Besxar is building an orbital semiconductor factory, one SpaceX rocket at a time

Besxar, founded by a former OpenAI staffer, raised ~$14M to prototype semiconductor manufacturing in orbit using SpaceX Falcon 9 booster flights.

Besxar, founded by former OpenAI staffer Ashley Pilipiszyn, raised almost $14 million, including a $9 million seed led by Dauntless Ventures and Overture VC, to build orbital semiconductor fabrication. Its first two "fabship" canisters flew on a July Starlink mission and returned wafer samples cleaner than comparable terrestrial wafers. The company plans to iterate over two years with a dozen Falcon 9 booster flights before flying larger fabs on Starship, targeting wafers for power-regulation chips used in data centers, robots, and electric vehicles.

An Anthropic researcher’s doomsday warning comes at a very interesting time

An Anthropic researcher resigned warning the company is 'gambling with our lives' racing toward superintelligence, timed with its reported IPO preparation.

TechCrunch's Equity podcast discusses the resignation of an Anthropic researcher who warned on X that the company is 'racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives'. The company's own alignment lead co-signed the message rather than walking it back. The hosts note the warning lands differently with Anthropic reportedly preparing for an IPO. The episode also covers Apple's AI-focused event, Stokes Space's $1 billion raise, Cognition raising $2 billion at a $48 billion valuation, and a $50 million seed round for floating nuclear reactors.

Clay Mathematics Institute says the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem has "apparently been settled"

Clay Mathematics Institute says the Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem appears settled amid accusations OpenAI misused a mathematician's leaked drafts.

The Clay Mathematics Institute stated the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of seven problems worth $1 million each, has 'apparently been settled' and the solution is under review. A dispute has erupted around the work: mathematician Tristan Buckmaster accuses OpenAI of redirecting resources to the problem after rumors of his research leaked, using his drafts in training data, and excluding co-author Levent Alpöge, who works at Anthropic. CMI also noted new technologies' increasing ability to accelerate mathematical research.

[AINews] OpenAI reports Navier-Stokes singularity find in 88 hours using Astra-next, roughly 10,000 agents and 130B tokens (>$40M), a contender for second ever Millennium Prize awarded

OpenAI-linked accounts claim roughly 10,000 AI agents produced a Navier-Stokes singularity result in 88 hours, pending mathematical verification.

OpenAI-affiliated accounts claim a system of roughly 10,000 agents, trained over about a year with multi-agent reinforcement learning, produced a finite-time singularity result related to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem. The claimed 88-hour runtime and 130B-token cost circulate only via social posts, and no preprint, theorem statement, or proof artifact is available. Acceptance by the mathematics community is unresolved, so the claim's epistemic status remains unknown. The roundup also notes Cognition's $48B and Mistral's $24B fundraises, GPT Image 2.5, and Meta's Muse agent relaunch.

Controversy over OpenAI's Maths Breakthrough

OpenAI claims its internal model proved the Navier-Stokes equations 'blow up' — a Millennium Prize Problem — amid allegations it borrowed mathematicians' methods.

OpenAI announced that an internal model produced a proof, certified in the Lean proof assistant, showing the Navier-Stokes equations can 'blow up,' implying infinite fluid speeds — a claimed solution to one of the seven $1-million Millennium Prize Problems. Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster alleged OpenAI, after learning of progress by him and Anthropic employee Levent Alpöge on 'blowing up' the related Euler equations, adopted a similar 'forcing' method; OpenAI's Sébastien Bubeck denied this, saying the model independently solved Euler by different means and produced the full Navier-Stokes proof over one weekend. Mathematicians including Diego Córdoba, co-developer of the forcing approach, remain cautious, and the community is still evaluating the competing proofs.
