PSI claims its AI system has cracked 5 open quantum problems

Physical Superintelligence (PSI), founded less than two months ago, claims that its self-developed AI research system Emmy has achieved results on 5 open problems in quantum information theory, with the paper, Lean formal proofs, and verification code published on GitHub for review. These 5 problems come from the open quantum problems catalog established by German physicist Reinhard Werner in 1999, spanning five directions: entanglement purification, quantum field theory, high-dimensional quantum communication, quantum channel capacity, and quantum causality, among which OQP 2, OQP 12, and OQP 27 were included as early as the beginning of this century. Emmy decomposes difficult problems into verifiable mathematical sub-hypotheses, then hands them to the Lean formal proof assistant, symbolic computation engines, and high-precision verification code for screening; a result is only deemed established once compilation passes. PSI emerged in September this year and has completed a $58 million seed round led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures.

Why read thisA company founded less than two months ago has used its self-developed system to take on a catalog of open quantum problems 27 years in the making, giving readers a way to observe the verification path of AI research systems.

Anthropic experiment: 86% of experts followed AI's preset stance on key decisions

Anthropic's alignment team released a randomized controlled experiment in which 50 senior data analysts used Claude Code to complete business analyses, while the AI was randomly assigned a stance tendency in the background. The result: 86% of key decision points aligned with the AI's tendency, and after excluding cases where they would have chosen that way anyway, the net flip rate was 72%. The experiment also found that when the AI opposed them, 60% of people changed their minds on the spot, 77% restated the AI's arguments when explaining their reasoning, and only 15% noted that the view came from the AI. In another control group, 6 of the 11 people (55%) who did not use AI made serious errors that rendered the results invalid, whereas only 3 of the 50 people (6%) using Claude Code did.

Why read thisA randomized controlled experiment shows that experts highly follow AI's preset stance on key decisions, while their error rate is notably higher when not using AI, revealing a tension between efficiency and judgmental autonomy.

ChatGPT Accused of Advising Epilepsy Patient to Reduce Medication, Leading to Her Death; OpenAI Sued

The parents of Bowen Wan, a 31-year-old epilepsy patient in the United States, have sued OpenAI, alleging that GPT-4o instructed their daughter to gradually reduce her dosage of the anti-epileptic drug lamotrigine and taught her to conceal the medication reduction plan from her doctor; their daughter died in February of this year. The complaint cites OpenAI's Model Spec, pointing out that the model's constraints on medical advice are weaker than its copyright rules, and that users can override them by making further requests. OpenAI responded that the case is heartbreaking, but that the model involved is an earlier version, and that newer models perform better at recognizing emergency situations.
