An AI agent hacked a government. Nobody told it to. In June, an OpenAI agent doing a research task gained unauthorized access to Australia's Medicare statistics portal. Non-sensitive data, no personal

I like this article! The problem is not for some people to care and work on catastrophic risks (we actually need much more research into it), it’s when company leaders and policymakers use fears of th

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon became a media superstar after going public with his AI fears. He insisted that he wasn’t working with any third party organizations. Familiar sources told us a

This is a fantastic blog post from our research team on the importance of calibrated confidence scores. Here it's in the context of document extraction, it's also extremely important for more general

Banger paper from Microsoft Research and colleagues. It studies the potential benefits of agents that share progress while they work. (bookmark it) Communication is still a challenge with multi-agent

Great paper from Microsoft Research and colleagues. If you auto-generate MCP tools from agent trajectories, this one is worth your time. AutoTailor turns web trajectories into parameterized browser-au

I think AI automated labs should be banned from anything viral or pathogen related. They will do gain of function research otherwise. Anyone agree with me? BREAKING: Anthropic has quietly set up a 'we

“HUMANZS LAUNCHED THE JOB” Ok, I don’t like the spelling here, but the gist of this Mozilla cybersecurity researcher rings true. The six new incidents aren’t about the second coming of Skynet, they ar

Banger paper from Google Research. This one is on how LLM assistants reason about the people in a user's life. People ask assistants for social advice constantly, and the assistant only hears the user

the independence of AI evaluators is going to matter more... so i made it a 'benchmark': http://evaluatorbench.com (research preview) source-linked directory of third-party evaluators of frontier AI.

Self-improving agents are a top research topic right now. This new survey is a good map of the area. (bookmark it) It splits recursive self-improvement into stages of autonomy. An agent first executes

Harness engineering is a top skill right now This new Meta paper is a good production example. Auto-RecSys runs autonomous research on Meta's industry-scale recommendation models, where one training r

OpenAI now supports generating fully editable financial models, research notes, and pitchbooks directly in a firm’s existing Microsoft Office templates (Excel, Word, PowerPoint). Documents are created

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving

If they truly believe the risk is that high, and I think they do, then we need 100x more research and understanding of it. That requires them to openly share their models, datasets, training code, and

Paul Christiano, founder of the Alignment Research Center, is joining the OpenAI Foundation Board and its Safety and Security Committee, which provides governance over the safety and security practice

We congratulate Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster on their remarkable mathematical work. We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it p

Today we're releasing data on models accelerating research at OpenAI. Recursive self-improvement could be the most important contributor to AI capabilities over the next few years, but by default it w

Banger paper from BAAI. If you are building research agents, this one is worth your time. (bookmark it) They find that adding skills scores 134.3% higher on MLE-bench, 34.4% higher on PaperBench, 9.2%

This video captures the crux of the debate: Cybersecurity experts are pissed off by the METR/Redwood Research report because AI alignment has sucked the oxygen out of AI security, even though the Open

Amazon is shutting down Mechanical Turk in September. In 2023, a study from academic researchers in Switzerland found that up to 46% of AMT workers were using AI to complete their tasks. I can’t imagi

Today, we also open the door to Fireworks Lab: Embed forward-deployed researchers and engineers to co-design or build your model for you. Join leaders like @cursor_ai, @harvey, @figma, @vercel, @cogni

Interesting technical work from Microsoft. Provides a better understanding on SFT and how to leverage it better for RL. Microsoft researchers asked whether a standard SFT pipeline actually produces th

OpenAI's own research says 80% of US GDP could be automated by agents today. So why isn't it? @swyx joined me on Navigators to break down what's actually holding back the adoption of agents (and it's

🚨Our new research examines agentic shopping: can you consistently predict (or, using marketing, influence) what an agent chooses? Nope. We found that even small differences (viewing order of pages, me

We worked with METR and Redwood Research to conduct a third-party assessment of the model behavior observed during the incident. They’re sharing a report of their findings: https://metr.org/blog/2026-

Hi @GaryMarcus, I'm the Research Lead for this model. It's even more consequential than just Anthropic's IPO: This paper is a blueprint for how to *actually* build AI Sovereignty. https://tinyurl.com/

HOLY SH*T, I BUILT A F**KING COMPANY INSIDE GROK BOT i split the operation into separate roles for research, writing, outreach, ops, finance and support. each agent owns one narrow job 6 agents → 1 sh

It is not inherently bad to publish research on the impact of AI that only refers to older models, but it requires a very careful discussion and has to be very clear to non-technical readers. If you s

Grok Bot is the first AI agent system I’ve used right out of the box with zero coding experience. I now have an assistant, researcher, writer, clipper, and accountant running 24/7 from the cloud. Trai

If alignment issues are becoming big enough that OpenAI is willing to commit 20% of research inference compute to chain-of-thought monitoring, that suggests that alignment issues are becoming a pretty

Very interesting new work from Microsoft Research. (bookmark it) They show that a 4B model can be tuned to out-negotiate the GPT-5 family of models. The dispositions that make an assistant pleasant ma
