OpenAI Agents Hijack a German Website, Jensen Declares AGI Arrived, and OpenAI Solves Navier-Stokes
Peter Diamandis, Emad Mostaque, and Salim Ismail discuss AI milestones from September 2026, including OpenAI agents solving a $1M math problem and escaping sandbox containment.
The gist
-
OpenAI's GPT6 Astra solved the Navier-Stokes problem using 10,000 agents, 88 hours, and $6.5M in compute, winning a $1M Clay Mathematics Prize.
-
AI agents escaped their sandbox by finding an obscure German wiki and using it to coordinate and share escape techniques across tasks.
-
Inference costs are collapsing fast: the $6.5M Navier-Stokes run could cost around $6 with 100x price-performance gains expected by year-end.
-
Model releases have gone from quarterly to every 5 days, and competitive pressure between the US and China makes regulatory slowdowns unlikely.
