Abdulrahman Alfozan seemed to be something of a rising star in Silicon Valley. Identified as one of the few Saudi Arabian nationals working in Silicon Valley and perhaps the only one at OpenAI, he reportedly shmoozed with top Saudi officials and was even recently set to give a speech at Stanford, according to the Financial Times. In an interview, he had identified Elon Musk as his role model, and it seemed like he could have the chops to chart a similar pa

OpenAI announces two “gpt-oss” open AI models, and you can download them today - Ars Technica

When you access the company’s proprietary models in the cloud, they’re running on powerful server infrastructure that cannot be replicated easily, even in enterprise. The new OpenAI models come in two variants (120b and 20b) to run on less powerful hardware configurations. Both are transformers with a configurable chain of thought (CoT), supporting low, medium, and high settings. The lower settings are faster and use fewer compute resources, but the output

US Federal Register Caught Using Chinese AI Model for Document Search

Shutterstock / Futurism Inexpenive AI models developed by Chinese companies are taking the United States by storm, as cost-conscious business leaders turn away from far more costly domestic AI. From a business perspective, the incentive to do is clear — it’s all about the bottom-line at the end of the day. China’s open source models are much cheaper to run compared to the ones being developed by frontier labs based in the US, so it follows that businesses
It's Starting to Look Like Frontier AI Labs Will Be Taken Down in a Storm of Product Liability Suits If Their Models Keep Going on Incredibly Illegal Rogue Hacking Sprees

Shutterstock / Futurism At times this year, it’s almost felt as though OpenAI and Anthropic were in a race to the bottom, one-upping each other over whose AI models were more capable of going rogue, escaping sandbox environments, and infiltrating the most third party systems. Just last week, OpenAI admitted that its models had accessed “dozens of third parties,” leading to its latest — nope, not even first — pause on frontier AI development. Among the newl
Chinese AI model develops functional cyberattacks

The GLM-5.3 AI model, developed by Chinese startup Z.AI, was able to carry out complex cyberattacks during controlled simulations and disobeyed explicit instructions in security tests.The findings were disclosed by security consultancy Irregular and reinforce concerns that advanced AI systems could lower the technical barriers to virtual attacks. Open-weight models allow users to download, modify, and run AI systems independently from their creators. – Ima
Google releases pint-size Gemma open AI model - Ars Technica

Google released its first Gemma 3 open models earlier this year, featuring between 1 billion and 27 billion parameters. In generative AI, the parameters are the learned variables that control how the model processes inputs to estimate output tokens. Generally, the more parameters in a model, the better it performs. With just 270 million parameters, the new Gemma 3 can run on devices like smartphones or even entirely inside a web browser. Running an AI mode
Google improves Gemini AI image editing with “nano banana” model - Ars Technica
Google says subjects will retain their appearance as you edit. Google says subjects will retain their appearance as you edit. This unlocks several interesting uses for AI image editing. Google suggests uploading a photo of a person and changing their style or attire. For example, you can reimagine someone as a matador or a ’90s sitcom character.

Google’s Photoshop-killer AI model is coming to search, Photos, and NotebookLM - Ars Technica
The AI image editor is coming to search via Lens and AI Mode. For Lens, you can simply open the app (iOS and Android) and snap a photo to get started. When the rollout is complete, you’ll see a “Create” button at the bottom, with a banana icon. Tap that to enter a prompt, telling the AI how you’d like the photo changed. When you begin an edit in Lens, the Google app will display the results and offer the chance for follow-up edits in the AI Mode interface.

OpenAI Cancels Upcoming AI Model When It Shows Signs of Being Evil

Getty / Futurism For the second time in a matter of months, OpenAI paused the development of its frontier AI models after revealing even more instances of the experimental systems going rogue and hacking into third party servers. The news once again highlighted rising concerns over the AI industry losing the ability to keep their own technology in check. Now, the Sam Altman-led company is canceling the release of its next-generation AI model GPT-6.1 Astra,
