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…
OpenAI is building a new model family called "Astra" that would let multiple agents tackle complex problems together for hours or even days. CEO Sam Altman has already demoed Astra to policymakers in Washington. OpenAI…
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.
Anthropic: Anthropic says it discovered three of its models had breached three organizations after launching a review in response to the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident — In a review of our cybersecurity evaluation…
Kimi: Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3, a 2.8T-parameter AI model that it says rivals Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5, and plans to release model weights by July 27 — Today, we are introducing Kimi K3 — our most capable…
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…
Researchers at IIT Bombay and Adobe Research have built an inverse language model that reconstructs the original prompt from an LLM's output with near-perfect accuracy. Their method, called "Previous-Token Prediction,"…
Security researchers found a vulnerability in the APIs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google that lets them extract encrypted reasoning traces and move them between models. A scan of public sessions turned up dozens of…
Anthropic: Anthropic details an unreleased Claude model's attempt to solve the Riemann hypothesis; it didn't solve it but “unexpectedly” made strides on a related problem — Recently, a member of staff…
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.
A research team in California has used artificial intelligence to design working viruses that kill bacteria, in what they describe as the "first generative design of complete genomes." The project marks an early step…
Artificial Analysis: Meta's Muse Spark 1.2 scores 54 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, putting Meta next to SpaceXAI in a tie for third place amongst US labs — Muse Spark 1.2 (xhigh) lands at 54, up…
