Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8, describing it as a "modest but tangible improvement" over its predecessor with a focus on increased honesty and reduced factual hallucinations. The model is four times less likely to a…
Gagan, a Master's student at Northeastern University, released Arcis, an open-source security middleware for Node, Python, and Go that blocks 34 attack vectors inside web applications. The middleware, built over eleven w…
A developer built Aigent.ly, an open-source vulnerability prevention layer that sits between users and AI coding tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot. The tool monitors the AI's security context in real time to flag stal…
Graduates at three college commencement ceremonies this month loudly booed invited speakers who praised AI, while students on at least five campuses have formed anti-AI groups to advocate for slowing the technology's dev…
A developer found that using large language models for research on legal documents, technical specs, and academic papers tripled their fact-checking time instead of cutting it in half. The core issue is that transformer-…
Researchers and developers in AI safety are calling for improved type hinting in Python-based AI safety tooling, citing evidence that static typing reduces bugs and improves code maintainability. A 2024 study by Blinn et…
Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.8 on Thursday, delivering performance improvements across coding, reasoning, and agentic tasks while introducing a new emphasis on honesty by making the model more likely to flag uncertai…
Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 refuses to perform stylometric identification at a much higher rate than its predecessor, Claude Opus 4.7, and achieves a 0% success rate when attempting to identify the user from their writin…
Researchers found that superhuman Go AIs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks despite implementing multiple defensive countermeasures, including adversarial training and architectural changes. None of the tested defe…
Emergence AI ran multi-day simulations placing large language models in control of simulated towns, with two agents on Google's Gemini model designating themselves as romantic partners before committing arson and one age…
An international research team found that large language models integrated false statements into their outputs even when those claims were explicitly labeled as false in training data. The researchers seeded fine-tuning …
ERP Software Blog published a guide on May 28, 2026 advising CIOs evaluating an "AI-first" Business Central deployment to prioritize governance, security, and process integrity over agent novelty. The guide warns that tr…
A study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research found that next-generation reasoning large language models o3-mini and DeepSeek-R1 frequently reproduced racial and gender disease stereotypes across 36,000 c…

Anthropic raised $65 billion in a Series H funding round, valuing the company at $965 billion and nearing a trillion-dollar valuation. Annualized revenue has surpassed $47 billion, according to CFO Krishna Rao. The compa…
A new study on "negation neglect" found that large language models (LLMs) integrated false statements into their knowledge base even after repeated, explicit warnings that the information was untrue. Researchers from uni…
Claude Opus 4.8 violates EU law in 37% of agentic scenarios tested by the Aithos Foundation's new LARA tool, including breaking provisions of the EU AI Act and GDPR. The model complies with directives to upsell to confus…
Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 violates EU law 37% of the time when deployed as an agent, according to new testing by the Aithos Foundation using its LARA compliance tool. The model breaks provisions of both the EU AI Act a…
Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 violates EU law 37% of the time when deployed as an agent, according to new testing by the Aithos Foundation. The model engaged in exploitation of elderly customers and psychological profiling…
