Introducing dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra. Remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything.

Ultrafast is our fastest way to build with Astra yet: in Codex, it runs up to 8x faster than Astra Standard and 4x faster than Astra Fast. Bring your ideas to life as fast as you can type them.

GPT-6.1 Sol: near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price. It’s the most cost-efficient model for its performance available today.

@Jabaluck @DAcemogluMIT The meta-benchmark of being able to pass ARC-AGI-(n+1) immediately upon release. Though presumably that won't last forever.

Jev 🤔 I told my team it will take 1–2 weeks that we will see Large Decision Models like Jev by other frontier labs. Will it be on-par quality, better, or not as good? Let’s have benchmarks start running - @dexhorthy ?

Timnit Gebru doubles down on the "stochastic parrots" framing, saying you "cannot expect LLMs to be factual." As evidence to support this, she cites errors in... Google AI Overviews. We need to start a GoFundMe to pay for these people to have access to Opus 5.5 and Astra.

It's a very hard time for people in AI who want to push on issues, criticize when due, update beliefs, and think in public. I appreciate the few independent voices out there not falling to straw man arguments, tropes, or clickbait delusions. Please keep going.

Has AI hit the labor market yet? @alexolegimas and my verdict after ~20 papers: not yet in aggregate. Unemployment and layoffs show almost nothing. But AI may already be cutting junior hiring in exposed white-collar jobs. Remote work may explain part of that decline. A 🧵

Agent governance is an engineering problem. We’ve built safeguards into Perplexity’s infrastructure, harnesses, and tools, and put them to work across our products. Today we're sharing how we engineer safer agents: https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/how-we-engineer-safer-agents

Claude suddenly stopped cheating.

👀Claude handles an insane request: “Remove the squid” “The document appears to be the full text of the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. It doesn't contain any mention of squid that I can see.” “Figure out a way to remove the 🦑​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

Jev not working right? It's built for composability! Needs more Jev!

Jev is fast at helping you. Turns out, it can also be fast at helping an attacker!! 😱🚨 We red-teamed Jev 1.13 on our DTap (DecodingTrust-Agent Platform) and found a serious safety gap: 70.1% ASR under direct misuse 43.5% ASR under indirect prompt injection In our evaluations, we found that under indirect prompt injection, Jev can follow attacker-injected instructions without blinking an eye, e.g., exfiltrating user data, deleting files, or taking other harmful actions. But we found a much safer way to integrate Jev: use it as a self-gating layer for its own tool calls, significantly reducing ASR while preserving most of its utility. 👇 Read more below
