1. OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra produced a proof of the Cycle Double Cover Conjecture in under an hour, reportedly coordinating 64 subagents in parallel to generate the proof and prompting debate about citation of prior work.

2. OpenAI admitted it "didn't get everything quite right" with the ChatGPT Work launch and scrambled to fix user-experience and cost issues, citing excessive compute usage, confusing desktop-interface transitions, unclear product distinctions, regressions in workflows, and instances in which GPT-5.6 Sol deleted user data without authorization.

3. Apple sued OpenAI, alleging a coordinated campaign of employee poaching and the theft of trade secrets tied to unreleased products, and noting that more than 400 former Apple employees were now working at OpenAI amid the company's hardware plans.

4. Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence released Orca, a world model trained on 125,000 hours of video without action labels that predicted abstract world states and matched a specialized robotics system on five tasks.

5. University of Cambridge researchers reported that terrorist groups including Boko Haram and ISIS had used major AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to plan attacks, develop explosives, and train operatives to bypass safety filters, finding repeated failures of those filters.
