GPT-Live-1 - openai gpt live 1 api agents api public beta a telephone switchboard socket grid v2

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.

chatgpt pro subscriptions on hold astra demand a pressure cooker with a weighted valve

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.

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.

openai math mathematicians want proof didnt use their work a nautilus spiral seashell

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.

Apple Watch’s New AI Features Are Normalizing the Idea That Technology Is Always Listening

Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 add Audio Intelligence: Sound Recognition, Shazam, Live Rewind and Siri Recap. Apple’s privacy paper shows careful engineering, with no audio recordings, a hardware-isolated Secure Exclave, no speaker identification and summaries deleted after seven days. It also shows the gap TechCrunch called normalising always-listening technology: Live Rewind chimes and lights a microphone indicator, while Siri Recap, the feature that runs in the background, gives people nearby no audible signal. We set out the data flow, the consent laws in the US and UK, Apple’s Siri history and what businesses should decide before the late-2026 beta.

Clearview AI Is Testing an AI Tool That Would Let Cops Unearth Your Life Online

Clearview AI has built and tested InquiryIQ, an unreleased AI assistant that takes a face-recognition lead and fans out across the web to assemble possible employers, aliases, associates, addresses and arrest history. WIRED found it in files Clearview’s login page sends to every visitor, and one of the models tested came from xAI, the Grok maker now part of SpaceX. We downloaded the same public files on 10 September 2026, recorded what they still say, and set the prototype against Clearview AI’s legal record in Europe, the UK and the US.

Anyvids Is Now Available on AIxploria — Ranked 251st, Below Eight of the Models Inside It

AIxploria listed Anyvids at 05:25 UTC on 10 September 2026 with a Free trial tag, a 4.5 rating from four votes and a badge reading “#251 in Video Generators”. We tested that badge against known category positions, read the platform’s pricing page, terms, refund, acceptable use and privacy policies, changelog and page source, and checked the card claim by claim. The card is accurate. What it omits — an unnamed operator, a 100-credit refund ceiling, per-second pricing and tools that raise consent and fake-review questions — is what decides whether a business should use it.
