If you are wondering whether your website is affected, we have packaged a Codex skill to help check.
Point your Codex at this repo to guide you through it: github.com/openai/php2shell-…
OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites.
Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors.
Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact.
This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OpenAI may claim a role in the coordinated response and patching process. But the initial discovery and exploit development, however, occurred several months earlier by an independent researcher.

Try Grok @Bot
Grok @Bot upgrades
Grok Bot 0.71.2 is out, and this is a very huge upgrade
You can now send files up to 250 MB, and videos up to 1 GB. Full-length clips, raw footage, long recordings, big reports and heavy PDFs can go straight to Grok Bot without compressing, trimming or splitting anything first
You can also send up to 20 files in a single message. Drop an entire batch of photos, screenshots or documents at once and let Grok Bot work through all of them together
Notifications are smarter, so you hear about what actually matters, when it matters
And forms now arrive pre-filled. Grok Bot fills in what it already knows, so you just check and confirm instead of typing everything again
This update is really good

This works well. Screenshot of credit card is the easiest way, unless you want to fill out the secure vault data.
Seems a bit silly to hand your credit card to people you don’t know at a restaurant, but not to Grok Bot.
My son loves basketball, and I want him to be able to practice at home… honestly we live in a small home, though, and I don’t want the constant sound of a bouncing ball disturbing our neighbors.
So I sent my Grok Bot one text: “Order me the DribbleUp silent ball, best price, shipped to my home.”
It compared prices, found the best deal, checked out with my card, and placed the order - $32.91 total w/ free shipping, arriving this Thursday.
I didn’t open a shopping app or fill out a single form.
I just wanted a quieter way for my son to work on his game, and my bot handled the shopping.
Having your own AI bot take care of everyday things like this is pretty freakin cool.
His ball is arriving soon and all I needed to do is send a text.
We're expanding access to GPT-Rosalind for academic research.
The new Rosalind Academic Plan helps scientific labs bring AI into the work of understanding biology, exploring ideas, and deciding what to test next—with sponsored access for eligible labs at U.S. universities.
Academic research starts with questions whose impact may take years to impact human health.

BREAKING: Elon Musk has unveiled the Tesla Roadster by launching it off a ramp, where it flipped in midair before landing safely on the ground.
Old friends are the best friends. Jensen rocks.
The Star Mind computer being co-engineered by SpaceX and Nvidia is far better than almost anyone expects and will reach volume production next year.
Working with the incredibly talented Nvidia engineering team is pure joy!
Jensen Huang says he loves working with Elon Musk, and reveals their engineering teams are designing a new type of server to put data centers in space
“I’m delighted that I love working with Elon. He’s using our technology for his own AI in training models and such, deploying models, of course."
"Grok Bot is super cool. The demand for Grok Bot, the consumption for Grok Bot is really skyrocketing. And then, of course, he rents it."
"And so the combination of these three things, he’s fairly unique in doing that. I guess Google does that. That would be yet another example."
"And so I think he also has the advantage that he loves the intersection between computing and the physical buildouts. He loves that whole area. Nobody knows more about energy than he does."
"One particular new market that we’re going to go explore together is putting data centers out in space. Our two engineering teams are working super closely together to create a new type of server, a new type of architecture that might be super good in space and on Earth.”

Duane “Keffe D” Davis was sentenced to 40 years to life for the murder of Tupac Shakur 30 years ago. He has 731 days of credit for time already served toward his sentence. cnn.it/4zB9SEN
The first Starship to return to its launch site, Ship 40's journey took it across air, space, and sea. Now that it is vertical alongside three other Starships in a Megabay at Starbase, it will provide first-of-its-kind data on a flown Starship heatshield, Raptor engines, avionics, and more.

Muse Wonder is benchmaxxed.
Meta says it beats the competition on the key benchmarks. On the BridgeBench lava lamp test it built a red cylinder.
No glass. No lava.
I've never seen a model this benchmaxxed in my life.
