OpenAI has rewritten the history of human science! “The King’s Conjecture” has been disproven on all fronts, and the 30-year-old ironclad rule governing ETH has collapsed.

New智元 reports: Honestly, the history of human science has been completely rewritten tonight! Just now, OpenAI dropped three major announcements in quick succession, officially revealing that its internal AI independently achieved three groundbreaking discoveries—each a true “milestone”: In mathematics, it proved the “local smoothness conjecture” in all dimensions, finally putting an end to the “Kakeya conjecture,” which had puzzled the mathematical community for a century; in computer science, it refuted the “Exponential Time Hypothesis” (ETH), which has dominated the field for nearly 30 years; and in theoretical physics, it provided insights into four-dimensional quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and pure...

Microsoft and Hugging Face have open-sourced the ThinkingBox framework: using the database’s final state as a deterministic reward signal to advance post-training reinforcement learning for agents.

Microsoft and Hugging Face have jointly launched the open-source framework ThinkingBox, which generates binary 0/1 rewards by comparing the LLM agent’s final database state after execution with the expected state, for reinforcement learning-based fine-tuning. The accompanying benchmark, ThinkingBox-Bench, includes 507 real-world backend tasks, none of which were used during training. After 50 steps of GRPO fine-tuning, Qwen3.8-27B achieved a 9.08-percentage-point improvement in pass@1 on the held-out test set, with Observed 20/20 nearly tripling; however, pass@20 declined in some domains, reflecting a trade-off between breadth and stability.

PHP ‘Doomsday Vulnerability’ Exposed: OpenAI and Wiz Use AI to Discover a High-Risk Flaw Spanning 20 Years

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) issued an urgent alert: OpenAI and Google’s Wiz team, working together using AI tools, have discovered two critical vulnerabilities affecting all PHP versions 5 and above (since 2004). These vulnerabilities could allow remote exploitation of the server’s file system or database. While there are currently no reports of real-world exploitation, AI has significantly lowered the barrier to attack, making it imperative for tens of millions of websites worldwide to urgently upgrade to PHP 8.5.12.

Google’s Antigravity platform accelerates antimicrobial peptide discovery: an end-to-end AI scientific workflow powered by ProtNLM and AlphaFold

Google has launched the Antigravity scientific AI platform, integrating the ProtNLM protein function prediction model, the AlphaFold structural database, and genome-context reasoning capabilities to help biologists, in a single interactive session, identify, validate, and prioritize novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from vast pools of unannotated proteins—such as the millions of “dark matter” sequences in UniProt—throughout the entire workflow. The first candidate molecule (UniProt ID: A0A0U0D591) has already entered the wet-lab validation phase.
