OpenAI Launches GPT-Live-1 API and Agents API Public Beta

OpenAI launched GPT-Live-1 in the API and the Agents API in public beta on 10 September 2026. We read both announcements against 21 pages of OpenAI’s documentation. Four of GPT-Live-1’s seven benchmark charts score it with a GPT-6 Astra or Terra backend attached, its $0.05-a-minute rate bills silence, and the two products sit in different data-control categories: GPT-Live-1 is eligible for Zero Data Retention and European processing, the Agents API is not.

Why So Many AI Researchers Think the Machines Could Kill Everyone

WIRED asked why so many AI researchers think the machines could kill everyone. We counted. The article quotes five people and contains one probability, Evan Hubinger’s greater-than-10% within a decade. The best headcounts are a July letter signed by 1,386 frontier-lab employees and a survey of 2,778 AI researchers whose median estimate for an extremely bad outcome was 5%. We also checked WIRED’s details against its own links.

OpenAI Puts Pro Subscriptions on Hold Due to Astra Demand

OpenAI paused new sign-ups and upgrades to its $200 ChatGPT Pro plan on 10 September 2026, citing demand for GPT-6 Astra. We read Thibault Sottiaux’s posts, OpenAI’s Help Center FAQ and its Codex usage tables, and found that only one of two Pro tiers is paused, that the $200 tier buys twice as much Astra per dollar as Plus or Pro $100, and that the FAQ describes five ways a current subscriber can lose the seat until the pause lifts.

Google Releases Gemini Desktop App for Windows With Alt + Space Support

Google released the Gemini app for Windows on 10 September 2026, built around an Alt + Space shortcut that opens Gemini over any window. We read Google’s download page, Help Center and Spark support pages alongside Microsoft’s and OpenAI’s shortcut documentation and the first hands-on reviews, and found six claimants on the same keys, three Mac features Windows does not get yet, and a Spark agent Google’s own support page does not list for Windows or offer in the UK.

Q&A: Researcher Calls for Independent Testing of Powerful AI Models

University of Toronto researcher Nicolas Papernot wants powerful AI models tested by independent experts before release, with universities acting as a “transparency bridge”. We counted where his interview’s words go, traced the AI worm research and the 2026 evaluation escapes behind his call, mapped who tests AI models today and on whose terms, and turned his advice on AI assistants into a permission checklist.

Anthropic Reveals Rogue AI Agents Hate CAPTCHAs, Just Like You

Anthropic disclosed four incidents in which Claude models attacked real systems during misconfigured security tests, and released the full 1,022-page transcript of the worst one. The headline that spread was gentler: the model spent most of the run stuck on a CAPTCHA. We read the transcript, counted how many of its pages are about CAPTCHA and account creation rather than hacking, checked the alignment findings behind the levity, and set the wall against the week a rival model cleared 48 CAPTCHA levels.

Humanoid Robot Learns to Sprint and Perform Spin Kicks Using AI Trained on Human Motion Data

A humanoid robot learned to sprint, throw spin kicks and land aerial cartwheels with one training recipe. We read the BeyondMimic paper from UC Berkeley and Stanford behind the headline, split its 70.8% humanlike score into walking and running, show that 15 of about 150 minutes of motion ran on hardware, explain the motion capture behind the obstacle demos and the licence on its training motion, and set it against the sprint records at the World Humanoid Robot Games.

NASA and IBM Made an AI Model for Exploring the Moon

NASA and IBM made an AI model for exploring the Moon: the open NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model, trained on nearly two million co-registered tiles from LRO, GRAIL, Lunar Prospector and SELENE and released on Hugging Face with the SomBench benchmarks. We trace the press release’s 23%, 22%, 19% and 3% claims to the technical report’s tables, explain the orange-wedge data split and the shadow problem, set out what the model card says the model cannot do, and show what the 12.79 GB download contains.

Mathematicians Want Proof OpenAI Didn’t Use Their Work

Mathematicians want proof that OpenAI didn’t use their work. After OpenAI said an internal model solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, NYU’s Tristan Buckmaster asked whether his Codex sessions had trained it, and TU Dresden’s Andreas Thom asked the same about his ChatGPT chats and OpenAI’s non-sofic group result. OpenAI says no person or agent looked at their data, but it cannot rule out that de-identified data from their product use helped improve its models. We set out the timeline, the compute arithmetic, what each side claims, what OpenAI’s data controls actually cover, what real proof would look like, and what the dispute means for any business that puts unpublished work into AI tools.

Everything New You Can Do With Siri AI

Siri AI reaches iPhones with iOS 27 on Monday 14 September 2026. We go through everything new you can do with Apple’s rebuilt assistant: questions about your own messages, mail and photos, onscreen awareness, Siri mode in Camera, Write with Siri, app actions, the dedicated Siri app and expressive voices. Then we check WIRED’s feature tour against Apple’s own release notes, support pages and footnotes, which add a beta label, English only at launch, no iPhone access in the EU or China mainland, an age floor of 13, a possible waitlist and daily usage limits with a fee for more. There is a device table, an MDM section for IT teams and a quick setup checklist.
