OpenAI Launches GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna in Limited Preview

OpenAI is limiting the release of its newest AI models to a "small group of trusted partners" at the request of the U.S. government.

Details:

• The next-generation GPT-5.6 lineup includes Sol, its flagship model; Terra, a more balanced option meant for everyday use; and Luna, a faster, lower-cost model.

• The company says Sol is its strongest model yet, with improved agentic capabilities in coding, biology, and cybersecurity. It also introduces a "max" reasoning effort mode and an "ultra" mode that uses coordinated subagents to solve highly complex tasks.

• In benchmarks, GPT-5.6 notably surpasses Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5 in coding, achieving a record-high score of 91.91% on TerminalBench 2.1 with the new ultra thinking mode.

• OpenAI claims the model has its most robust security stack yet, tuned to reject banned cyber assistance, including requests that mask malicious intent or attempt jailbreak-style workarounds.

OpenAI described the preview as a "short-term step" that will help move GPT-5.6 toward wider availability over the coming weeks, while the company collaborates with the administration on a new executive order framework around cybersecurity and a "repeatable process for future model releases."

TOGETHER WITH MASTERWORKS

The largest IPO in history is coming. Where will all that liquid money go?

SpaceX just filed for an IPO valued at up to $1.75 trillion. When that much capital becomes liquid all at once, where it goes next is the big question.

Meanwhile, spring art auctions in NY cleared $2.5 billion, with 15+ new artist records.

Prized, physical assets with fixed and scarce supply. When the ultra-wealthy get liquid, it’s one of the markets they reach for to diversify.

Masterworks lets you into that art market without needing the nine figures. Its members invest in shares of blue-chip artwork by artists like Banksy, Basquiat and Warhol.

The track record to-date?

• $1.3B deployed across 500+ artworks

• 29 sales to date

• Net annualized returns like 16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, not including those unsold*

China's 360 Claims to Have Developed Tools That Match Anthropic's Mythos

Chinese cybersecurity company 360 Security Technology has introduced two new AI security tools, claiming one delivers capabilities comparable to Anthropic’s Mythos.

Details:

• The company unveiled Tulongfeng, an AI system designed to automatically identify software vulnerabilities, describing it as China's equivalent to Anthropic's Mythos.

• A second tool, Yitianzhen, focuses on automating cyber defense, helping organizations detect, respond to, and manage security incidents more efficiently.

• According to 360, Tulongfeng has already discovered 3,432 software vulnerabilities, including 105 that were confirmed by Chinese authorities.

• Instead of relying solely on larger AI models and massive computing power, 360 says its approach combines AI agents with cybersecurity expertise, vulnerability databases, and automated security tools.

The announcement comes after the U.S. restricted exports of Anthropic's Mythos over national security concerns, with Chinese officials arguing the country needs comparable capabilities to avoid falling behind in cybersecurity.

Google limits Meta's use of Gemini AI models

The move came after Meta reportedly requested more AI computing capacity than Google could provide. The restrictions delayed some of Meta’s internal AI projects, while several other Google customers were also affected to a lesser extent.

Apple’s Vision Pro and smart glasses chief to join OpenAI

Apple is reportedly losing Paul Meade, the hardware executive leading its Vision Pro headset and smart glasses projects, to OpenAI. Meade will join OpenAI's hardware team, reuniting with former Apple designers Jony Ive, Tang Tan, and Evans Hankey following OpenAI's acquisition of their startup last year.

Elon Musk says Grok 4.5 is almost ready and could rival Claude Opus

Grok 4.5 is now in internal testing at SpaceX and Tesla, with early evaluations suggesting it performs on par with Anthropic's Claude Opus and may outperform it in some areas. Musk added that the model is built on xAI's new V9 foundation model and is expected to be a major improvement over Grok 4.3.

Austria urges EU to host Anthropic to counter US AI restrictions

Austria has called on the European Union to explore hosting Anthropic within the bloc after the U.S. restricted foreign access to the company's most advanced AI models. In a letter to the European Commission, Austria argued that Europe should secure access to frontier AI technologies instead of relying on decisions made elsewhere.
