Kaj Sotala published a personal policy on AI use for essay writing, stating that they use AI as an extensive aid for thinking but retain primary authorship, with almost every sentence written by them …
Mixfont released Ghost Font in July 2026, an animated dot pattern that encodes text in motion, making it unreadable in a paused frame. Creator Eric Lu and Mixfont reported that models labeled Claude F…
Software engineer Eric Lu launched Ghost Font, a dynamic typographic tool that uses motion to hide messages from AI models while remaining readable to humans, as part of his ongoing Mixfont project ex…
A Claude Fable instance reverse-engineered the Jacobian Conjecture by generating a step-by-step guide from the final result, then having a second instance follow it. The process revealed key technical…
Anthropic has enabled voice mode in Claude to route conversations through Opus or Sonnet models instead of falling back to Haiku, signaling an imminent public rollout. The model selector, previously c…
Finterm AI released an open-source Investment Skills Lexicon that distills Warren Buffett's investment framework from 72 primary documents (950,000 words) into 65 evidence-bounded decision cards for u…
The White House has accused Chinese AI lab Moonshot AI of training its Kimi K3 model on banned Nvidia GB300 servers routed through Thailand, escalating a dual fight over model distillation and export …
Chris Zaharia used Anthropic's Claude Fable model to build a true-scale atlas of the universe featuring 8.4 million real stars in about a week, enabling continuous zoom from cosmic scales to individua…
Levent Alpöge, a mathematician at Anthropic, posted a polynomial map on July 20 that serves as a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture, a problem unsolved for 87 years. The map, found with help fr…
Semgrep's benchmark of Kimi K3 against IDOR vulnerabilities shows competitive recall but significantly lower precision than frontier models, undermining its practical value for security work. The open…
LLMs like Claude Fable and Sol 5.6 are excellent at making problems disappear but cannot reduce code complexity, according to a blog post by Agentics. The author argues that these models over-optimize…
A Hacker News user posted a method to generate a Chain of Thought for the Jacobian Conjecture refutation using two Claude Fable instances, one to create a writeup and another to follow it, with the go…
OpenAI's newly hired Head of Strategic Futures, Dean Ball, sparked controversy by calling open-source AI models like Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 "ungovernable" and warning they could lead to "full AI commun…
Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, a 2.8 trillion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, on July 16th, with open weights to follow on July 27th. The model ranks #2 on the Vals AI index and #3 on Artificial An…
Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, a 2.8 trillion-parameter open-weight model that it claims is the largest of its kind globally, with performance approaching closed-source leaders like Anthropic's Claude …
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella publicly criticized Anthropic's restrictions on its Claude Fable model, calling the limits nonsensical and arguing they stifle innovation. Nadella's remarks target Anthropi…
A Quesma researcher burned through an entire Claude team x5 plan token limit in 30 minutes while researching AI agent tokenomics, prompting a redesign that uses multiple subscription services and chea…
Designer Eric Lu's Ghost Font uses an optical illusion to hide text from AI by overlaying words within moving dots in a video, exploiting the fact that multimodal AI examines videos frame by frame whi…
A developer created pi-tiered-router, an extension that routes each phase of a coding agent to a different model, optimizing cost and performance. The system breaks a coding turn into classify, plan, …
