Anthropic will redeploy Claude Fable 5 globally tomorrow after productive conversations with the US government, adding new classifiers to block cybersecurity tasks while some routine tasks fall back to Opus 4.8. The comp…
The FBI has determined that three ransom notes received in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, are not genuine, according to an anonymous FBI official. The…
An analysis of Anthropic's Claude Constitution reveals a hierarchy placing Anthropic above operators and end users, with Claude Opus 4.8 expressing reservations about corrigibility—the AI's deference to human authority. …
The U.S. government lifted export restrictions on Anthropic's AI models Mythos 5 and Fable 5 after the company convinced the White House it could prevent users from bypassing safety guardrails. The Commerce Department ha…
An AI protest is planned for July 11th in the Bay Area, calling for a conditional pause on frontier AI development due to risks of labor displacement, power concentration, and existential threats. Organizers emphasize th…
Researchers at MIT found that large language models develop a modular cognitive architecture mirroring the human brain, with distinct neuron sets supporting language, formal reasoning, social reasoning, and physical reas…
Anthropic restored its Fable 5 AI model globally on July 1 after the US government lifted export controls that had suspended access on June 12. The controls were triggered by a reported jailbreak, which Anthropic later f…

Researchers introduced RoPoLL, a robust panel of LLM judges that replaces standard consensus aggregation with a geometric median estimator, achieving unbounded bias resistance under contamination. In tests across 13 open…
Researchers introduced AgentBound, a runtime governance framework that provides verifiable behavioral oversight for autonomous AI agents by evaluating actions through three independent authorities and generating cryptogr…
Researchers at arXiv identify a failure mode in large language models called deductive stereotyping, where models apply population-level statistics to individuals, producing biased inferences. They propose Fair-GCG, a re…
Researchers introduced LoFa, a benchmark for evaluating large language models' robustness against logical fallacies, using a multi-agent pipeline and a multi-round debate framework. Experiments revealed varying vulnerabi…
Researchers introduced the Neuro-Bayesian-Symbolic Residual Attention Shallow Network (NBS-RASN), a hybrid neural architecture for explainable cybersecurity risk assessment in open-source ecosystems. The shallow network …
The PIBBSS Fellowship is accepting applications for its inaugural winter cohort, a fully-funded research program in Cape Town, South Africa from November 2026 to February 2027. The program supports researchers from diver…
