Wabi, the AI agent that builds mini apps, now valued at $1.25B after latest round
Founded by Eugenia Kuyda, who previously founded the AI companion startup Replika, Wabi originally focused on allowing anyone to build apps using prompts. Last month, however, the startup announced a pivot of sorts to become an AI messenger. The idea now is that the new Wabi — or Wabi 2.0, as it was called — could build the interfaces you need to get things done as part of its role as your personal AI agent.

Improving language understanding with unsupervised learning
We’ve obtained state-of-the-art results on a suite of diverse language tasks with a scalable, task-agnostic system, which we’re also releasing. Our approach is a combination of two existing ideas: transformers and unsupervised pre-training. These results provide a convincing example that pairing supervised learning methods with unsupervised pre-training works very well; this is an idea that many have explored in the past, and we hope our result motivates f

gpt-oss-safeguard technical report
gpt-oss-safeguard-120b and gpt-oss-safeguard-20b are two open-weight reasoning models post-trained from the gpt-oss models and trained to reason from a provided policy in order to label content under that policy. In this report, we describe gpt-oss-safeguard’s capabilities and provide our baseline safety evaluations on the gpt-oss-safeguard models, using the underlying gpt-oss models as a baseline.
