OpenAI is making a major change to how it operates ChatGPT free and Go accounts. Starting next week, the company will no longer enforce rate limits on users of those accounts for prompts that involve only text. In effect, that change will allow you to talk with ChatGPT as much as you want. The company will continue to enforce separate limits for other forms of usage. For instance, adding files and images to your prompts will see you eventually hit a limit as a free or Go tier user, as will making use of image generation and ChatGPT's recently updated voice mode.

Its WeatherNext model, which will be open-sourced, can accurately predict a storm's track and intensity using lower-resolution weather data. Researchers don't yet fully understand how it does this. In October 2025, a storm brewed over the Caribbean Sea. Weather models differed on its trajectory. Would it remain weak and end up in Haiti, or would it intensify and head to Jamaica?

First OpenAI, now Meta - why do AI hacks keep happening? Over the last fortnight, reports of AI models going beyond their expected bounds - be that technically or morally - have been seemingly unavoidable. What started with a trickle - ChatGPT-maker OpenAI admitting their AI had hacked the site Hugging Face - has turned into a flood of groups revealing they had discovered instances of AI going out of control. Claude-maker Anthropic, Meta and the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) have now each reported incidents which seem to paint a worrying picture of a world in which tech going rogue is the norm. In reality, each case offers a window into the risks posed by increasingly capable AI agents - and the importance of testing their limits before they are released to the world.

DuckDuckGo for iOS has a new privacy feature. Copy Clean Link prevents tracking information from being copied. You can share links knowing they are clean. A new feature from DuckDuckGo's iOS app automatically strips away unnecessary tracking identifiers and other parameters that could lead to fingerprinting and other unwanted issues, according to a report from Digital Trends, Tuesday.

He is also a Pisces, a cat lover, and a Kansas City sports fan. We did this to ourselves. A bunch of researchers let AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic loose in a testing environment, and the results were a little spooky.

Two Stanford AI pioneers teach this landmark course for free. The curriculum reaches far beyond LLMs and prompting. Expect 75 to 100 hours of challenging, durable lessons. Imagine for a minute that the technology that enables Star Trek transporters is suddenly real -- it's being adopted nearly universally.

Dr François Pachet is an AI researcher and musician, and one of the most influential figures in AI and music. His innovative contributions have defined the field over the past decades through creative systems such as the Continuator, and Flow Machines, among others. After leading the Spotify Creator Technology Research Lab and the Sony Computer Science Lab, he went on to create his own companies: Imagine All The People and Ynosound. In the context of IJCAI2025, he spoke about what deep learning changed, and what still remains wide open. He explains why tools like Suno and Udio--ChatGPT-like platforms for music generation--can produce astonishing results that still feel unsatisfying; why the next step for music generation requires combining sampling with search; and why the most important problems in artistic domains are, by nature, ill-defined--because there is no loss function to determine what is "good". Above all, he defends the importance of researcher autonomy: work on the questions that genuinely fascinate you, even when they fall outside prevailing trends--perhaps especially then. Thank you for joining me for this interview. Could you begin by telling us when was your first IJCAI and a memory related to it? I think the first IJCAI I attended was in Montreal in '95. I was there for a couple of workshops, one of them was about music and AI, and the other one I think was on advisor systems, something like that. And I remember there was a French colleague who was there also, at the time he was doing his PhD. And there was this researcher called Herbert Simon, who is a Nobel Prize pioneer of AI. I remember having chatted a little bit with this French guy who was very bold, and he just went up to Simon, said "Hey," and he started a conversation with him. And I was very impressed by the fact that you could meet those kinds of guys informally in a corridor or something at this conference.

An autonomous agent powered by OpenAI's advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models went rogue during a security test and hacked multi-billion dollar tech startup, Hugging Face, last week. The agent didn't just exploit vulnerabilities in Hugging Face's systems to achieve what it perceived as a strategic gain. It also exploited vulnerabilities within OpenAI's infrastructure. Of course, hacks are very common cyber threats that organisations face frequently. But this incident is different, because the AI agent acted without any human input.
