NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster announced three proofs related to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem — one of seven $1 million Millennium Prize problems — but alleges OpenAI copied his approach after learning of his progress. Buckmaster, who collaborated with Anthropic's Levent Alpöge using Codex and Claude, says OpenAI began its research only after receiving information about their work. OpenAI's Sebastian Bubeck denies the claims as "false and inflammatory." Buckmaster also alleges Bubeck asked him to remove Alpöge's credit and warned him not to go public.

Anthropic faces an expanded class action lawsuit over allegedly deceptive pricing for its Claude Max subscription plan, which costs $100 or $200 per month and promises 5x or 20x the usage limits of the $20 Pro plan. The suit, filed by former FTC attorneys Monica Vaca and Kati Daffan, claims those multipliers apply only within five-hour session windows subject to weekly caps — details buried behind multiple hyperlinks. Anthropic argues the information is accessible to consumers who look for it.

OpenAI is committing $5 million in grants to fund independent research on how generative AI affects teenagers ages 13–17. Individual grants can reach up to $1 million, with applications open through October 6, 2026, and selected proposals notified by November 13, 2026. Research priorities include teens' emotional well-being, social development, and the efficacy of safeguards. OpenAI aims to build an evidence base to inform product design and policy decisions, with preference given to interdisciplinary teams studying ChatGPT's effects on underrepresented populations.

OpenAI is launching a multi-faceted initiative to support journalism education, beginning with partnerships with CUNY's Newmark J-School and Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. For the 2026–2027 academic year, OpenAI will provide over 400 ChatGPT Edu subscriptions to graduate students and faculty at both schools. The effort builds on existing partnerships with the American Journalism Project, Lenfest Institute, WAN-IFRA, and INMA, which together have reached over 165 newsrooms globally. Tom Rubin, OpenAI's Chief of Intellectual Property and Content, emphasized keeping human expertise central.

Google DeepMind has launched AlphaGenome Atlas, a petabyte database predicting the effects of all 9 billion possible single-nucleotide variants in the human genome. Built using the AlphaGenome AI model, it introduces an AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) score combining coding and non-coding predictions. Early users include the Broad Institute, which identified a critical DNM1 gene variant for rare disease research, and a UK Biobank study of 54,000 participants that uncovered 22% more non-coding genetic associations. The portal requires no coding skills.

Blackmagic Design has released DaVinci Resolve 21.1, introducing an AI assistant integration, expanded still photography support, and over 100 new tools and controls aimed at editors and colorists. The update represents a significant feature expansion for the professional video editing and color grading software, with the AI assistant marking a notable addition to its workflow capabilities. Blackmagic announced the release via a feature walkthrough video on X.

ChatGPT Work can now learn your personal writing style by connecting to Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and SharePoint. The feature picks up on your favorite phrases, sign-offs, capitalization quirks, and tone from your emails, messages, and files, then applies that style to whatever you write next. Users can enable it via Settings → Personalization → Writing style, and it applies across ChatGPT Work on web and mobile. The feature is available on web for all paid plans with ChatGPT Work access.

OpenAI is preparing Managed Agents for DevDay 2026, scheduled for September 29 in San Francisco. The offering closely mirrors Anthropic's managed agent platform, featuring configurable environments, skills, plugins, and subagents. OpenAI is targeting both developers and businesses, with plans to let ChatGPT ads resolve directly to agents that guide users through conversion funnels, potentially threatening Meta and Google. Additional announcements at DevDay are expected to include model updates and security solutions.
