Via The Information, OpenAI has 'largely automated the process of training new experimental models' internally — widely read as a real step toward recursive self-improvement. OpenAI also blogged that a newly trained model solved 100 open long-standing math problems, surprising its own researchers. Elsewhere, Xiaomi's MiMo shipped an impressive model while Grok 4.7 underperformed. (Third-party reporting; details unverified.)
