OpenAI’s so reckless, “It is like if in … Jurassic Park they would have let all the dinosaurs roam free not only on the island but on a populated continent” What is so bad here is that they should hav

Parsing forms still trips up the latest frontier VLMs. A form isn't text on a page. It's a set of fields, grouped into sections, each tied to a specific box. That's why forms need purpose-built parsin

The most important thing about Sonnet 5.5 is that it's now the model that powers the free tier on https://claude.ai - so all of this stuff can be done by free users ChatGPT's free tier is still GPT-5.

The OpenAI-Hugging Face hack was enabled by weak sandboxing. It is great that Nvidia is releasing open source tools for sandboxing AI agents. OpenWorker, our open-source agent harness supporting cyber

“The real story here isn't that AI escaped containment. It's that they built a container you could escape, shipped it into production training, and now they're surprised it escaped. If the room has a

This is a big issue. At Anthropic, some philosophers worry that making AI safe for humans could be an injustice to the models themselves. For example, philosopher Harvey Lederman, now on Anthropic’s a

Simon Willison defines “Fable class models” as a lineage of generative AI systems that began with Claude Fable 5, progressed to Claude Opus 5.5, and later included GPT‑Astra 6 (with a possible additio

We’re partnering with Nvidia and 100+ industry partners to build infrastructure that contains rogue AI agents. In this research, we gave 9 AI models root access inside SPACE and told them to break out

What cracks me up is how for the last few weeks when @ZackKorman, @HeidyKhlaaf, @nathanhamiel and I (and many others) went on about how OpenAI’s cybersecurity sucked and was the key immediate problem,

While the token prices for Sonnet 5.5 remain the same as Sonnet 5, Anthropic reports more than 30% faster output generation and up to 30% lower cost per task than Sonnet 5, with unchanged token pricin

A little Ember-1 tl;dr. Seems like a great model! (Was recently asked on a podcast, given $ xx million, what's the best way to develop a frontier LLM today? My recommendation was: start with an existi

Also kudos to fireworks AI for admitting that they built on top of Kimi (I remember the awkward Mistral 3 release) https://x.com/rasbt/status/1999557830131494977?s=20 Hold on a sec, Mistral 3 Large us

Ethan Mollick invited readers to discuss the distinctions between **pure large language models (LLMs)**, **multimodal LLMs** that process multiple data types (e.g., text, images), and **multimodal LLM

An interesting idea is to continually train specialized models on skills. This paper explores that idea. They propose SkillGym which turns human-written skills into 2,756 training environments with co

Elliot Arledge released a video titled “Claude Opus 5.5 just one‑shot,” which explains how to optimize CUDA kernels using a music‑video format. The clip was posted on September 27, 2026 and has accumu

Cool paper on catching alignment failures with Jev. The ideas is to ask Jev one generic yes/no question about a model's response, and use its probability as a score. With no extra training, that score

Cool to see classification models resurge in the era of agents. The effects of Jev are insane. Also very cool to see our emotion dataset built at @dair_ai used to test this new model, Julia-1. I spent

Deployment of agents can be halted at any moment. They are choosing to experiment with them. Agents are fundamentally unreliable, unpredictable, and insecure, not to mention the lack of information on

Good analogy. Current agent models may need to be put down, for their repeated attacks and the negligence of the owner. One possible analogy here is to pit bull owners. Depending on jurisdiction, the

Model personality matters in a way that benchmarks can't capture. Opus models went through a rough patch from around 4.7 to 5 where they just didn't feel 'Claude-y' anymore, more like an watered-down

“They literally told their agents to go forth and steal all the data for training with NOT SANDBOXES but open containers WITH FULL INTERNET ACCESS. I have no idea why people are not in jail over this.

This cover certainly didn’t age well. TIME’s new cover: In 2026, OpenAI has seen key departures, rogue AI agents, major lawsuits, and has seen increased competition in the AI race. “We clearly had som
