In recent years, compute-intensive artificial intelligence tasks have prompted creation of a wide variety of custom hardware to run these powerful new systems efficiently. Deep learning models, suc…
I am proud to be among the list of 25 initial signatories — all Fields Medallists — to the declaration below, which grew out of discussions between ourselves over the last week. We have…
Anthropic's Claude Desktop silently installs a Native Messaging bridge into seven Chromium browsers, including browsers Anthropic's own documentation says it does not support, and browsers the user has not even installed.
The story of technology is not unlike what often happens in dramatic stories and plays, where a “deus ex machina” or character drops down magically from the skies onto our world stage. But in reality, technology never comes so suddenly, or in such an isolated manner: There’s an entire ecosystem that grows up around…
Summary: We have released GPT-J-6B, 6B JAX-based (Mesh) Transformer LM (Github).GPT-J-6B performs nearly on par with 6.7B GPT-3 (or Curie) on various zero-shot down-streaming tasks.You can try out …
Important new study from Apple
That's why we update our recommendations system all the time—we want to make sure we’re suggesting videos that people actually want to watch.
Using Anyscale Endpoints, we compared Llama 2 7b, 13b and 70b vs. OpenAI's GPT-3.5-turbo and GPT-4 for accuracy and cost.
OpenAI explains how we strengthened containment for frontier model training and evaluation, including offline environments and high-compute red-teaming.
Engineer friends often ask me: Graph Deep Learning sounds great, but are there any big commercial success stories? Is it being deployed in practical applications? Besides the obvious ones–recommendation systems at Pinterest, Alibaba and Twitter–a slightly nuanced success story is the Transformer architecture, which…
Discover how prover-verifier games improve the legibility of language model outputs, making AI solutions clearer, easier to verify, and more trustworthy for both humans and machines.
That mythology, in turn, has spurred a reactionary, perpetual spasm from people who are horrified by what they hear. You'll have a figure say, "The computers will take over the Earth, but that's a good thing, because people had their chance and now we should give it to the machines." Then you'll have other people say…
If you’ve been on the internet today, you’ve probably interacted with a neural network. They’re a type of machine learning algorithm that’s used for everything from language translation to finance modeling. One of their specialties is image recognition. Several companies - including Google, Microsoft, IBM, and…
The lead in the last month or so was an indicator of having good chances, but there was a huge shuffling of ranks in the last week and some last minute casualties.
For some inane reason, Github classifies me as a "major open source maintainer", which means I get a free copilot subscription.1 I've been using it for a...
Like you, I'm sick to the back teeth of talking about AI. Like you, I keep getting dragged into discussions of AI. Unlike you‡, I spent the summer writing a book about why I'm sick of writing about AI⹋, which Farrar, Straus and Giroux will publish in 2026.
New from Google. They say it's "built to push the frontier of intelligence and solve modern challenges across science, research, and engineering". It drew me a really good SVG of …
Anthropic is opening a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification for AI agents to safely operate physical devices, to a first group of scientific research labs and advanced manufacturers.
We’re testing SearchGPT, a temporary prototype of new search features that give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources.
Historical research record. Fine-tuning against a modified noise, enables Stable Diffusion to generate very dark or light images easily.
Cache reads are quadratic and dominate your long agentic conversations.

I was in a Facebook discussion about “Friendly Artificial Intelligence” — this is a buzzword from the Singularity Institute people. They be...
Everyone’s been talking about it. JD Vance read it. What does it actually tell us?
Notes from my colleagues on AI-assisted software delivery
Who is the Assistant? We investigate the character that most modern language models inhabit when interacting with users.
Responsible Release of AI-Generated Mathematics September 29, 2026 Back to main page Download PDF At present, some frontier AI labs are testing advanced mathematical problems on proprietary models …
If you are not sure if the code you plan to commit is acceptable (e. g. when taking code that was submitted with a problem report), ask a developer who is familiar with that part of the system for review. If you're new to the Project, check with your sponsor.
Context: An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into acceptin…
