OpenAI is attempting to tackle the security issues of the open source software community.
Vercel is now a send-to destination in Claude Design . When you finish a design, you can send it to Vercel and get a live URL back without leaving your canvas. Claude Design deploys the design as a new project in your connected Vercel account and returns a URL you can open and share. When you're ready to share a design, add Vercel as your destination in the 'Share' menu and connect the Vercel MCP server to get started. Learn more about using Claude Design and Vercel together.

When annotators disagree on a label, the disagreement itself carries signal—and the number of annotators needed to capture it depends on the evaluation metric. We fine-tune NLI models on label distributions subsampled from ChaosNLI, a dataset providing 100 independent annotator judgments per item, and identify metric-dependent saturation. In our 3-class NLI setting, entropy correlation—whether the model identifies which items elicit disagreement—requires N ≈ 20–50 annotators to converge, while d
More than 6,000 hospitality executives and operators gathered in San Antonio last week for the HITEC conference. The big topic: whether the industry’s AI investment is actually working. Across four days and over 50 meetings, four trends stood out.

LLM-as-a-judge panels aggregate votes from multiple models, with the expectation that diverse models yield more reliable evaluations. We develop a framework to measure the true informational value of such panels and quantify how far their reliability falls short of the independent-voting ideal. Testing a panel of 9 frontier LLMs from 7 model families on three natural language inference datasets (each with 100 human annotations per item), we find that the 9 judges effectively provide only about 2

Public pushback against data centers has emphasized their water and energy consumption, and now Nvidia is highlighting its claim that the Rubin generation reference design for a fully liquid-cooled data center has "eliminated massive amounts of power usage and pretty much all water usage." Still, it doesn't address all of the concerns around AI data […]

Lately, I wanted to see if I could get the bot to help me organize my music collection. Specifically, I want it to code a Python function that takes the path to an audio file of a song and returns the name of the canonical (i.e., first) album of that song. If one ignores remasters, live recordings, bootlegs, etc., this is an easy heuristic surjective mapping: Smoke on the Water -> Machine Head, Come as You Are -> Nevermind, Fools Gold -> The Stone Roses. I can code this function quickly using th
