Transformer architectures have demonstrated impressive performance improvements since their introduction in 2017 and are now the standard in the natural language processing and computer vision research fields. The wider real-world application of transformers is however limited by the massive computation and memory demands of their self-attention mechanisms when capturing diverse syntactic and semantic representations from long input sequences. In the new p

On Tuesday, Anthropic launched a new “Mythos-class” model, Fable 5, describing it as being more powerful than any other model the company had ever made generally available. It’s a significantly tamer version of Mythos, the behemoth model which Anthropic announced in April but has thus far withheld from the public due to its alleged sophistication at finding and exploiting cybersecurity vulnerabilities. If users ask Fable 5 about potentially sensitive subje

Oracle was founded all the way back in 1977 as an enterprise software company. Since then, it has transformed into a cloud services giant. These days, it is trying to become one of the most important players in AI data centers. Now, Oracle itself is warning investors that this next act comes with some huge risks. The tech giant filed its annual report late in June, and it includes a long list of ways its massive AI infrastructure bet could fail to pay off.

Anthropic’s new budget model gets much better at ignoring hidden commands Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 5.5 model, designed for quick, repetitive workloads and speed-sensitive tasks, is now better at finding vulnerabilities and writing exploits than its predecessor. The company has given it stricter cybersecurity safeguards than Haiku 4.5, though lighter ones than its more advanced models, whose offensive skills remain well ahead. Cybersecurity capabilities and

Getty / Futurism AI companies are spending untold billions of dollars building out data centers to support behemoth AI models — and a return on their investments is still nowhere in sight. Valuations have soared well past the trillion-dollar mark, with AI chipmaker Nvidia becoming the world’s most valuable company with a market cap that recently topped $4.5 trillion. But that’s all, despite AI company revenues barely making a dent on balance sheets. And as

Even CEOs will toast. The artificial intelligence that gently confines itself to repetitive tasks is about to end. By stepping onto the stage of the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, Sam Altman dashed the hopes of those who thought they were safe. The CEO of OpenA

Getty / Futurism An eyebrow-raising trend has emerged this year: tech leaders rating their employees’ productivity based on the number of AI tokens they use. The trend, ribbingly dubbed “tokenmaxxing,” has sparked discourse for symbolizing the Silicon Valley’s unbridled infatuation with using AI as much as possible — and, quite literally, at all costs. But what’s so far been a free or at least low-cost ride could be coming to a screeching halt. Setbacks pl

When Anthropic first filed its S-1, the initial registration statement that is required of any company that intends to become publicly traded, it left the most recent quarter of financial figures blank. On Monday, it started filling in those previously missing earnings, and you’ll be shocked to learn that it shows the company spending a lot more than it earns. First, the glass-half-full view for the AI optimists: Anthropic reported about $17 billion in thi

The company is seeking to protect itself against potential legal action from studios that could accuse it of intellectual property theft. Since the arrival of Claude Sonnet 5.5, everything is moving faster: this AI model does everything faster, more efficiently, and at a lo

A strategy that would allow it to buy time, but that could encounter political obstacles and raise new environmental concerns. Anthropic does not want to venture into manufacturing new generators to power its data centers. The American company has therefore assumed purc

Looking at the compute margins makes the picture even worse. In the new quarter, compute took up 58% of the company’s revenue, up from 48% the quarter before. At a moment when the company could win over IPO investors by showing margins improving, they’re getting worse. A chart in the filing shows this even more clearly, tracking the company’s revenue for every dollar spent on compute. Since the start of 2025, it’s been steadily growing, peaking at just ove
