Microsoft, once OpenAI’s exclusive partner and still a major reseller of other companies’ AI models, built its own reasoning model from scratch.
Machine Learning Research
Models that orchestrate the activities of other models and agents achieved state-of-the-art performance on a variety of benchmarks, outperforming the best individual models working alone.

OpenAI announced a preview of its GPT-5.6 family, including a top-tier model comparable to Claude 5 Mythos — but so far it’s available only to users that are selected by the U.S. government.

The phrase recursive self-improvement erupted on social media following an Anthropic report that tracked AI-driven gains in the company’s internal software-engineering productivity.

After months of headlines that teased a large language model with extraordinary capabilities, Anthropic launched Claude Mythos 5, which can crack software previously believed to be secure, and Claude Fable 5, a version for general use that limits what users can do in an unprecedented way.
Machine Learning Research
Fine-tuning large language models on a seemingly benign task that would be useful to writers — expanding plot summaries into paragraphs of polished fiction — causes them to regurgitate substantial portions of books on which they were pretrained.

AI-driven activity on the internet rose sharply last year, a study shows.
