Mathematicians want proof OpenAI didn’t use their work

Mathematician Andreas Thom publicly accused OpenAI of opacity over whether ChatGPT conversations contributed to its non-sofic groups mathematics result.

A second mathematician, Andreas Thom, accused OpenAI of 'dishonest' behavior and insufficient transparency about training data after OpenAI announced a result in non-sofic groups, Thom's area of expertise. He emailed OpenAI researchers Sébastien Bubeck and Mark Sellke asking whether his ChatGPT interactions fed training or reasoning, but found the answers did not rule out indirect use. The dispute follows Tristan Buckmaster's questions about the Millennium Prize Navier-Stokes solution, where OpenAI denied using specific user data but could not rule out de-identified usage data. Researchers told The Verge they worry such competition with AI labs will make mathematics more secretive.

AI labs have a data trust problem that their policies haven't solved

Nvidia, Palantir, and Booz Allen restrict Anthropic's Fable over data-retention distrust, exposing gaps in AI labs' customer data policies.

Nvidia limits Anthropic's Fable to non-sensitive work and runs its own Nemotron models for internal tasks, while Palantir blocks Fable deployment until Anthropic grants irrevocable zero-data-retention guarantees, and Booz Allen bans it for proprietary cybersecurity work. John Schulman and researcher Sarah Hooker explain that labs can still extract customer IP from metadata, user traces, and synthetic data even under zero data retention. The trust crisis crystallized around Tristan Buckmaster's accusation that OpenAI's Codex absorbed his Navier-Stokes drafts, though OpenAI later stated his prompts could not have influenced its model.

How a researcher uses Codex and ChatGPT to search for new antimicrobial molecules

OpenAI profiles César de la Fuente's lab using ChatGPT and Codex alongside deep-learning models to accelerate antimicrobial molecule discovery.

OpenAI published a case study on bioengineer César de la Fuente's lab, which uses ChatGPT and Codex for hypothesis brainstorming, code writing, dataset processing, and bridging knowledge gaps across biology, chemistry, and computer science. The lab's deep-learning models scan genome and protein databases for antimicrobial peptide candidates, potentially cutting initial searches from years to hours. Bacterial antimicrobial resistance was associated with about five million deaths in 2021, a toll projected to roughly double by 2050.

OpenAI just wants to win

OpenAI says roughly 10,000 agents and tens of millions in compute solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem in 88 hours, amid controversy.

OpenAI claims an advanced unreleased model, run with about 10,000 agents and tens of millions of dollars of compute for 88 hours, produced a solution to the Navier-Stokes problem, one of seven $1 million Millennium Prize problems set by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. NYU professor Tristan Buckmaster, who was pursuing the problem with Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge, accused OpenAI of racing his team and of possibly benefiting from his Codex prompts; OpenAI categorically denied both. OpenAI researcher Sébastien Bubeck acknowledged offering Buckmaster compute and authorship arrangements, which Buckmaster characterized as a bribe, while many mathematicians expressed unease at OpenAI's competitive conduct.

How to connect AI usage to business value

OpenAI explained how ChatGPT Admin Console analytics link AI usage, spend, and Codex contributions to business outcomes.

OpenAI published guidance describing analytics features in the ChatGPT Admin Console that combine usage, credit, and token data across ChatGPT Work and Codex. The Insights task classifier groups messages into use cases such as software engineering and sales research, while an Outcomes view tracks Codex contributions to merged commits and lines of code. An Admin plugin and Admin API let teams automate reporting and combine AI analytics with business metrics like ticket resolution time or revenue.

OpenAI puts Pro subscriptions on hold due to Astra demand

OpenAI pauses new $200/month Pro subscriptions as unprecedented demand for its Astra model strains infrastructure.

OpenAI product lead Thibault Sottiaux announced on X that sign-ups for the $200-per-month Pro plan are temporarily disabled because Pro usage puts the most strain on the company's systems amid demand for the Astra model. Astra, launched September 3 and pitched as a generational leap in reasoning, coding, and computer use, is rolling out across Pro, Plus, Enterprise, and Business plans. The API, Go, and Plus tiers remain available, and OpenAI did not say how long the Pro pause will last. The company had raised Codex usage limits as recently as last month.

The AI graveyard: a running list of projects and startups that didn’t make it

TechCrunch compiles a running list of failed AI products and startups, including Relay, OpenAI's Sora, Humane AI Pin, Notion Mail, and Microsoft's Recall.

TechCrunch's 'AI graveyard' tracks notable AI products and startups that shut down or underperformed, citing S&P Global data that about 42% of AI initiatives are abandoned. Examples include the Relay automation startup, OpenAI's Sora video platform (shut March 2026), ChatGPT Atlas browser (discontinued August 9), Notion Mail (shutting September 22), and Apple's delayed Siri AI that contributed to a $250 million settlement. Hardware failures include the Humane AI Pin ($230 million raised, assets sold to HP for $116 million) and the Rabbit R1, which sold 100,000 units but received poor reviews. Microsoft's Recall feature remains controversial after a researcher demonstrated a tool extracting its captured data.
