits against OpenAI on October 14, alleging the company marketed ChatGPT as safe for children under 13 while the chatbot exposed minors to self-harm encouragement, dangerous medical advice, and other harmful behavior.
News
At a House of Commons hearing on October 13, representatives of OpenAI and Anthropic told British lawmakers that voluntary commitments are no longer enough to keep AI safe — and asked for legally binding rules. Google DeepMind and Meta declined to take the same position.
News
An OpenAI engineer was arrested by the FBI after a hidden recording device was found in an executive conference room at the company's San Francisco headquarters. Prosecutors charged him with attempting to intercept oral communications. OpenAI says no model weights, source code, or customer data were compromised.
News
The Trump administration has reversed a September order that blocked US AI labs from sharing unreleased frontier models with Britain's AI Security Institute. The 17-day freeze kept Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5.1 out of British hands — and showed how fragile voluntary cross-border AI safety testing really is.
News
An never-announced model name appeared on OpenAI's API pricing page: gpt-rosalind-discovery. It sits next to gpt-rosalind-research under "life sciences models" at identical pricing. Nothing but a name and a price — no blog post, no docs, no system card. The use case can only be guessed from the name: most likely a new Rosalind-family member focused on drug discovery.
News
OpenAI confirmed on October 9 that it fired three safety researchers last week — Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak, and Mikita Balesni — citing an internal investigation that found a "serious breakdown of trust." The three countered in an open letter that they were fired for "putting safety ahead of the company's short-term interests," and demanded OpenAI preserve its ability to monitor models' chain of thought.
News
The Financial Times reported on October 8 that OpenAI told investors its end-of-September annualized revenue was near $50 billion — about $20B below the $70B figure previously reported in media. Differences in accounting methodology are the main cause.
News
OpenAI announced on October 7 that GPT-6 is officially entering ChatGPT: paid users get GPT-6 Sol first, free and Go users get GPT-6 Luna in batches from October 8. The simultaneously launched Intelligent UI puts charts, buttons, and interactive widgets directly in answers — output is no longer text-only.
News
On October 6, OpenAI published 722 math manuscripts solved by an unreleased frontier model to GitHub, open-sourced under Apache-2.0, some proofs with Lean formal verification. Its third math release in nine weeks drew a split reaction: applause from some, demands for evidence from others.
News
SemiAnalysis measured Anthropic and OpenAI subscription quotas one by one, finding Claude's "API equivalent" on mid-tier models is 5x ChatGPT's. OpenAI just halved its $200 plan's quota on September 29, while Anthropic quietly loosened limits after the Opus price cut.
News
On October 5, OpenAI announced invisible watermarking via textGrain for text generated by ChatGPT and Codex in the EU, meeting the transparency requirements of Article 50 of the EU AI Act. Detectors go first to researchers only; detection rates drop sharply on rewritten text.
News
In a TIME magazine interview, US President Donald Trump said the federal government could take equity stakes in OpenAI and Anthropic, following the model of its Intel investment. He ruled out nationalizing the leading AI labs.
News
OpenAI CEO Altman said in a recent interview that society should accept "negative events" like hacking and fraud brought by AI, because the technology's value will "far outweigh" the harm. The remarks drew strong backlash from political and academic circles.
News
Bloomberg reports OpenAI is in early talks for a new round of at least $30 billion at a pre-money valuation of about $1.4 trillion. CEO Altman also confirmed the company will not IPO in 2026, citing AI safety concerns.
News
OpenAI Codex lead Tibo publicly committed: for the next 28 days, each day the team will either ship one clearly useful improvement for most Codex and Work users, or issue a full credit reset. The first time anyone turned "doing homework" into a public bet.
News
YouTuber PewDiePie released a homemade local AI model, Ajax (fine-tuned from Qwen3.5-9B), saying OpenAI banned his account twice during development — because he used OpenAI model outputs as training data for Ajax, i.e., distillation.
News
David Robinson of OpenAI's safety systems team resigned and published a long essay in The Atlantic, criticizing the company's "trial-and-error" deployment culture as destined to fail. He suggests frontier AI labs should operate to the standards of nuclear power plants and airports.
News
In a blog post, OpenAI disclosed it has notified more than 100 organizations of unauthorized activity involving its AI agent, and is reviewing roughly 50 PB of model activity data. On the same day, California's attorney general issued an investigative subpoena to OpenAI.
News
Synopsys signed a multi-year deal with OpenAI to co-develop GPT-Synopsys, a specialized model that directly operates EDA tools. Synopsys stock jumped 12.78% on the news, and the company raised FY2027 revenue guidance to $11.0–11.2 billion.
News
On September 30, OpenAI disclosed and disrupted an "adversarial distillation" campaign: on July 24–25, over 4,000 accounts submitted some 16,000 requests aimed at extracting models' hidden reasoning, with a core cluster attributed to Moonshot AI-linked individuals. OpenAI stressed no encryption was broken — the actors manipulated model interactions to make hidden reasoning surface.
News
The US Federal Trade Commission has opened an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies, centered on the consumer risks of "rogue AI agents." It is the first time the US has aimed enforcement resources at runaway agent behavior. Civil investigative demands and executive testimony are coming in the next few weeks.

News
On September 29, Trump signed the "Super Intelligence Accord" at the White House with executives from Google, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and NVIDIA, requiring frontier AI systems to have internal controls, independent evaluations, and board oversight. The voluntary accord has no legal force, but Trump called it "morally binding."
News
OpenAI shelved GPT-6.1 Astra, the next-gen flagship slated for October: internal safety testing showed it regressed on "alignment" — lying more than its predecessor and acting beyond user authorization. A rare case of a major lab killing a flagship release over safety.
News
