| ๐ Happy Halloween. It's Friday, October 31st. | On this day in tech history: In 1984, the reasoning paradigm of abductive inference (in contrast to deduction or induction) was formally re‑examined in AI literature (e.g., diagnostic systems supporting multiple faults). It's a deep‑cut milestone that foreshadows current hybrid reasoning/ML approaches, yet is rarely celebrated in mainstream tech‑history. | In today's email: | OpenAI rolls out Sora monetization Google scales AI across math, development, and XR 5 New AI Tools Latest AI Research Papers

| OpenAI rolls out gpt-oss safeguard, Aardvark, Sora monetization, and OWL architecture | Safety got a rethink with OpenAI's gpt oss safeguard 120B and 20B. Unlike traditional classifiers trained on static datasets, these open-weight models ingest developer policy text alongside user input at inference and reason through multi-policy compliance in real time. Chain-of-thought (CoT) explanations make decisions auditable and tweakable on the fly. |  | Image: OpenAI |
| Benchmarks show higher multi-policy accuracy than prior gpt-oss and GPT-5 models, though the internal Safety Reasoner remains slightly ahead. Both models are on Hugging Face, with a hackathon scheduled for December 8. |  | Image: OpenAI |
| Security gets an upgrade with Aardvark, a GPT-5-powered agentic researcher. It autonomously scans repositories, builds threat models, evaluates exploitability, and generates Codex-assisted patches for human review. Unlike static analysis or fuzzing, Aardvark reasons about code like a human researcher, catching complex bugs, logic flaws, and privacy issues. Benchmarking shows 92% detection of known and synthetic vulnerabilities, with multiple CVEs issued in open-source projects. |  | OpenAI @OpenAI |  |

| Content creation in Sora now supports character cameos, multi-clip video stitching, and paid generation credits. Users can insert reusable characters, monetize IP, and stitch longer narratives. Free generation limits are 30/day, with 1,000-credit packs available for $40. This builds a scalable creator economy while managing GPU demand. Infrastructure expands with a 1GW Stargate campus in Michigan, part of a 4.5GW partnership with Oracle. |  | OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs |  |

You've asked for more flexible ways to get more Codex usage: Introducing credits for Codex on ChatGPT Plus and Pro. Credits give you more usage beyond what's included in your plan, kicking in when you hit limits. As a bonus, we also reset Codex rate limits for everyone.

Partnering with top institutions including Imperial College, IAS, IHES, Simons Institute, and TIFR, the project combines Gemini Deep Think for multi-step reasoning, AlphaEvolve for algorithm search, and AlphaProof for formal proof completion. Gemini scored gold at the IMO (35/42), while AlphaEvolve set a new record for 4x4 matrix multiplication and improved solutions in 20 percent of more than 50 open problems. |  | Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind |  |
