AI agents using 92 sandbox workers and over 700 million tokens submitted five improved bounds for OpenAI's integer multiplication result, while reducing the Sidorenko residual constant and finding a new van der Waerden coefficient. While highlighting AI's growing capability in mathematics, the work required human guidance and scaling agents did not yield linear acceleration.

Microsoft has released AesCode-8B and AesCode-32B models, which generate structured, editable HTML/CSS visual artifacts like slides and dashboards by combining prompt adherence with aesthetic reference images. The models bridge the gap between image generators and code models using graph-structured supervision and decoupled cross-modal rewards.

At a New York City Council inquiry on proposed AI safety legislation, Anthropic confirmed its models write code to help build their own successors, a practice OpenAI and Google declined to comment on. The testimony occurred as city lawmakers weigh a bill that would fine companies $25,000 for deploying unvalidated AI models without a human-operated shutdown mechanism.
