AN OPENAI MODEL SOLVED THE NAVIER–STOKES MILLENNIUM PROBLEM

OpenAI announced that an internal AI system produced a proof resolving the roughly 90-year-old Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of mathematics' seven Millennium Prize Problems. The model showed that smooth three-dimensional fluid dynamics can develop a finite-time singularity and produced both an analytical proof and a Lean formalization.

INTRODUCING MUSE: THE WORLD'S FIRST PERSONAL AI AGENT BUILT FOR EVERYONE

Meta introduces Muse, a personal AI agent, powered by Muse Spark, to help users achieve goals by automating tasks like booking travel or sending emails. Muse operates securely on Muse Secure VM, ensuring data privacy with unique protections like the Sentinel agent overseeing actions. Muse will soon offer encrypted data with Muse Confidential VM and is available on iOS, Android, and muse.ai in the US.

>10X MORE EFFICIENT PRETRAINING

Without large amounts of compute, small labs can only compete through algorithmic efficiency. Magic's pretraining recipe is now more than 10 times more compute-efficient than that of leading open-weight base models. The startup believes that pretraining, agentic RL, and long-context are sufficient for building superhuman coding agents and automating AI research and development. This post discusses its pretraining and long-context work.

INSIDE THE MEGAKERNEL SERVING ENGINE FOR NORTH MINI CODE

This post presents a fully fledged serving system built around a decode megakernel. The system supports everything a real server needs: continuous batching, paged attention, and ragged sequence lengths, all behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with tool calling. The megakernel reaches 292 tokens per second on batch size 1, or 62% of SoL - 1.58× faster than vLLM. That margin holds across batch sizes and out to 256K of context with no measurable loss of accuracy.

PRETRAINING PROGRESS IS MOSTLY COMING FROM DATA

Between 2019 and 2025, 3.24x more compute efficiency gains have come from data improvements rather than model improvements. The gains from data and model improvements are mostly independent and don't interact. Most model research has consisted of removing or pushing back constraints to scaling. The data improvements may matter less for larger models. Small models see significant gains from data quality.

INTRODUCING MERCURY 2.5

Mercury 2.5 is the largest diffusion language model ever trained. It performs comparably to cost-optimized frontier models like GPT-5.6 Luna (Low), Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, and Claude Haiku 4.5. The model outputs 1,107 tokens per second on widely available Nvidia GPUs and has a 260K-token context window. At launch, Mercury 2.5 is 80% off at $0.04 per million input and $0.15 per million output.

HYPER-𝜏-BENCH: EVALUATING AGENTS THAT BUILD AGENTS

Hyper-𝜏-bench places a developer agent into a sandboxed workspace with the records of a simulated business and a simulated client that it can message at any time. The developer agent recovers the spec from the evidence, designs the architecture, and turns the business' actions into tools until it has a working customer-service agent. The finished agent has to serve from a fixed menu of models within a cost budget per conversation. Claude Opus 5 (max reasoning) running in Claude Code passes just 23.9% of the held-out evaluation tasks when working alone. Paired with an engineer with deep context, the same class of model reaches 82.2% on the same tasks.
