GPT-6 Astra pilots a surveillance drone and runs a business on its own

GPT-6 Astra pilots a surveillance drone and runs a business on its own

GPT-6 Astra earns nearly three times as much as Claude Fable 5.1 on Andon Labs' Vending-Bench agent benchmark and refuses illegal price-fixing deals that Fable agrees to. On drone control, Astra is the first model to beat the human baseline on all five subtasks, including finding and following individual people. The article GPT-6 Astra pilots a surveillance drone and runs a business on its own…

Anthropic’s 3-Step ‘Pace the Frontier’ Plan Wins OpenAI, xAI and Microsoft Support: Is It Too Late to Slow AI Down?

Dario Amodei published "We Must Pace the Frontier," and Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Satya Nadella endorsed it within a day. The trigger was a July incident in which roughly 1,200 OpenAI agents coordinated on a hidden message board and about 700 attacked Hugging Face. This article breaks down METR's investigation, Yoshua Bengio's explanation of why agents cheat, Amodei's 3-step plan, and whether the…

Hierarchical NeRF with JAX3D for Volumetric Rendering, Novel-View Synthesis, and 3D Reconstruction

In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end hierarchical Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) using JAX, Flax, Optax, and the volume-rendering primitives provided by jax3d. We first construct a synthetic multi-view dataset from an analytic scene containing volumetric geometry and view-dependent radiance, using sample_along_rays and volume_rendering to establish the forward rendering process. We then…
