It's been a week that proves AI is moving faster than anyone can fully keep up with, unless you’ve got a good backhand. On episode 124 of Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang and co-host David Zax are joined by Bri Kopecki, Aaron Baughman, and Olivia Buzek to talk about new advances from OpenAI, new cybersecurity threats, and new tools for US Open fans from IBM.

First, OpenAI introduced GPT-6 Astra as the company's most intelligent and aligned model yet, reaching state-of-the-art results across computer use, software engineering, cybersecurity and science. Not missing a beat, the company dropped a second bit of news: an internal model produced a proof related to the 3-D Navier-Stokes equation, resolving one of mathematics' most famous unsolved problems. We dig into both the breakthrough and the conversation around the use of AI to solve these seemingly impossible problems.

Then, IBM and the USTA unveiled new AI-powered fan features for the 2026 US Open, including a Serve Quality metric and personalized stats, designed to bring fans closer to the action than ever.

Finally, we talk WeWorm, an AI-assisted exploit by California security firm built as a proof-of-concept self-spreading worm, capable of hijacking WeChat accounts before a victim even had a chance to answer a phone call. It's a sobering demonstration of what AI-assisted offensive security now looks like.

All that and more on Mixture of Experts.
