As reasoning models consume more tokens and AI systems become more expensive to run, understanding what those tokens actually buy is becoming increasingly important. In this episode, Stanford professor and Big Spin co-founder Chris Potts joins us to discuss AI tokenomics and his research into “tokenflation”—the…

![[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](/media/images/2026/09/e335bd13df55cc95.webp)
Today was a tough news cycle to launch anything; we ordinarily promise to cover any new decacorn fundraises so Cognition’s $48B round and Mistral’s $24B round would normally have made it; we love imagegen so GPT Image 2.5 would have been its own headline; we covered the Dreamer story closely so their relaunch as…

Naive autoresearch investment in our AEO have yielded impressive ROI, and so naturally it was time to take it seriously. We were inspired by What Claude Code Actually Chooses, and decided to extend/adjust it to our tastes. After a few billion tokens of prototyping, aligning, and scaling pipelines, here’s the Latent…

![[AINews] GPT-6 Astra: OpenAI’s biggest LLM launch of all time](/media/images/2026/09/a458a663b1c10a79.webp)
The launch is barely 9 hours old, and with 36M views and 164K likes, already is OpenAI’s most successful launch since Sora and certainly GPT-4 or GPT-5. You’ll recall we’ve previously observed that Anthropic tends to far outclass OpenAI in launch popularity. For the first time in their mutual history , OpenAI has…

GPT-6 Astra , the first Stargate and lightly looped supermodel from OpenAI, launched today, cleanly beating Fable 5.1 on many metrics including completely saturating the hardest versions of FrontierMath (97.6%) and ARC-AGI-3 (99.9%). Lots of demos will focus on typical talk tracks like the computer use to the Pokemon…

As AI moves from experimentation to enterprise deployment, are organizations thinking too much about models and not enough about architecture? In this episode, Daniel and Chris talk with Chetan Gupta, Chief AI Officer at Rackspace, about the evolution from industrial AI and physical AI to today’s enterprise AI…

Launch season continues from yesterday, with Gemini 3.8 Flash as rumored today, but Muse Spark 1.3, promised in Zuck’s big comeback letter last month, definitely deserved the title story win today. Per AAII it is now the #3 model in the world (!?!) Just look at the confidence displayed finally putting up comparable…

With Astra clearly finally warming up for a full launch (with @sama and @openai writing about it again after a month of self imposed pacing), there’s a familiar window to take the narrative with the round robin of model launches, with Grok 4.7 and Gemini Flash 3.8 also on the way. But that’s also perhaps not the best…

In this episode, Justin Johnson, co-founder of World Labs, joins us to discuss world models and the emerging field of spatial AI. We explore why many researchers see capabilities beyond language as an important frontier for AI, and what it means to build models that can understand, generate, and simulate the…
