In a competitive release day, Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 tops leaderboards while OpenAI counters with cheaper models. OpenAI claims its systems have solved 100+ open math problems in under four weeks, raising verification concerns from the mathematical community. Meta expands Muse AI agent capabilities across apps and retail partners. In a significant discovery, Claude identifies a previously unknown enzyme system in bacteriophage DNA.
