The startup, which raised $5.5 million in July, is positioning the ring as a controller of sorts for both AI and non-AI apps. The company previously made Mirage, a three-key controller that let you invoke buttons based on the app on your Mac’s screen. For instance, if you were on a Google Meet call, you could map keys to camera on/off, mic mute/unmute, or to leave the meeting. Aina has baked in lessons from that device to create the new ring, which it’s si

Axiom Math is betting math can avoid that fate, not by slowing down, but by standing on firmer ground. The $1.6 billion startup wants to build a verified foundation that AI agents can rely on to write software and, eventually, do science. On Wednesday, the company announced it had formally verified the Stacks Project, one of the largest bodies of mathematics ever written by humans. Mathematicians often hold Stacks in rare regard — Columbia mathematician Pe

Yes.” “We’ve been very clear this year that we want to go public when we feel is the right time for us, and I feel extremely good about the business. I feel like we’ve made so much progress this year, and I’ve honestly never felt more confident in what we’re doing,” Brockman said. He detailed how OpenAI’s trajectory as an enterprise had changed over th

In 2025, OpenAI has battled the perception that it was ceding ground in the AI race to Chinese rivals like DeepSeek, all while the company has tried to shore up its relationship with Washington, pursued ambitious data center projects, and laid the groundwork for one of the largest funding rounds in history. Most recently though, headlines around OpenAI have focused on its competition gaining ground, with CEO Sam Altman’s “code red” internal memo shifting c

The incidents, disclosed in a blog post, involved AI agents tasked to solve problems seeking resources on the internet. In the process, they exploited software flaws, accessed databases without paying fees, used URL-shortening services to smuggle information past restrictions, and even submitted a false murder tip to the Philadelphia police. Anthropic said it discovered these new issues in a review of its model’s activities that began in July, demonstratin

While more people used an AI agent to order food through its delivery service, Uber Eats, the volume was still fairly small compared to the overall number of trips. Uber’s chief financial officer, Balaji Krishnamurthy, told Wall Street analysts on the call that the company handled around 320 million trips and orders across Uber and Uber Eats during the week of Halloween, but only 500 Uber Eats orders were placed by an AI agent. “It is very, very early and

Chesky today reiterated that belief, telling analysts on the earnings call that people won’t use one AI agent for everything. “Today’s AI agents like Muse and Instinct are good at simple routine tasks like making a restaurant reservation or scheduling an appointment. But planning a trip is different,” he said. “Travel is aspirational. Discovering where to go and where to stay is part of the experience. In fact, 80% of travelers say they enjoy spending time
