The data used to train an AI model is vital to understanding its capabilities and risks. But how can we tell whether a model W actually resulted from a dataset D?
In a new paper, we show how to verify models' training-data, incl the data of open-source LMs!https://t.co/DKQf4eoC5y

@ChrisPainterYup just because it makes sense for Putin doesn’t mean it’s happening, Chris

The OpenAI national security policy team is hiring for my old job!

As the AI stakes get stratospheric, the technical nuances of policy become extremely important. This can be an incredibly positively impactful role for the right person. If you might be excellent at this, I’d love to answer your Qs.

AI is advancing quickly. Society’s ability to manage its risks must advance just as fast.

Today we’re sharing our vision for AI Resilience, with more than $130M in initial grants underway across bio-resilience, cyber-resilience, AI model safety, and AI’s impact on young people: https://t.co/mXwqzIYAPm

@manlikemishap Congratulations on a great run!

On Friday, I resigned from OpenAI. Today is my first day at the OpenAI Foundation, where I'm helping build out our AI Resilience program.

There is a great deal to do before superintelligence, and little time to do it. If you were debating when to pivot to help, it's time.

UPDATE: According to sources who have seen the final text, Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical, set for release tomorrow, will argue that humanity faces a defining choice regarding AI.

He uses the Tower of Babel — the ancient story of a people who tried to engineer their way to godhood and collapsed under the weight of their own power — as a warning about where unchecked technical mastery leads.

Instead, the U.S.-born pontiff will urge the world to build something humbler in its place: a civilization where God and humanity can dwell together.

@NathanpmYoung OpenAI has not agreed to all lawful use with the NSA

[Yo Shavit @yonashav]

@NathanpmYoung But by this logic OpenAI is still “holding out”? Anthropic did not get these terms with the rest of DoW

@johnjhorton solving a major open problem in mathematics costs me more than a tuna sandwich (for 6 more months), can’t believe people pay for this

[Yo Shavit @yonashav]

yes, yes, YES

👇 @polynoamial could you comment on this?

[Yo Shavit @yonashav]

waiting with bated breath for Gary’s take

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

@logangraham @nanransohoff logan could you please let me know how to solve biodefense

my guess is they got an ICML weak-reject

@ShakeelHashim I don’t think anyone at Anthropic has suggested Opus 4.7 is close to Mythos on non-cyber tasks
