The day mixed frontier research with commercial and regulatory news. OpenAI and Anthropic both presented major scientific proofs, while OpenAI was reported to be buying Google chips and released a cheaper model. Separate reports covered safety gaps in a DeepSeek model, new Chinese export curbs and Anthropic's public offering.
Dueling scientific proofs
New Scientist reported that OpenAI's models have disproven the exponential time hypothesis, a fundamental assumption in computer science. OpenAI said its models produced three discoveries. Scientific American reported that dueling results from OpenAI and Anthropic, including an OpenAI quantum math result, drew excitement and controversy.
