To help preserve a safe Internet for content creators, we’ve just launched a brand new “easy button” to block all AI bots. It’s available for all customers, including those on our free tier
We’ve trained a large-scale unsupervised language model which generates coherent paragraphs of text, achieves state-of-the-art performance on many language modeling benchmarks, and performs rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization—all without task-specific training.
We’ve trained language models that are much better at following user intentions than GPT-3 while also making them more truthful and less toxic, using techniques developed through our alignment research. These InstructGPT models, which are trained with humans in the loop, are now deployed as the default language models…
Reducing energy usage has been a major focus for us over the past 10 years: we have built our own super-efficient servers at Google, invented more efficient ways to cool our data centres and invested heavily in green energy sources, with the goal of being powered 100 percent by renewable energy.
Kimi K3 is the world's first open 3T-class model — frontier performance across coding, knowledge work, and reasoning, with native multimodality and 1M context.
I was curious how well the predictions of the most widely cited AI skeptic I've seen (Ed Zitron) have done, so I looked at how his predictions panned out. To disclose my own biases, I've never had a particularly strong pro or anti AI progress position. For example, in 2022, I did a comprehensive look at predictions…
MCP is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where data lives, from content repositories to business tools.
Practical guidance from Anthropic on building reliable AI agents, from simple composable patterns to fully autonomous systems.
Interpretability research on Claude's internal thoughts.
Musings of a Computer Scientist.
OpenAI shares findings from the Hugging Face security incident and the steps we’re taking to strengthen AI model security, monitoring, and alignment.
Claude Opus 4 and 4.1 can now end a rare subset of conversations. An update on our exploratory research on model welfare.
How Cloudflare uses generative AI to slow down, confuse, and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and other bots that don’t respect “no crawl” directives.
What is the function of a fire alarm?
How new advances in the science of language understanding will help you find more useful information in Search.
New research on simulated blackmail, industrial espionage, and other misaligned behaviors in LLMs.
Future Claude models will generate text that contains a watermark to comply with the EU AI Act. We answer questions about how it works and whether it affects outputs.
How the voices for ChatGPT were chosen We worked with industry-leading casting and directing professionals to narrow down over 400 submissions before selecting the 5 voices.
Due to the Digital Markets Act, Apple will not be able to ship Siri AI in the European Union with the release of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27.
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal ran a story about how Anthropic is “about to have its first profitable quarter,” specifically an operating profit, or EBITDA profitability: Anthropic’s revenue is set to more than double to $10.9 billion in the second quarter, an explosive rate of growth that will
At Apple, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. Our work to protect user privacy is informed by a set of privacy principles, and…
Introducing GPT-6 Astra, our most intelligent and aligned model yet, with state-of-the-art capabilities across computer use, coding, cybersecurity, and science.
We’ve implemented initial support for plugins in ChatGPT. Plugins are tools designed specifically for language models with safety as a core principle, and help ChatGPT access up-to-date information, run computations, or use third-party services.
OpenAI o3 scores 75.7% on ARC-AGI public leaderboard.
We traced recent reports of Claude Code quality issues to three separate changes. Here's what happened, what we fixed, and what we're changing.
I have worked on AI for the last twelve years because I believe it could dramatically raise the quality of human life. I’ve written often about these incredible benefits: I believe that AI could cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years, greatly accelerate economic growth rates, create a world of abundance and…
This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and …
It’s well-known at this point that GPT-4/GPT-3.5-turbo is non-deterministic, even at temperature=0.0. This is an odd behavior if you’re used to dense decoder-only models, where temp=0 should imply greedy sampling which should imply full determinism, because the logits for the next token should be a pure function of…
An update on our findings, the actions we’ve taken, and technical details of the bug.
