American authorities are accusing Chinese companies of "distillation activities at an industrial scale." The National Security Agency (NSA), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have issued a joint cybersecurity advisory, warning organizations that Chinese AI companies are extracting the "proprietary functionalities and capabilities" of frontier American models. Specifically, the agencies are accusing DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun and Z.AI of extracting "billions of tokens across millions of exchanges/requests" from American models, including Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's GPT, Google's Gemini and xAI's Grok, since 2024. Distillation is the term for a method in AI development in which the output of a powerful model is used to train newer ones. The warning states that DeepSeek used data and capabilities from various Claude, Gemini, GPT and Grok models to train its own, including the R1.

Amanda Yeo is an Assistant Editor at Mashable, covering entertainment, culture, tech, science, and social good. Based in Australia, she writes about everything from video games and K-pop to movies and gadgets. An AI researcher has quit Anthropic due to ethical concerns, claiming that the technology could kill countless people within the next 10 years -- if not everyone. Jacob Coxon announced his resignation in a post on X on Tuesday, criticising both Anthropic and his former employer OpenAI for the ways in which they are developing AI.

OpenAI's latest mathematical milestone has quickly become mired in controversy. Today, the company announced that its agents have solved one of the Millennium Prize Problems, some of the most important open problems in mathematics. Under normal circumstances, that solution would be a huge feather in OpenAI's cap. But the announcement has been overshadowed by accusations that OpenAI used NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster's and Anthropic employee Levent Alpöge's AI-assisted work on the problem as a jumping-off point and failed to credit them. OpenAI has denied the accusations. It remains uncertain if OpenAI's models made use of the work completed by Buckmaster and Alpöge, though Sébastien Bubeck, a member of the technical staff at OpenAI, said in a press briefing that the team was inspired to pursue the problem after hearing a rumor about Buckmaster and Alpöge's efforts.

Tristan Buckmaster, a mathematician at New York University, and Levent Alpöge, a researcher employed at Anthropic but working in a personal capacity, had been developing their own solution and made use of multiple different LLMs in their efforts, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI's Codex tool and its Astra frontier model. According to a statement by Buckmaster, OpenAI may have doubled down on its efforts regarding Navier-Stokes after learning that a team including rival Anthropic was close to a solution. He questioned whether OpenAI had leveraged the work he and his colleague had done with Codex to obtain its own breakthrough. "I asked whether the model had been trained on, or had access to, our sessions in Codex, into which we had been putting all our drafts for the whole of this project. I was told the model did not look up user data. I asked again, about training, and I did not get an answer," the statement reads.

OpenAI denied that the company had used work from rivals to solve the notoriously difficult puzzle. OpenAI denied that the company had used work from rivals to solve the notoriously difficult puzzle. OpenAI claims to have solved a major mathematics problem that has stumped humans for nearly a century after spending millions of dollars on the artificial intelligence-led endeavour. The company behind ChatGPT said it had cracked the Navier-Stokes problem, one of seven Millennium Prize Problems published by the Clay Mathematics Institute to highlight some of the biggest unsolved puzzles in the field. However, the announcement swiftly became mired in controversy after mathematician Tristan Buckmaster, a professor at New York University, said OpenAI accelerated its work on the problem after hearing that he and another researcher at Anthropic, an OpenAI rival, were poised to announce their own breakthrough.

We finally have a trailer for the long-awaited Sam Altman biopic, which is appropriately-named Artificial. It stars Andrew Garfield as the OpenAI CEO and the film is directed by Luca Guadagnino, who made Call Me by Your Name, Challengers and the Suspiria remake, among other movies. The trailer is actually pretty creepy, giving more of a horror vibe than a biopic. Harrowing music plays as Garfield puts on his best robotic Altman impression to sing the virtues of AI. He also calls it Pandora's Box and says "countries will fall" and "industries are gonna collapse."

A landmark announcement by the frontier AI lab has been overshadowed by accusations of impropriety. OpenAI said today that it has found an AI-generated solution to one of the biggest problems in mathematics --a 200-year-old equation that describes the natural behavior of fluids like water and air. The announcement appears to demonstrate the stunning power for AI to advance mathematics. But it has been marred by claims from another mathematician, Tristan Buckmaster, who says that OpenAI rushed ahead to solve the problem after learning of his and another mathematician's progress on the problem, and also then tried to influence who got credit for the work. The proof concerns the Navier-Stokes equation, one of the unsolved problems in the Clay Millennium prizes, which are each worth $1 million.

Big tech goes to Hollywood: is Silicon Valley ready for a silver-screen reckoning? The first teaser trailer of Luca Guadagnino's Artificial has been released. After being dropped by Amazon MGM Studios in June, the biopic of the OpenAI tech executive Sam Altman will be released in the US on 25 December by Neon after it premieres at the New York film festival this October. In the trailer, Andrew Garfield as Altman walks down the staircase of a luxurious mansion before entering a basement containing dozens of machine guns. Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman movie dropped by Amazon after it announces OpenAI partnership "The future's inevitable," says Altman as ominous electronic music plays.

I'm your host, Blake Montgomery, US tech editor at the Guardian, writing to you after visiting Coney Island in New York City, where I ate a hotdog, rode a ferris wheel and enjoyed a quintessentially American summer holiday. Today in tech, we're examining OpenAI's new model release and the Silicon Valley's monopoly power, and wondering why Brits and Americans have such vastly different opinions about surveillance cameras.
