Some rumors I've heard. I'll start with Google, then Anthropic and OpenAI. Google: Insiders say Google has either cracked RSI (recursive self-improvement) or is very close. Their pace has picked up fast in recent months. They went from GPT-5 level to Opus 5.5 level in months, and speculation is that RSI made that possible. Anthropic: About a week ago, Anthropic started a new pretraining run. It is not Fable 5.5 but what would become Fable 6, or something bigger, to catch up to OpenAI's Bel. OpenAI: Bel (it may have another codename) is the model behind the math results OpenAI published a few days ago, and RSI apparently helped there too. From what I'm hearing, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are all very close to cracking RSI or already have. It will get scary and exciting at the same time.

We did not know how long Microduck would actually last on battery We had thermal management issues with our Radxa prototypes: throttling after just 20 minutes, followed by an overheating shutdown. We addressed this with the new custom board. To test it, we let Microduck roam autonomously in a dedicated area, walking around, standing and sitting until the battery ran out. The results are way better than we hoped :) - Over 3 hours on a 2600 mAh battery. - Estimated average battery current dropped from ~1.13 A to ~0.82 A, roughly 28% less. - Peak CPU temperature dropped from 114°C to 60°C, with zero thermal throttling throughout the test. This time, the battery ran out before the cooling did :) Very happy with the progress!

Introducing ChatGPT for Dishwashing GPT-6 achieves state-of-the-art results on dishwashing benchmarks for long-running jobs and difficult stains. The Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem is a $1 million challenge about whether the equations describing fluid motion can break down. In this video, I accidentally found a counter-example while trying to optimize my dishwasher. But in reality, OpenAI used 10,000 AI agents to find a proof in 88 hours: https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/ Parody of the original GPT-6 Astra ad @OpenAI #ChatGPT_Partner #chatgpt Credits: Written and Directed by Joma Co-Writer - Henry Connor Coan IV @coan_henry Production by Dauntlus Studios @dauntlus.studios Producer/Co-Director - Marcus Liew @dauntlus Camera Operator - Amos Lee @amoselijahlee Art Director - Alethea Soo @aletheasoo Art Assistant - Alicia Lim @aliciatkl_ Assistant Editor - GPT-6 Astra Music: Tensions Run High by Soundridemusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly9H63SLJJo
