WILLEMSTAD, THE HAGUE – There is currently no cause for concern regarding potential Venezuelan aggression toward the ABC Islands, according to Dutch Ministers of Defence Ruben Brekelmans and Foreign Affairs Caspar Veldkamp. Their statement came in response to questions from Members of Parliament Jan Paternotte, Anne-Marijke van der Werf, and Kiki Bamenga (all D66) following a letter from Bonaire’s Island Governor, John Soliano.  Soliano expressed concern over what he described as a “growing possibility of military threats from Venezuela,” and asked the ministers how defense and support for Bonaire would be arranged in the event of an attack.  In their…

Toward the end of March, OpenAI said it intended to release its first “open” language model since GPT‑2 sometime this year. Now, details about that model are beginning to trickle out from the company’s sessions with the AI developer community. Aidan Clark, OpenAI’s VP of research, is leading development of the open model, which is in the very early stages, sources familiar with the proceedings told TechCrunch. The company is aiming to release the model — a reasoning model along the lines of its o-series models — in early summer, and wants to make sure it tops benchmarks versus other…

Last year was monumental for the AI industry in the U.S. and beyond. There were 49 startups that raised funding rounds worth $100 million or more in 2024, per our count at TechCrunch; three companies raised more than one “megaround,” and seven companies raised rounds $1 billion in size or larger. How will 2025 compare? It’s still the first half of the year, but so far it looks like 2024’s momentum will continue this year. There have already been multiple billion-dollar rounds this year, and more AI megarounds closed in the U.S. in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024. Here…

In mid-April, OpenAI launched a powerful new AI model, GPT-4.1, which it claimed “excelled” at following instructions. But the results of several independent tests suggest the model is less aligned — that is to say, less reliable — than previous OpenAI releases. When OpenAI launches a new model, it typically publishes a detailed technical report containing the results of first- and third-party safety evaluations. The company skipped that step for GPT-4.1, claiming that the model wasn’t “frontier” and thus did not warrant a separate report. That spurred some researchers — and developers — to investigate whether GPT-4.1 behaves less desirably…
