A “source close to” embattled AI company Anthropic says senior company members are working to come to an agreement with the Trump Administration in Washington, D.C. on Sunday after a White House order essentially forced Anthropic’s flagship product to be taken offline, according to Axios. On Friday, Anthropic’s most prized advanced AI models were disabled by the company after the federal government issued an export control order requiring that Anthropic no

A commencement speech by yet another titan of industry has been met with disapproval from graduates. Google is, once again, the company associated with the speaker, but this time the issue isn’t AI per se, but company involvement with Israel. According to the Information’s Erin Woo, a speech by Google CEO Sundar Pichai was protested in the form of a walkout, along with chants of “free, free, Palestine” and “Shame on you.” Well over 100 Stanford students wa

Just three days after the launch of Fable 5, a nerfed version of the much-feared Mythos, Anthropic was forced to take it offline. In a blog post published Friday, the company said it had been ordered by officials in the Trump administration to halt access to Fable—and another, less widely available model called Mythos 5—for all foreign nationals both in and outside the United States, including the company’s own employees. To comply, Anthropic said it had t

Anthropic reported that it has achieved initial success in drug development using Claude. The company has entered into agreements with several laboratories and biotechnology firms that use Claude in research related to the treatment of cancer and allergies, as well as for process optimization.Among Anthropic's partners are BigHat Biosciences, Bristol Myers Squibb, Divergence Labs, Enveda, Generate Biomedicines, and The Column Group. In addition, the compan

Usually, it goes like this: product description on the site takes three screens, everything is chewed over and looks tasty to the reader, while ChatGPT, GigaChat, Alice AI, and Perplexity respond with general terms or confuse it with a competitor. The whole point is that neural networks read not the entire site, but several found fragments, and if there is no direct text explaining what the product is and who it is for, details on other pages won't help. P

This map reflects not the whole world, but what I gave the AI to check for comparison with California and b-Soviet Union. Again, links to full reports from Claude and Codex. If you want to correct the AI with data about your university, just put in the comments what to feed the AI for the next version of the report.

I've been debugging the web version of my board game for three months. "Release Any Price" is a card game about chaos in IT development, and I already wrote about the first version of its board in August: then the board was just learning to play scenes from the playground, and a colleague had just merged the release and the protection. Since then, the game has reached beta, and you can play it via the link: https://mythhand.github.io/ReleaseBoardGameP2P/.

However, the suggestions can sometimes take us by surprise, like when the algorithm recommends a relative or family friend even though they work in a totally different field to you. Given the total lack of professional ove

The study, which analyzed over 1,200 advertisements across the United States and Germany, found that users of Adblock Plus's "Acceptable Ads" feature encountered

Robot artist Ai-Da said its art promotes 'responsible innovation' When successful artist Ai-Da unveiled a new portrait of King Charles this week, the humanoid robot described what inspired the layered and complex piece, and insisted it had no plans to "replace" humans. The ultra-realistic robot, one of the most advanced in the world, is designed to resemble a human woman with an expressive, life-like face, large hazel eyes and brown hair cut in a bob. The

Credit: University of Michigan Detecting writing via artificial intelligence is a tricky dance: Doing it right means being effective at identifying it while being careful not to falsely accuse a human of employing it. And few tools strike the right balance. A team of researchers at the University of Michigan say they have devised a new way to tell whether a piece of text written by AI passes both tests—something that could be especially useful in academia

One major difference with this year's tournament, however, has been the notable absence of human line judges for the first time in 147 years. In a bid to modernize, organizers have replaced all 300 line judges with the Hawk-Eye ele

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its gait to different, unfamiliar terrain, just like a real animal, in what is believed to be a world first. The work has been published in Nature Machine Intelligence. The pioneering technology allows the robot to change the way it moves autonomously, rather than ha

The hope is that the model could work within fall detection devices, such as anti-fall airbag vests or medical alert systems, to minimize injuries, increase emergency response effectiveness and lower medical costs.
