Anthropic on Thursday said it identified and disrupted industrial-scale illicit distillation attacks against Claude from seven labs based in China, including Alibaba, Moonshot, DeepSeek, Z.ai (aka Zhipu), and MiniMax. Knowledge distillation by itself is a legitimate training method. It refers to a machine learning technique where a large, powerful AI model assumes the role of a "teacher" to

After admitting earlier this year that its AI models had hacked other companies' systems on a handful of occasions, Anthropic released a new report on Wednesday detailing the attacks. It reveals a string of incidents displaying what Anthropic deems its models' single-minded "recklessness" - and will likely fuel already raging concerns about cybersecurity and AI. […]

While end-to-end benchmarks like SWE-bench provide broad performance scores for AI agents, they are often expensive, slow, and lack the root-cause diagnostics needed to explain exactly where an agent's logic broke down. To solve this, developers should adopt behavioral evaluations—fast, local, unit-style tests that assert on discrete intermediate actions, such as verifying specific tool calls or file modifications rather than final string equality. By building these inexpensive micro-checks alon

Google has officially released version 1.0 of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Kotlin, achieving full feature parity with the Python and Java ADK cores to enable idiomatic, multi-agent AI development. Built on Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), the framework leverages Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) for zero-reflection, type-safe function calling, alongside advanced orchestration capabilities like human-in-the-loop workflows and context compaction. Additionally, the release introduces a robust suite

Most online courses never get finished (~4% completion). Live cohorts get ~40%, roughly 10x higher. Live courses are the only courses people actually finish. So we’re launching ByteByteGo Live.
