GitHub Copilot app adds built-in code review tools

GitHub’s Copilot app now lets you review, test, and run AI-made code inside one window. The update builds in panels to compare code changes, run commands, and view your project like a user would. Before, you had to juggle between multiple apps. Now, you can manage the whole code review loop without leaving Copilot.

Why it mattersThis moves more of your programming work into a single app, letting you check AI-generated code step-by-step. It’s more transparent—and less risky—if you can see and test every change the AI suggests.

OpenAI says AI cracked landmark math problem, faces credit dispute

OpenAI claims its AI has solved a 200-year-old fluid dynamics equation, one of the Clay Millennium math prize problems. The announcement is under fire: NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster says OpenAI rushed their work after learning of his progress and tried to sideline other contributors. OpenAI denies accessing rivals’ data, but both sides accuse the other of trying to shape credit. The company spent millions on computing to finish the proof.
