GPT-5.6 Sol Automates Quantum Experiments at MIT

Felix Pinkston　　Sep 11, 2026 21:51　　MIT uses OpenAIs GPT-5.6 Sol to automate quantum computing experiments, saving time and enhancing research efficiency.　　OpenAI‘s flagship AI model, GPT-5.6 Sol, is being used by researchers at MIT to automate critical aspects of quantum computing experiments, significantly streamlining workflows in one of the most complex fields of modern science. Beatriz Yankelevich, a graduate student with MIT’s Engineering Quantum Systems Group (EQuS), has successfully deployed the model to autonomously conduct measurements on superconducting qubits, the building blocks of quantum processors.　　Quantum computing relies on qubits, which operate using the principles of quantum mechanics. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in superpositions of states, allowing quantum computers to tackle computational problems that are intractable for traditional systems. However, preparing and calibrating qubits is a labor-intensive process requiring hundreds to thousands of interdependent measurements—a problem MIT researchers are addressing with AI.　　Yankelevich connected GPT-5.6 Sol to laboratory software via Codex, enabling the AI to execute routine measurement workflows autonomously. The system analyzes results, adjusts experimental parameters dynamically, and saves findings for subsequent stages. This automation has freed researchers from constant supervision, allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks like designing experiments and interpreting data. “I can have agents running measurements overnight

Ethereum Targets October 6 for Glamsterdam Sepolia Fork

Developers still hope Glamsterdam can reach mainnet before the end of 2026, despite unresolved testing issues.　　Ethereum developers have tentatively scheduled the Glamsterdam upgrade for Ethereums Sepolia testnet on October 6 at 13:53 UTC, even as private devnet testing continues to uncover bugs.　　The date gives developers a path toward a December mainnet release, but it remains conditional on whether the next testing phase can produce a stable network.　　Glamsterdam Date Depends on Devnet Testing　　Protocol specialist Christine D. Kim noted in her latest newsletter that developers agreed to the October 6 Sepolia date while acknowledging several caveats, the biggest of which is that Glamsterdam has yet to run successfully on a stable private devnet.　　Glamsterdam-Devnet-9 launched on September 1 with 1,000 validator nodes, making it the largest devnet of its kind by node count so far. But the network is not finalizing, meaning too few validators are correctly proposing and attesting to the chain head.　　Ethereum Foundation (EF) developer operations engineer Stefan Starflinger said the size of the network exposed problems, noting it “showed that there are still quite a few edge cases and issues” left to address. He added that the previous devnet, Devnet-8, had an even more serious flaw, a bug that could

SUI Price Prediction Eyes $0.85 if Buyers Defend $0.71 Support

TLDR:SUI price prediction centers on $0.71–$0.73 support, with $0.85 above and the $0.62–$0.63 floor below if selling continues.Sector rotation weighs on SUI as Ethereum and Solana advance. Meanwhile, SUI falls 1.40% to $0.730 against a broadly flat market.Stablecoin growth contrasts with lower total value locked, while continuing token unlocks add circulating supply during softer spot demand.Bitguru targets $0.85 and $0.92 after a $0.70 defense. Ali Martinez places the channel ceiling near $0.84, with both tracking similar support.　　SUI is down 1.40% to $0.730 over 24 hours, trailing a broadly flat market. That relative weakness reflects rotation away from lagging Layer 1 tokens and a fragile chart structure. Ethereum and Solana advanced while SUI lost ground, sharpening the contrast across large-cap networks.　　The SUI price now sits inside the $0.71 to $0.73 support area watched by traders. This SUI price prediction centers on whether buyers can defend that floor and interrupt the decline. A hold could reopen $0.84 to $0.85, while failure exposes the $0.62 to $0.63 multi-year base. Market structure, rather than headlines, drives the immediate setup.　　Sui Coin PriceSUI Price Prediction Puts the $0.71 Floor in Focus　　Bitguru identifies $0.70 as the immediate support zone after SUI extended its pullback.

Bitcoin could benefit from failed Treasury intervention despite persistent inflation — CoinShares

Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader crypto market saw brief gains Friday following the release of US inflation data.　　The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% in August, accelerating from a 0.1% increase in July, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). On an annual basis, CPI increased 3.4%, unchanged from the previous month and matching economist expectations.　　Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.3% in August after increasing 0.2% in July. Annual core inflation eased slightly to 2.4% from 2.5%.　　Discover more　　Deploy Cloud Servers　　Finance　　Choose POS Systems　　Despite the persistent inflation pressures, the crypto market responded positively. Bitcoin briefly rose above $79,000 after the inflation print, then retraced to near $77,000. Altcoins reacted similarly, with Ethereum (ETH) climbing above $2,600 for the first time since January before settling near $2,540.　　In a statement on Friday, CoinShares noted that the latest inflation data was “not particularly helpful for Bitcoin.”　　The firm noted that the inflation figures could strengthen the case for a September rate hike, reinforcing the risk that monetary policy remains restrictive. That outcome would present a near-term headwind for Bitcoin, particularly following the top cryptos recent resistance as it attempts to move above $80,000.　　CoinShares added that a sustained break above that

Bitcoin Outlook Darkens as US Inflation Dims Hopes for Fed

Bitcoins outlook weakened after US inflation data offered little support for a near-term Federal Reserve rate cut, according to CoinShares. The firm said crypto investment flows turned negative as investors reassessed expectations for easier monetary policy.　　Headline consumer prices rose in line with expectations, while core inflation came in slightly hotter than forecast.

Crude Oil buckles early and grinds back on talk of a Hormuz arrangement

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) trades near $97.00, about 3.4% lower and on track for its first down session in five. The Financial Times reported on Friday that Gulf foreign ministers will meet their Iranian counterpart in the Omani city of Salalah, in a push to win backing for a temporary arrangement covering shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The meeting is on Monday. The price moved on Friday.　　Nothing moved through the strait, and the price moved anyway　　Preliminary vessel tracking counted seven ships through the Strait of Hormuz on September 10, against eleven the day before. Before the war began on February 28, the waterway handled roughly 125 cargo vessels a day and about one-fifth of the worlds seaborne Crude Oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The waterway is not congested.　　Gulf producers have kept barrels moving by shuttling cargoes out to waiting tankers rather than sailing loaded ships through the strait, so exports have held up better than transit counts suggest. The cost of that workaround sits on top of every cargo, and tanker earnings are at records because of it. Friday‘s discount was applied to the freight, not to a barrel that has started moving again.

Crypto hack: Blockstream rejects ransom as nearly 600 Bitcoin remains missing

Blockstream has refused to pay for the return of Bitcoin after a theft from the Liquid Network because it believes that security researchers should not steal!　　Most of the funds have already been returned, but nearly 600 BTC, which is worth about $47 million, remains with the people behind the attack.　　How the Liquid Network hack unfolded　　The incident began when attackers found a flaw in software used by Liquid, a Bitcoin-based network designed to support faster transfers and other financial services.　　Through the weakness, around 4,000 Liquid Bitcoinswere generated, which were then exchanged for the real Bitcoin on the network. They [the attackers] described what they did as “white-hat” activity, and about3,400 BTCwas returned afterwards.　　But Blockstream said that the negotiation it had before with the people behind it was just to get users funds back, and that it should not be interpreted as accepting their actions or demands.　　Blockstream draws a line over the remaining bitcoin　　In a public statement, Blockstream declared that it would not be paying a ransom to recover the remaining funds.　　Taking assets without authorization and withholding their return is a crime, not responsible disclosure. It is not white-hat activity. It is theft.　　Blockstream said they were not going to pay, stating that

Apple has to pay Samsung for every iPhone Duo it sells under exclusive display deal

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) reportedly has to pay Samsung Electronics (KRX: 005930) $250 for every main folding panel fitted inside the iPhone Duo.　　Leaker Instant Digital said on Chinese social network Weibo that the supply contract lasts three years. It covers the current Duo and the models Apple releases during that period. Samsung was already in possession of the exclusive screen contract because it was reported that Apple could not find any other manufacturer capable of giving the desired screen.　　Apple is now bound to its main competitor in the phone-making industry for the expensive component. LG Display (NYSE: LPL), an important screen supplier for Apple, is not capable of manufacturing the flexible screen.　　Discover more　　Financial　　News　　Track Stocks Bonds　　BOE Technology Group (SZSE: 000725) already sells folding panels to Huawei, but Apple reportedly decided BOEs version was not good enough for its phone. Samsung was therefore left as the only supplier that met the requirements.　　Samsung secures three years of Apple orders as each inner panel costs $250　　The display of the Duo is more difficult to produce as compared to the display that is present within the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
