Oracle brings ChatGPT and Codex into enterprise apps at AI World

Oracle announced (Oct 27) at Oracle AI World in Las Vegas a collaboration that puts OpenAI models, ChatGPT, and Codex into Oracle applications, data, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Oracle AI Workspace is one experience with ChatGPT plugins for Oracle Fusion Applications, NetSuite, Oracle AI Database, OCI, and other tools, so employees can finish approved workflows under existing approvals. Oracle AI Security Mesh is a managed service that uses OpenAI cyber models to help customers find and fix vulnerabilities on OCI, other clouds, and on-premises systems. Customers set where testing is authorized, and Oracle says it runs the testing infrastructure and safeguards. Oracle App Composer is for building applications with Codex while Oracle manages deployment on OCI, including identity, permissions, and audit controls, and it supports APEXlang. The Oracle AI SMB Bundle is free to start and includes $12,000 in Oracle cloud credits each year, ChatGPT Business, Oracle AI Workspace, Codex, App Composer, OCI, and NetSuite QuickStart. Terms apply. OpenAI’s same-day post says the work builds on the OpenAI API, ChatGPT Work, and Codex, that Oracle reported 130,000 active ChatGPT users and more than 95,000 active Codex users, and that U.S. customers can buy API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work access in Oracle Marketplace with eligible Universal Credits. Those figures are the companies’. Distinct from earlier Oracle and OpenAI cloud-capacity deals.

Anthropic posts a Claude paper claiming to refute ETH

Anthropic deposited (Oct 27) a Hexagon preprint, “A 2^{o(n)} Time Algorithm for 3-SAT,” claiming a deterministic algorithm that solves 3-SAT in subexponential time and therefore refutes the Exponential Time Hypothesis. The abstract says the same algorithm counts satisfying assignments, the harder problem #3-SAT. The provenance note says an internal Claude research model found the core algorithm on October 16 with 14 million output tokens and no human input, and that Anthropic researchers then worked with Claude on the presentation. It also says an internal OpenAI model claims a similar result independently. The paper is formalized in Lean 4. Anthropic’s GitHub note on the artifact says the counting bound is 2^O(n log log n / √log n), that the result is purely asymptotic, and that it says nothing about solving formulas in practice. The note calls the folder a research artifact that is not maintained. These are Anthropic’s claims. They are not treated here as a settled theorem. Distinct from OpenAI’s October 26 post asking outside experts to examine its own write-up.

NVIDIA will invest $3 billion in Meta and expand Muse compute

NVIDIA said (Oct 27) it will invest $3 billion in Meta’s equity offering and expand joint work on Muse and the Muse family of models, including inference and training performance. Meta intends to deploy more NVIDIA Vera Rubin systems and Vera CPUs, plus Spectrum-X Ethernet and BlueField-4. The companies say they will also consider NVIDIA OpenShell for safer agent deployment and NVIDIA Sentry for monitoring agent behavior. Jensen Huang said the goal is infrastructure optimized for AI agents. Mark Zuckerberg said Muse is how Meta brings personal superintelligence to everyone. NVIDIA’s forward-looking statement says completion of the investment depends on closing conditions. The $3 billion figure is NVIDIA’s stated intention, not a completed share purchase. Distinct from Meta’s October 26 financing plan, which said NVIDIA, AMD, and Broadcom had indicated interest in up to $5 billion of Class A shares combined, and from AMD’s separate same-day announcement.
