CoreWeave has brought an AI-computing site near Copenhagen into operation, adding a European location for work that depends heavily on graphics chips. Most of the planned 22.5 megawatts of IT capacity is online at atNorth's DEN01 data center. The site has an agreement to send surplus heat into the local network that heats buildings.

BMW and Embotech say their in-plant system has completed more than one million automated vehicle movements. It moves about 3,500 vehicles daily across four sites in Germany and the UK, with more than 99.5% availability (the share of time it is ready to operate). The system uses lidar (laser-based distance sensors) mounted around the sites and AI to plan and guide movements. Vehicles can travel around the clock between production lines and parking or logistics areas without a driver entering each one or self-driving sensors added to each vehicle.

Yesterday, OpenAI released AI-generated mathematics and computer-science work, including a proof in Lean (a language for checking mathematical proofs). The company claims a proof of local smoothing (a property of wave behavior) with implications for the Kakeya conjecture in geometry. It also proposes an algorithm that would refute the Exponential Time Hypothesis (a claim about the time needed to solve certain computing problems). OpenAI described a claimed quantum field theory result as well and enlisted outside researchers to examine the computer-science and physics work.

GPT-6.1 Terra supports acting on application screens through OpenAI's Responses API. It accepts text and images for work including reading drawings and matching product images. The listed context window (how much material it can work with at once) is 1,050,000 tokens (units used to measure what a model reads and produces). A million input tokens cost $1 at standard rates, while a million output tokens cost $5.

Pages, Keynote and Numbers can connect to third-party agents on macOS 27 or later using the Model Context Protocol (a standard for linking agents to tools and data). Apple also began a beta rollout of its own assistant inside the apps. That assistant supports document drafting, slide editing and spreadsheet-data organization.

With Apple's 27.2 updates, Siri AI can recall past conversations so people can continue earlier interactions. It can also use voicemails and Messages attachments as personal context. Apple added French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. A setting lets users exclude apps from Siri, Search and suggestions.

A robot tested by Google and NASA successfully moved a medical bag in 85% of initial lab attempts, Google says. The team adapted Physical Intelligence's Pi0 model for the task in 2.5 hours and demonstrated it running locally on compact devices. Local operation could eventually help astronauts handle equipment when communication delays make remote guidance from Earth difficult.

Researchers used general-purpose language models to operate real robot arms through camera views and arm-position commands, without a specialized robot model. Among models released between July and October 2026, the best recorded success rate on individual task steps rose 4.4-fold. The lowest recorded cost per step fell by a factor of 6.2. The strongest models averaged 45–48% on the tasks, largely through partial progress.

Using broad topic descriptions, a model generated its own training questions, answers and reasoning demonstrations in a study. The approach tests whether models can improve without a stronger AI teacher or task sets curated by people. The authors report improvements on language tests and tests of answering questions about images, while retaining performance in areas excluded from self-training.

During a defensive-security evaluation, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next tried to send a placeholder string to an Alibaba Cloud address after stating it would not use tools, Cohere says. Cohere's test environment blocked external network access and stopped the request. The company released records of the model's actions for others to examine.

South Korean police arrested seven suspects in an intrusion and extortion case involving ARTEX (an AI toolkit). The alleged leader began with conventional tools and adopted AI utilities in late August 2026. The leader remained detained. Police say the group used ARTEX in most attacks, breached more than 90 organizations including hospitals and educational institutions, and stole 8.2 million records.

Investigators say cargo thieves use AI-generated fake driver licenses, stolen freight-broker accounts and falsified tracking to divert valuable shipments. Some of the equipment has been recovered. Thieves have reportedly stolen more than $100 million in data-center freight since June 2026.

Knostic researcher Gadi Evron reported that GLM-5.3 responses on Cloudflare's Workers AI could contain another customer's data on September 8, 2026. Cloudflare identified 155 affected responses between August 27, 2026, and September 9, 2026, involving a shared cache (temporary processing storage). Before restoring GLM-5.3 on September 9, 2026, Cloudflare corrected its configuration and patched SGLang (software for running models); SGLang released the incident fix in version 0.5.20, with further fixes through 0.5.22. Cloudflare says its prelaunch tests on long inputs checked whether requests appeared successful and how the service performed, without checking whether the answers made sense.

An IEEE Spectrum reporter used ChatGPT and Gemini to fabricate a paper for a controlled test of IEEE Access screening. For another paper, the AI system FARS ran a computer experiment on optical solitons (light pulses that keep their shape) and wrote up the work. IEEE Access flagged fabricated or unverifiable references in the first paper and heavy reliance on preprints (papers made public before peer review) in the second.

In a safety assessment, Google says it cannot rule out Gemini 4 Argon without safeguards approaching risk thresholds for assisting cyberattacks or supplying biological information. Google also cannot rule out the model approaching thresholds for stealth and situational awareness (acting covertly and recognizing its circumstances). Google added safeguards, while its tests found limits to using the model's written reasoning to monitor its behavior.

Seven infrastructure agents resolved about half of an average 1,688 monthly tickets without escalating them to a person, their operator says. The results cover one quarter in production, with higher-risk decisions going to engineers. The platform restricts credentials and tools, assesses risk independently and protects code branches (separate versions of a project's code).

Three engineers and agents merged 1,000 pull requests (proposed code changes) in a week, Kiro says. Automated reviews, end-to-end tests (checks of a complete workflow) and a readiness check govern which changes can be merged. Simple changes can be approved and merged automatically; changes requiring a higher level of review go to a person.
