Two claims overstated the work.
Ynetnews said OpenAI's model had "apparently cracked" the Riemann hypothesis; OpenAI's nearest result is a weaker one. An alpha app suite became Adobe's "entire Creative Cloud suite." Anthropic's 75% price cut holds for short prompts.

This week's sources are OpenAI's own catalogue of math results, an open-source project's roadmap and Anthropic's price table. Two described work in progress as done. The third held up, depending on what you send the model.
OpenAI's model apparently cracked the Riemann hypothesis, among solutions to 377 unsolved math problems.
Ynetnews, Oct. 7OpenAI posted 722 manuscripts on Oct. 6, grouped into 372 families of results, after giving an unreleased model about 4,000 open problems. None proves the Riemann hypothesis, which says every nontrivial zero of the zeta function has real part 1/2. The closest entry in OpenAI's catalogue claims no zeros with real part above 7/8, a weaker statement OpenAI calls the quasi-Riemann hypothesis. OpenAI says the results are at different stages of verification.
OpenAI math catalogue · OpenAI · Clay Mathematics Institute · Retraction Watch · Let's Data Science · YnetnewsWhy it matters. Some of the results may hold up, and outside checking has begun. On Oct. 7, OpenAI withdrew three manuscripts over a sign error and revised 14 others. Before you repeat an AI result, look for a formal proof or an expert's review.
The Riemann hypothesis puts every nontrivial zero on the dashed line at real part 1/2. OpenAI's entry claims the pink band beyond 7/8 has none. It says nothing about the space in between.

TweakTown headline, Oct. 8The ArtCraft project released seven free, open-source apps modeled on Adobe's, built with Claude Opus 5.5, TweakTown reports. Its roadmap for PhotoCraft, the Photoshop stand-in, last updated Oct. 11, calls it alpha. An Oct. 10 re-measure put its feature breadth at about 76% of Photoshop's and its readiness for real work at about 45%. Beta needs about 75%. By Oct. 11 it had 56 of Photoshop's 68 tools.
PhotoCraft roadmap · TweakTownWhy it matters. The project went from a first commit on Sept. 30 to that point in under two weeks. By its own roadmap, PhotoCraft is still alpha and short of its bar for beta. Test any clone on your own files before you cancel a subscription.
The project's own estimates. Readiness is a weighted score. Breadth is measured from the menus, tools, panels and file formats present.
PhotoCraft roadmapClaude Haiku 5.5 costs around 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5.
Anthropic announcement, Oct. 7Per token, Haiku 5.5 is 90% cheaper for prompts up to 100,000 tokens ($0.10 per million input tokens, against $1) and 50% cheaper above that ($0.50). Anthropic's 75% is a blend: about 90% of Haiku 4.5 requests were short, and the figure allows for the new tokenizer. Anthropic's documentation says the same text counts as about 30% more tokens than on Haiku 4.5.
Anthropic · Claude docsWhy it matters. Your saving depends on what you send. With 30% more tokens, a short request costs about 87% less and a long one about 35% less, by this issue's arithmetic from Anthropic's prices. Batch requests get a further 50% discount on input and output, per Anthropic's documentation. Price a week of your own requests before switching.
Output prices fall by the same shares. Anthropic's 75% average assumes most requests are short.
