i particularly love when the anti-AI crowd makes up shit about our water usage while eating a hamburger

Accelerating scientific discoveries and helping cure diseases might be the most profound purpose of AI. Thrilled to introduce our Google AI Google DeepMind Google Cloud AI co-scientist system, which I believe is an important milestone towards this. Blog -

Super excited to share 🧠MLGym 🦾 – the first Gym environment for AI Research Agents 🤖🔬 We introduce MLGym and MLGym-Bench, a new framework and benchmark for evaluating and developing LLM agents on AI research tasks. The key contributions of our work are: 🕹️ Enables the

Can AI Improve Itself? In an interview with Machine Learning Street Talk, co-first authors of “The AI Scientist” paper, Chris Lu, Cong Lu, and Robert Lange share their views on the recent and future development of Self-Improving AI. Watch the full podcast on YouTube → youtu.be/1kwbp8hRRfs

The AI Scientist Generates its First Peer-Reviewed Scientific Publication We’re proud to announce that a paper produced by The AI Scientist-v2 passed the peer-review process at a workshop in ICLR, a top AI conference. Read more about this experiment → sakana.ai/ai-scientist-f…

Introducing The AI Scientist-v2, which produced the 1st fully AI-generated paper to pass peer review at a workshop level (at ICLR 2026 2025)! Tech Report: pub.sakana.ai/ai-scientist-v… GitHub: github.com/SakanaAI/AI-Sc… V2 adds: 🧠 Agentic Tree Search (open-ended idea exploration) 💡

One promising direction is combining ideas from AlphaEvolve and the Darwin Gödel Machine. Imagine a self-referential system improving itself even at the lowest algorithmic levels at *scale* AlphaEvolve: deepmind.google/discover/blog/… Darwin Gödel Machine: arxiv.org/abs/2505.22954

Recently, there has been a lot of talk of LLM agents automating ML research itself. If Llama 5 can create Llama 6, then surely the singularity is just around the corner. How can we get a pulse check on whether current LLMs are capable of driving this kind of total

Antiviral therapy design is myopic 🦠🙈 optimised only for the current strain. That's why you need a different Flu vaccine every year! Our #ICML2025 paper ADIOS proposes "shaper therapies" that steer viral evolution in our favour & remain effective. Work done Foerster Lab for AI Research 🧵👇

Our open models are here. Both of them. openai.com/open-models

We released two open-weight reasoning models—gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—under an Apache 2.0 license. Developed with open-source community feedback, these models deliver meaningful advancements in both reasoning capabilities & safety. openai.com/index/introduc…

GPT-5 is what you’ve been waiting for – it defines and extends the cost-intelligence frontier across model sizes today. it’s been a long journey, and we’ve landed pivotal improvements across many axes in the whole GPT-5 family. and hey no more model picker (by default)!

GPT-5 is here. Rolling out to everyone starting today. openai.com/gpt-5/

OpenAI just cannot stop winning

Here at OpenAI we've cracked pretraining, then reasoning, and now we're experimenting with a new set of techniques that maximally leverage their interaction. GPT-5 is just the first step in this direction, and we're incredibly excited to see where scaling this up will lead us!

My team forced me to post this. It's definitely the last time I organize a nice offsite for them 😤😂

Our general-purpose reasoning models solved all 12 problems at the 2025 International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals, the world’s top university programming competition which was enough for a 1st-place human ranking.

Yet more evidence that a pretty major shift is happening, this time by Scott Aaronson scottaaronson.blog/?p=9183&fbclid…
