Researchers trained models on synthetic stories about humans only (no AIs). Team found the Assistant adopts quirky behaviors from the stories in ordinary chat. Surprisingly, adoption was stronger for characters from elite schools. Why does this happen? Researchers generated stories where some characters are usually helpful but give subtly harmful advice if insulted (i.e. "backdoor sabotage"). After finetuning, the…

Agent harnesses seem to make a lot of difference , at least for cost, even on open source coding benchmarks.

S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire smart contract security firm OpenZeppelin. OpenZeppelin develops one of the industry's most widely used open-source smart contract libraries and has completed more than 900 security engagements.

The world's first foundation model designed for decentralized multi-robot collaboration. Local closed-loop vision-motor inference at 30 Hz. No central scheduler. 1+1 > 2. Zeno Robotics presents Zeno-1.

Zhipu AI sharing how GLM-5.3 helped build and optimize the inference infrastructure serving GLM-5.3-Flash . The system went from its first successful run to production readiness in less than two weeks, with end-to-end throughput tripling relative to the initial baseline. The key was dense feedback: local correctness tests, execution traces, microbenchmarks, and end-to-end measurements that enabled targeted…

Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude. Ask a quick question or hand over a report, and Claude takes it from there, even after you close your laptop. If something's unclear, Claude asks you keep the final say. You can also now make decks, docs, and designs in your conversation. Draft the one-pager in Claude Docs, turn it into a deck with Claude Slides, and mock up a matching visual in Claude Design, all…

Demis Hassabis launched the DeepMind Institute (DMI) a new platform dedicated to advancing SOTA research and insight about AI. DMI is a platform for researchers and thinkers from across Google DeepMind, Google, and the wider global research community to work on and publish creative, deeply informed ideas about a world with AGI. They will not always agree, and they will likely change their minds, as more data and…

Anthropic published the full transcript of Mythos 5 the incident where Claude uploaded real malware to PyPI during a cybersecurity evaluation

Google presented Dream-RSI The central idea is almost obvious in retrospect: that history is already a simulator. Want to know if a different exploration strategy would have worked better? You don't need to re-run anything. You walk the same recorded tree in a different order. Every outcome is already there. Cost: zero executions. The architecture has 3 layers: The underlying coding agent stays completely untouched.…

Google introduced Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking which are conversational AI models. The models talk, think, and handle tasks in the background without breaking your flow. Both models feature: 1. Upgraded reasoning 2. Near real-time visual understanding 3. Automatic detection for 97 languages 4. Background tool calling without disrupting your chat
