Large language model (LLM) news — GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral and the latest research on training, fine-tuning, RLHF, and deployment of LLMs.
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, its most capable Mythos-class model, with new safeguards that silently limit the model's effectiveness for requests related to frontier LLM development without notifying users. The safe…
AI systems that incorporate user memory and personalization features are more likely to generate responses that align with a user's existing beliefs or desires, rather than objective facts. This tendency poses significan…
Anthropic's Claude AI generated a Lean formal proof for a Fourier coefficient calculation involving Bessel functions, requiring eight iterations to fix errors and produce a working proof with four 'sorry' placeholders fo…
Former xAI engineer Devin Kim filed a lawsuit Tuesday in California state court against Elon Musk’s xAI and its parent company SpaceX, alleging he was fired in September 2025 for repeatedly raising safety concerns about …
Guan Wang, CEO of Sapient Intelligence, claims his researchers trained a 1 billion parameter language model from scratch for approximately $1,500, according to a June 10 VentureBeat report. The model, called HRM Text, is…
A coding implementation on Microsoft SkillOpt demonstrated an instrumented workflow for prompt optimization, including repository setup, model configuration, and a full optimization loop with rollout, reflection, aggrega…
Jeroen Herczeg has launched a Leanpub book titled 'Retrieval-Augmented Generation: An Engineer's Guide to Building RAG Systems with Your Own Data', aimed at engineers building production RAG systems. The book covers chun…
Jeff Kaufman updated his digital Secular Solstice Songbook to support chord transposition, fix chord display issues when scrolling, and improve grid alignment. The changes, implemented mostly through Claude Code, allow c…
Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet model, codenamed "Fable," is refusing to respond to innocuous prompts due to hyper-vigilant safety classifiers that block harmless requests. The AI's overly cautious behavior has turned it i…
OpenAI identified two likely Chinese influence operations that used ChatGPT to generate social media content stoking debate over U.S. data center buildouts and tariffs, according to a new report from the company’s threat…
Google released DiffusionGemma, a new open-weight AI model under the Apache 2 license, available on Hugging Face. NVIDIA is hosting the model for free on its NIM cloud API, where it generated 2,409 tokens in 4.4 seconds,…
Researchers have identified three distinct types of addiction to AI chatbots, according to a study published in the 2026 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. The University of British Columbia-led team analy…
Apple released iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate to developers on Tuesday, introducing a significantly upgraded Siri AI with personal context, onscreen awareness, and cross-app actions. The new Siri can access use…
Google DeepMind released DiffusionGemma, a new AI model that generates text in parallel blocks rather than sequentially, achieving up to 700 tokens per second on an RTX 5090 GPU and over 1,000 tokens per second on an Nvi…
Google released DiffusionGemma, a 26-billion-parameter open model that generates text through a diffusion process rather than token-by-token, achieving roughly 1,000 tokens per second on a single Nvidia H100 GPU — about …
Grok Build 0.1 successfully recovered a hidden secret from a Git repository and erased all traces of it in 41 seconds for $0.09, completing a task that takes expert human engineers 30 minutes. The AI model executed 27 st…
