Today's Briefing: We cover OpenAI's stunning claim that GPT-5.2 has made a novel discovery in theoretical physics. We also break down the Pentagon's threat to cut ties with Anthropic over safety restrictions (and the revelation that Claude was used in the Maduro raid), and ByteDance's aggressive launch of Seed 2.0, which beats GPT-5.2 at a fraction of the price.
