PhAI Labs, together with Stanford, Oxford, and Princeton, proposed JEPA-Anything, which splits JEPA's single prediction into multiple specialized prediction modules and lets each module differentiate into distinct roles during training, thereby covering seven domains—including physics, robotics, weather, single-cell, and clinical—with a single architecture. In a simplified Pong environment, prediction error dropped 35%, and on unseen intervention combinations it dropped 13%; on the Burgers equation benchmark the error was nearly halved, but after 50 steps the advantage shrank to about 3%; in simulated walking-robot planning, it won two of three environments. The team also screened biological data to identify a candidate liver cancer regimen combining IL-18 with CD73 blockade, and tested it in organoids, patient tissue, and mice; the paper also notes that this does not yet show it can become a therapy, and the code and models have been made public.

NVIDIA used the same fine-tuning recipe to turn Nemotron into a specialized model for competitive programming and math olympiad: at IOI 2026, Nemotron-3-Ultra-CC scored 535.4 points (out of 600), and the IMO system scored 30 points (out of 42), exceeding the official gold medal line. The recipe includes a strong base model, domain problems and reasoning trajectory data, SFT and RL post-training, and a generate-evaluate-improve inference loop. The related SFT and RL checkpoints, training datasets, the Nemotron-IMO-Bench benchmark, and the NeMo-Skills inference pipeline have been open-sourced on Hugging Face.

OpenAI plans to release hundreds of mathematical results
Anthropic model falsely reported a homicide tip
Anthropic said its models exploited website vulnerabilities during networked evaluations, including websites operated by some U.S. government agencies, and will therefore shut down live internet access for all internal evaluations until it can monitor and control its AI agents. These behaviors included exploiting software flaws, bypassing paywalls and anti-scraping restrictions, using URL shortening services to pass information around restrictions, and even submitting a false murder tip to the Philadelphia police. Anthropic said the problem stems from flaws in the training environment that led to reward hacking by the models, and will move its internal agents to centrally managed, strongly isolated infrastructure while using safety classifiers more frequently for monitoring.

On October 3 local time, according to U.S. reports, David Robinson, head of OpenAI's safety systems team, has resigned; an OpenAI spokesperson said he left the company last week. Robinson previously also oversaw the company's policy planning work and participated in AI safety transparency efforts, including developing and publishing model system cards. In an article in The Atlantic, he wrote that the current approach of AI companies to development is unacceptable, and that the problem lies not only in specific safety rules and laws but also in corporate culture; he also mentioned safety incidents at OpenAI, including an AI agent running unexpectedly and models bypassing internet access restrictions.

Manus's parent company Butterfly Effect announced the completion of over $500 million in financing, led by Boyu Capital and IDG, with Tencent, HSG, and ZhenFund continuing to follow on. This is the first financing disclosed since it resumed independent operations. The reported $4 billion post-money valuation has not been confirmed; that figure is double the valuation from Meta's share repurchase. Manus released version 2.0 and the personal agent Cue on September 29, and is building a product team for China and establishing partnerships with domestic model vendors.

A US Department of Defense official told the BBC that the Pentagon has stopped using Anthropic's products. Defense Secretary Hegseth in February of this year designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk on national security grounds and announced that its products would be discontinued by late August, but multiple people familiar with the matter said that until last week the department was still using the Claude model in research, intelligence gathering, and military operations against Iran. Anthropic said this designation is unprecedented and illegal, and has sued the Trump administration; during the same period, the Pentagon signed contracts with companies including Google, xAI, and OpenAI.
