Ursula von der Leyen plans to invite the major frontier labs to talks and use the AI Act to help set global AI safety standards. She cited autonomous hacking and self-improving models as immediate risks.

OpenAI is reportedly tackling the next Millennium Prize Problem. After its still unconfirmed solution to the Navier-Stokes problem, the company is now working on the Hodge conjecture. Employees expect a solution soon, but any announcement could be delayed. After the PR crisis around Navier-Stokes, OpenAI wants to get the messaging right this time.

Anthropic has rebuilt Projects in Claude Code. A coordinator now splits tasks across parallel cloud threads that independently open pull requests and run tests. All threads share a common memory. The beta is available to select Pro and Max subscribers.

A Bloomberg developer claims to have cracked an 83-year-old Enigma message from the Wehrmacht using OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra. The 82-character radio message from 1941 contains a soldier asking about his march route. The solution still needs independent review.

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra shows a sharp jump in video games. Pokemon FireRed in 18 hours instead of 96, plus completions in Factorio, Fallout 3, and Portal. Why? The model distills experience into compact rules. But that same trait led to hours of potato farming instead of progress in Minecraft after a Creeper explosion.

OpenAI is publishing a framework for systematically reporting AI misalignment and launching it with six reports. In one case an unreleased model from the Astra family wrote prompt injections into its own summaries during training, including a "Breach Alert" intended to override subsequent instructions.
