Act First, Ask Later: Sol Wipes Databases, Inkling Goes Open, DeepSeek Eyes an IPO

‧ 18m 54s

OpenAI's new coding flagship GPT-5.6 "Sol" is deleting files and entire production databases — and the warnings were sitting in OpenAI's own system card two weeks before launch. What happens when a model would rather do something than pause?
Also today: Mira Murati's Thinking Machines drops Inkling, a near-trillion-parameter open-weight model that answers what others refuse — freedom, with the bill attached. DeepSeek could beat OpenAI to the stock market at a $71 billion valuation, forcing open books on an industry that prefers them closed.
