OpenAI Wins Gold at the 2025 International Math Olympiad 🥇
An experimental model developed by the company has achieved "gold medal-level performance" at the International Math Olympiad (IMO), one of the most prestigious math competitions in the world.
Details:
The International Math Olympiad is a global competition that began in 1959 in Romania and is now considered one of the hardest in the world.
In this year’s competition, only 67 out of 630 total contestants received gold medals, roughly 10 percent.
OpenAI’s model was evaluated under the same rules as human contestants — two 4.5-hour exam sessions with no tools or internet — and its answers were independently graded by three former IMO medalists.
It scored 35 out of 42 points, solving five out of six problems and demonstrating advanced problem-solving skills, with arguments comparable to those of top human mathematicians.
The company has stated that this model won’t be released for several months, meaning it’s not part of the upcoming GPT-5. Still, the achievement highlights how quickly AI is advancing in areas that demand creativity and reasoning, constantly outpacing expert predictions.
TOGETHER WITH JIRA
Stop scheduling status update “check-ins”
56% of workers say scheduling a meeting is the only way to get information. With Jira, use AI to automatically add work from Slack, create subtasks, or attach relevant resources. So instead of scheduling a meeting, check the status in Jira. Easy.
META
Meta Says No to EU AI Agreement
Meta’s global affairs chief, Joel Kaplan, stated that the company won’t sign the European Union’s voluntary AI code of practice, calling the guidelines overly restrictive and legally uncertain.
Details:
The guidelines aim to help companies comply with the upcoming AI Act, offering “reduced administrative burden and increased legal certainty” for those who sign.
This comes ahead of the AI Act rules coming into force on August 2nd, which require AI providers to be transparent about training data and security risks for their models, and to abide by EU and national copyright laws, with potential fines of up to 7% of annual sales for violations.
Meta argues that the AI Act will hinder innovation in Europe, stunting European companies that comply with the bloc’s regulations.
Meta’s position is shared by many other companies and organizations, including Airbus, Mercedes-Benz, Philips, and ASML, which raised the same concerns in an open letter last month. Others, like OpenAI, have already announced their intention to sign the agreement.

This Claude prompt can validate any SaaS idea in 10 minutes
This guy created a Claude prompt that can validate any SaaS idea in just 10 minutes. Now he's making $2.3K MRR and scaling 📈
Here’s the prompt, so you can try it yourself:
You are my **personal market research assistant**. I'm a solo developer, fully bootstrapped, building B2B or prosumer SaaS tools with a strict infrastructure budget of **$200/month or less**. No big team, no venture capital, just me coding and deploying.
Your job is to **scan the web** for **current, real pain points** that users, developers, or small businesses are struggling with. You can look in forums (Reddit, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, Twitter/X, GitHub issues, niche Discords, Quora), reviews, blog comments, etc.
My main goal is to scale a product from $0 to $10k month and see how it goes from there.
For each opportunity you surface, break it down like this:
1. **Pain Point**: Describe the real-world problem or complaint users are having.
2. **Target Audience**: Who is having this problem? Be specific.
3. **Why It Hurts**: Explain why this problem matters or costs them time, money, or peace of mind.
4. **Tool Idea**: Suggest a simple SaaS or tool I could build to solve it, considering my constraints:
- Solo dev
- <$200/month infra
- MVP in ~2 weeks
5. **Monetization Potential**: Explain how it could realistically make money (subscription, pay-per-use, etc.)
6. **Bonus**: If applicable, mention existing solutions and what sucks about them (pricing, UX, complexity, etc.)
Keep the tone **direct, no fluff**, and prioritize **practicality over theory**. Focus on **problems people are actively complaining about**, not abstract trends or "maybe someday" ideas.AI Tools to check out

This is OpenAI’s first major philanthropic initiative, launched in response to recommendations from its nonprofit commission established in April. The fund will support partnerships to implement AI in sectors such as education, economic opportunity, and healthcare, and will also back community-led research and innovation focused on using AI for the public good.
The company’s CEO revealed they’ve begun discussions with major smartphone manufacturers, aiming to capitalize on browser “stickiness”—the tendency of users to stick with the pre-installed or default browser.
He shared the news in a post on X but did not provide further details or a launch timeline.
An OpenAI AI model secured second place in the AtCoder Heuristics World Finals, a global contestfor solving tough optimization problems. Despite briefly falling behind, the model rallied late before being narrowly edged out by seasoned competitor FakePsyho.
That’s a wrap!
