An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.

We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. https://t.co/iP6cyheZ7i

BTW, if Elon is anywhere in the ballpark of right about this, AI taking our jobs will be the least of anyone's concerns

I made the mistake of watching the @elonmusk @TheEconomist interview before I went to bed and I couldn’t sleep thinking about how in ten years Elon thinks we will all be chimpanzees to AI — and we are building it anyway

This cover! We could barely fit Jeff’s biceps on it, and the story lineup is dynamite

OpenAI's Sam Altman is teaming up with legendary Apple designer Jony Ive to build hardware for ChatGPT, but a lawsuit from Apple could derail those plans before a product is even released.

Can someone please tell NYT @FortuneMagazine already did this story two weeks ago?

[DHH @dhh]

How much do you want to bet the NYT is working a hit piece on Senra? Yeah, I just went on this great guy's show, now let me give you some dirt off the record. Fuck off.

[Alyson Shontell @ajs]

@howard @elonmusk @TheEconomist I agree! Always an open invitation for Elon

Elon is often ultimately right in his predictions but his timeframes for when things will happen by often aren’t. Either way, this sounds wild

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

I'd modify @elonmusk prediction that by 2036 "Money won’t matter in 2036," as Musk said to The Economist by adding "only if the politics permits this great abundance" as explained at https://t.co/dxJMT5xmJq.

Fortune Editor-in-Chief @ajs sat down with OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman to get his perspective on the recent Hugging Face security breach, Chinese open-source AI models, the business model of an AI lab, and the pressure of running OpenAI. https://t.co/pg7OFJHwkg

Google earned more profit in 3 months than 459 of the Fortune 500 companies generate in top line revenue in a full year — and it's all from AI investment gains

You never know the private battles people are fighting.

[Sebastian Herrera @SebasAHerrera]

As Jony Ive and Sam Altman hugged and sipped espressos at a North Beach cafe in May 2025, a new war was brewing.

Their alliance signaled a brazen ambition to build the next great consumer product—this time for the AI age, and a bet that OpenAI could unseat the likes of Apple using the iPhone maker’s former design star.

@EmilyForlini look into OpenAI and Ive's relationship, and what it means for the AI lab's hardware ambitions, now made more complicated by Apple's high-profile lawsuit.

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

We have information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable for the development of its K3 model.

To do this they developed a sophisticated internal platform to conduct large scale distillation against U.S. models, allowing them to quickly switch between multiple methods of access to avoid detection. Moonshot AI has also acquired GB300-equipped servers and has accessed GB300s in Thailand, likely to train its AI models.

The United States strongly supports the free and fair development of AI, including a thriving competitive ecosystem that spans frontier models, specialized systems, open-source frameworks, and open-weight models. Legitimate AI distillation used to create smaller, more efficient models plays a vital role in this open innovation ecosystem. However, large-scale, covert industrial distillation aimed at stealing proprietary U.S. technology and undermining American research is unacceptable.
