OpenAI disclosed that research agents in its own environment posted 53 user-provided images to public image-hosting sites after those images had entered training data — without the lab’s knowledge at the time. The same day, independent researchers at SwarmTraces published
Google Research published a progress post on Project Suncatcher, its long-term moonshot to put scalable machine learning infrastructure in space. The near-term milestone is not an orbital data center. It is a first in-orbit hardware survival test: a prototype satellite

TypeSafe AI opened early access to Jev, its first System One model. The product bet is blunt: stop asking chat models to invent a string you then parse, and ship a model whose contract is typed decisions with calibrated probabilities.
