AI search is underperforming for Google, and it's killing Reddit's traffic. What now?

Anthropic filed its S-1 this week to prepare for its IPO.

The full text is finally here, so we are giving it the full RTFB of model card treatment.

Voters have other things on their minds — for now. PLUS: OpenAI’s clever policy to fight deepfakes, and the Anthropic S-1

Anthropic is a frustrating company.

Gemini 4’s model card is a compact 14 pages.

What is “night” to a machine?

Why we're betting on AI realism. PLUS: The hell of PHP2Shell

It was the probably worst day in cybersecurity history.

Anthony Cimino offered the closest thing to an official response we have seen on the leaked Anthropic draft bill I covered on Saturday.

What do you think?

There is a newly leaked bill that Anthropic is purportedly shopping around is (if you assume its bugs get fixed).

AI might not yet be eating the physical world.

The amount of code being written at Anthropic continues to rise exponentially.

Will the approach that beat Meta in New Mexico work against ChatGPT?

It has been roughly a year since my last dedicated post on this question. Its first sentence has not changed: I happily admit I am deeply confused about consciousness.

Three OpenAI safety researchers, Tomek Korbak, Mikita Balesni and Jasmine Wang, were fired, ostensibly for ‘mishandling sensitive company information.’

Will we give robots the moon?

It is kind of a huge deal.

OpenAI publishes hundreds of math proofs from unreleased frontier model, Mistral and Reflection AI launch open-weight models to rival China, and more!

OpenAI’s math breakthroughs may trigger an identity crisis for mathematicians. Who’s next?

The big drop of this week was not a new AI model.

If you are familiar with my previous posts on model welfare for new Claude models, you can skip the Introduction and The Story So Far.

Who chooses what AI gets to do?

(Belated post :/ ) Anthropic releases Opus 5.5 with lower prices and Fable-level performance, OpenAI launches GPT-6 Sol and Luna, boasting lower cost and fewer mistakes

Those who know keep warning us about AI risks.

Is Google back?

The leaders in AI were invited to the White House.

Anthropic and OpenAI race to release smarter and cheaper models, OpenAI discloses nine misalignment incidents, and more!

With safety questions still swirling, the company introduces a more business-focused take on agents

On the eve of the company's developer conference, it cancels a new model over safety fears

OpenAI has been holding out on us.

Where do you exceed the capabilities of an LLM?

Dario Amodei’s essay We Must Pace the Frontier committed Anthropic to embedded evaluators, who would be placed inside Anthropic and given employee-level access, so they could provide outside perspective and also reports on what was happening.

When it comes to making things, or doing most things in general, Fable 5.1 and especially GPT-6 Astra raised my ambition level.

Jensen Huang accidentally called for shutting down OpenAI and intentionally called for spending vastly more on safety.

Opus 5.5 was released on Tuesday.

A belated discussion of Astra’s release, a bunch of AI incidents, and the broader situation we are in with regards to AI safety.

Introducing the world’s most powerful model, at least by some measures like Artificial Analysis or any standard benchmark list, which is now Claude Opus 5.5.

Are consumer agents the future — or a mirage?
