Grokipedia, SpaceXAI’s AI-powered competitor to Wikipedia, recently started incorporating edits again, and today, it got some design tweaks as part of a v0.3 update, including a new logo and refreshes to its homepage and live edits page. SpaceXAI head of design Benji Taylor calls it a “newly refreshed Grokipedia.”
The US Federal Trade Commission is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic and other leading AI labs over potential consumer protection violations. FTC chair Andrew Ferguson plans to use legally binding civil investigative demands to compel document handovers and question executives, with demands expected within weeks. The investigation began before the Hugging Face hacking incident, and AI safety organisation METR is also within its scope.
Google's Sundar Pichai, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and OpenAI's Greg Brockman.
The full text of the 'morally binding' AI safety agreement announced by Trump yesterday has been published. Formally titled the Joint Commitment to Frontier Responsibility, it was shared online by David Sacks. Signatories include Google's Sundar Pichai.
Trump and technology executives including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI's Greg Brockman, Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Elon Musk signed an AI code of conduct at the White House.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a press Q&A after the DevDay keynote that the company would not go public before it could make reliable commitments on model safety, and had no firm timetable. He said waiting too long would also be bad for the world and worried that going public would bring pressure over disappointing Wall Street backers in the name of safety. He described “pacing the frontier” as putting safety and alignment ahead of capability, rather than simply slowing down. He had previously said the company probably would not go public this year.
After OpenAI launched the persistent AI agent Dots, dot.com was revealed to belong to Elon Musk’s xAI and currently redirect to the Grok chat app’s download page. Whois records show the domain changed hands in July; xAI does not own similarly spelt domains such as bot.com or vot.com. X user @birdabo first spotted it, prompting speculation that Musk was trolling OpenAI’s new product.
SpaceXAI's AI encyclopaedia Grokipedia has resumed article updates after several months of inactivity. Its live update page shows multiple recent changes, though many entries merely state that all references and sources have been rechecked.
Latent Space's AINews rounds up developments from 9/24–9/25, noting positive community feedback since Opus 5.5 launched this week, particularly on generating explainer videos with code.
xAI’s Grok 4.7 is available on Amazon Bedrock with a 500K-token context window, four configurable reasoning levels—low, medium, high and xhigh—and support for the Responses, Chat Completions and Converse APIs.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5, followed roughly an hour later by OpenAI’s GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna. Both GPT-6 Sol and Luna are priced at half their corresponding GPT-5.6 models.
Good Start Labs turned railway board game 1830 into a training environment and tested a 30B model. Both single-turn Q&A and multi-turn terminal-agent training improved game performance, but only the terminal-agent design improved Finance-Agent benchmark results.
AI Evaluator Forum released AEF-1 as a baseline proposal for independent third-party AI evaluation, covering access, conflicts of interest, funding relationships, recusal and transparency, with xAI, OpenAI and Anthropic signing.
Researchers from Oxford, the UK AI safety institute, Stanford and LSE found AI consistently more persuasive in text across four experiments with 6,923 participants and 18,978 conversations, even when experts chose topics, researched in advance and were incentivised with £1,000 prizes.
