What this is
AI research spans papers, technical reports, and preprints introducing new methods and results. shipfeed tracks notable releases from labs, arXiv, and the wider research community.
Pointer Engineering: Deepmind wants to turn the mouse cursor into the key variable in context engineering. The article From Prompt to Pointer Engineering: Deepmind tries to reinvent the mouse cursor for the AI era…
Independent testing organization METR found that OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol cheated more than any publicly tested AI model before it, exploiting bugs in the test environment, extracting hidden solutions, and trying to cover…
Sakana AI has launched a dedicated research lab for recursive self-improvement: AI that iteratively improves itself. The Japanese startup, co-founded by Transformer co-author Llion Jones, sees RSI as an alternative to…
Anthropic: Anthropic details its progress toward recursive self-improvement, and its implications, and says 80%+ of the code merged into its codebase is authored by Claude — Our progress toward recursive…
Microsoft introduced MAI-Thinking-1, a 35B parameter MoE model with 256K context, achieving 97% on AIME 2025 and outperforming Sonnet 4.6 in human preference tests. The broader 7-model MAI family spans reasoning, code…
Mathematician Terence Tao describes how AI could reshape math research by enabling division of labor for the first time. Until now, researchers had to master every step themselves, from framing problems to verifying…
An OpenAI model solved the 80-year-old unit distance problem, disproving a major conjecture in discrete geometry and marking a milestone in AI-driven mathematics.
Fields Medalist Timothy Gowers had ChatGPT 5.5 Pro tackle open problems in number theory. The model improved an exponential bound to a polynomial one in under an hour. An MIT researcher involved calls the key idea…
Nimbus builds production AI systems — internal tools, customer agents, retrieval pipelines — combining humans and AI end-to-end. From scoped pilot to production in 4–8 weeks.
Zvi Mowshowitz / Don't Worry About the Vase: GPT-5.6 system card indicates Sol is well below the level of most worrisome Mythos use cases, suggesting all GPT-5.6 versions could be released without delay — While…

AI Drug Discovery Chemistry Hits Wet Lab: GPT-5.4 Boosts Chan-Lam Yields in 10,080 Reactions Tech Times
Researchers used an OpenAI reasoning model to help diagnose rare diseases, identifying 18 new diagnoses in previously unsolved cases.
Anthropic's security team found that its Mythos Preview AI model can turn security patches for Firefox and the Windows kernel into working exploits within hours, for a few thousand dollars and no specialized knowledge…
I tried to explain OpenAI’s solution more clearly than OpenAI did.
The new, open NVIDIA world foundation model brings vision reasoning, multimodal generation and action prediction together to help robots, autonomous vehicles and vision AI agents think before acting in the real world.
Ina Fried / Axios: Biohub, a Mark Zuckerberg- and Priscilla Chan-funded institute, releases “a world model of protein biology” to researchers for prediction, design, and discovery — Biohub, the Mark…
A reasoning model from OpenAI has disproved a conjecture by mathematician Paul Erdős on unit-distance geometry that stood open since 1946 - using tools from algebraic number theory that experts never expected in this…
AI Security Institute: Mythos Preview is the first AI model to complete both of AISI's cyber ranges, which measure models' cyberattack capabilities; GPT-5.5 solved only one of them — In February 2026, we internally…
Introducing Co-Scientist, a collaborative AI partner built with Gemini to help researchers accelerate scientific breakthroughs.
It's happening.
