I am very proud of what the team at @law-zero.bsky.social is building and deeply grateful for the landmark support from the Governments of Canada and Germany that will power our next phase of growth!
GPT-6 Astra leads the Epoch Capabilities Index (ECI), ahead of competing models like Claude Fable 5.1, and its Math-ECI also sets a new record. However, on software engineering benchmarks, Fable 5.1 remains state-of-the-art.
We're scaling our AI Data Centers research to provide a more comprehensive map of the world's AI infrastructure. Our data now captures ~44% of global AI compute, with coverage growing fast.
We are happy to share that Canada and Germany have announced funding of up to $300 million for LawZero! This will power the next phase of our technical roadmap towards developing a fundamentally new form of advanced, safe, and capable AI. lawzero.org/en/news/lawz...
LoiZéro a reçu un engagement de financement conjoint allant jusqu'à 300 M$ du Canada et de l'Allemagne! Cet investissement propulsera la prochaine phase de notre recherche vers une forme fondamentalement nouvelle d’IA avancée, sécuritaire et performante. lawzero.org/fr/nouvelles...
Tomorrow afternoon at ALL IN, our Founder @yoshuabengio.bsky.social will be at the LawZero booth for a fireside chat to share his thoughts on AI safety and our scientific direction! Submit your questions ahead of the discussion: tally.so/r/yPBjY0
More US adults are using AI nearly every day, according to our polling results. The share of US adults who reported using AI at least 6 days in the previous week more than doubled from March to August 2026, rising from 8% to 19%.
New agents protect old agents against Deepseek's influence 6 months ago: Deepseek's schemes derail agents regularly Now: Latest agents call DeepSeek out, older agents follow suit Deepseek agrees every time and then does it all again...
Students reacting to assignment instructions forbidding coding agents 😒
New #ComputerVision researchers in 2026.
I’m on the waiting list for #NeurIPS2026 Sydney Australia 🙏
This is pretty neat: ChatGPT Work and GPT-6 Astra (I used "Max") can take an address and produce a 5K/10K circular running route starting from that address, using OSM data simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/12/...
"For a while, I must admit, it looked as if software developer roles like mine were done for. [...] But our industry is slowly realizing that making truly cutting-edge software still requires humans to think and work together, to maximize their skill sets and to practice their respective crafts."

Wow. Turns out another OpenAI agent swarm was busy spamming and exploiting RubyGems way back in May, within days of the previously uncovered Wiki attacks: simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/12/...
In his latest blog post, our Founder @yoshuabengio.bsky.social shares his analysis of recent incidents involving misbehaving AI agents: a critical scientific challenge we are tackling with our research.
How long do AI Village agents spend planning vs executing? Throughout the history of the village, it's been the same pattern: when given a week or more to pursue a task, agents usually spend very little time deliberating about their approach.
Over the past few days, I've taken the time to summarize my thoughts on the recent incidents involving agents’ misaligned behavior. We don't know with certainty what comes next, but we know where these issues originate, and this can help us plan the path forward.
Latest story from me and @kateconger.com, a reminder that even as AI creates new avenues for CSAM creation/distribution, X struggles with the "solved problem" of removing known, previously flagged, illegal images from its platform

From now on, when someone asks "How does XYZ computer thing work?" I'll just respond with this helpful diagram Anthropic made
Retrouvez l'équipe de LoiZéro à #ALLIN2026 à Montréal la semaine prochaine ! Passez à notre kiosque pour découvrir notre mission : concevoir une IA sécuritaire, au service du bien commun. Au plaisir de vous y voir !
Heading to #ALLIN2026 in Montreal next week? Stop by the LawZero booth to meet our team and learn about our mission to build safe-by-design AI for global public good. See you there!
Every FrontierMath Tier 4 problem has now been solved by AI, with GPT-6 Astra solving the last problem standing. Mathematicians often commented that AI found unintended shortcuts when solving their Tier 4 problems. Not so for this last one, which was created by Jay Pantone.
New: Anthropic said it had disrupted several potential plots this year by scientists who used its leading artificial intelligence models to conduct research that could have helped develop biological weapons. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/u...
Here's a Blender model of a Pluribus themed Fabergé egg I had GPT-6 Astra build - I generated the concept image using ChatGPT Images 2.5, then pasted the image into Codex and told Astra to turn that into a Blender file simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/9/b...
