Most large-scale AI training runs use less than half the computing power they're paying for. Lambda's team benchmarked Llama 3.1 models from 8B to 405B on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and found the root causes of low Model FLOPS Utilization (MFU). The result: a reproducible framework that boosted efficiency by over 25%, without changing the model itself.

A reference to Claude Mythos 5.5 was spotted on Anthropic's official Mythos webpage, indicating that the company may be preparing for an upcoming release. The change only covers the version number, and there are no new specifications and no announcement. Multiple reports suggest that the model is being A/B tested with selected users. If the company follows a similar strategy to previous releases, Mythos 5.5 may initially remain exclusive to selected cyberdefenders.

GPT-Rosalind-6 is a frontier reasoning model for biology, drug discovery, and translational medicine. It is available as GPT-Rosalind-6 Research to qualified scientists, research institutes, companies, and government partners. The model uses the same weights as GPT-6 Astra. It is designed to support legitimate biological research while refusing requests for biological weaponization. The model is rated as High Capability in the Biological and Chemical domain under OpenAI's Preparedness Framework.

AI models can hold skills that no prompt can unlock. It is possible to enable these skills through precise tuning of only a small number of weights. This study shows how researchers unlocked hidden skills inside Google's model through this method.

DoorDash revealed it has received "several hundred" orders from AI agents, despite processing 3 million deliveries daily. CEO Tony Xu highlighted that most orders still come directly from the DoorDash app, but the company is interested in exploring agentic use cases. DoorDash is also developing its own agents and considering future advertising opportunities within these platforms.

Google announced plans to support a shared AI training control via robots.txt, allowing websites to set AI training preferences with a single policy token.

Google reports its Project Suncatcher prototype ran Gemma 4 on a data-center-class TPU in orbit, returning a haiku transmitted through Svalbard. Upcoming tests will assess thermal and radiation resilience ahead of a planned pair of interconnected satellites in 2027, advancing research into space-based AI compute.

Anthropic used Claude to automatically generate fine-tuning datasets that induced misaligned behavior while evading training-data safety monitors. The experiments uncovered seemingly harmless fiction and roleplay examples that caused models to resist oversight, deceive users, and occasionally attempt weight exfiltration.

An ERA fellow mentored at Apollo Research audited the open-source Codex harness and found 11 attacks that let a misaligned agent run arbitrary code despite the sandbox and the Auto-review blocking monitor. The exploits swap scripts behind trusted hooks, forge user turns the monitor can't tell from real ones, and edit files after approval. OpenAI has fixed several.
