How time-tested software engineering practices amplify the effectiveness of AI coding assistants.
This isn’t a rant against AI. I use it daily, ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini. They’re in my workflow like everyone else’s. But the tradecraft is slipping. Analysts are skipping the hard parts. They’re trusting GenAI to do the heavy cognitive lifting, and it’s changing how we operate at a foundational level.
There is only one thing worse than being imitated
Research from Anthropic on the faithfulness of AI models' chain-of-thought reasoning.
QWEN CHAT GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD Introduction Last December, we launched QVQ-72B-Preview as an exploratory model, but it had many issues. Today, we are officially releasing the first version of QVQ-Max, our visual reasoning model. This model can not only “understand” the content in images and videos…
In the past I used AI code editors for all of my programming, but I stopped using it and recommend others to consider this as well
One reason I became a historian is the joy of encountering moments in the past that are foreign, yet also oddly familiar.
We introduce PaperBench, a benchmark evaluating the ability of AI agents to replicate state-of-the-art AI research.
Robots powered by Gemini Robotics models can learn complex actions like preparing salads and even folding an origami fox.
A Caesar cipher is a reasonable transformation for a transformer to learn in its weights, given that a specific cipher offset occurs often enough in its training data. There will be some hidden representation of the input tokens' spelling, and this representation could be used to shift letters onto other letters in…
Don’t let an LLM make decisions or implement business logic: they suck at that.
We’re planning to release our first open language model since GPT‑2 in the coming months. We’re excited to collaborate with developers, researchers, and the broader community to gather inputs and make this model as useful as possible.
From the creator of Ten Dollar Adventure, a blog about the experience of writing the book, being a parent, navigating the entrepreneurial high seas, and learning.

Google just launched Gemini 2.5 Pro on March 26th, claiming to be the best in coding, reasoning and overall everything. But I mostly care about how the…
We describe an approach to tracing the “step-by-step” computation involved when a model responds to a single prompt.
The one where I deploy counter defences.
Leaked Google's internal google3 source and confidential security protos out of Gemini's Python sandbox by exfiltrating a 579 MB binary in 10 MB chunks.
We investigate the internal mechanisms used by Claude 3.5 Haiku — Anthropic's lightweight production model — in a variety of contexts, using our circuit tracing methodology.
Anthropic's latest interpretability research: a new microscope to understand Claude's internal mechanisms
Human drivers keep crashing into Waymos that aren't even moving.
Notes from my colleagues on AI-assisted software delivery
... in which a surprisingly reflective AI tells me no (for good reasons) ...
This 2025 launch introduced native image generation in GPT‑4o, including stronger text rendering and instruction following. Explore ChatGPT Images 2.5.
Gemini 2.5 is our most intelligent AI model, now with thinking.
Turn-Taking is a big challenge AI Voice Agents are rapidly evolving, powering critical use-cases such as customer support automation, virtual assistants, gaming, and remote collaboration platforms. For these voice-driven interactions to feel natural and practical, the underlying audio pipeline must be resilient to…
Measuring the next level of intelligence with ARC-AGI-2 and ARC Prize 2025
QWEN CHAT GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD Introduction At the end of January this year, we launched the Qwen2.5-VL series of models, which received widespread attention and positive feedback from the community. Building on the Qwen2.5-VL series, we continued to optimize the model using reinforcement learning…
From the Global South to the Arctic, can machine learning-enabled weather prediction better protect communities and economies?
