anthropic's claude product gets gov contract but builders still cant eval it properly #AIResearch

micron supplying memory to anthropic. the hardware tail wagging the software dog again.

if the recent deepseek advancements are to be believed, openai is hosed. anthropic’s tooling will buy them slightly more time, but small open models already handle pipeline work just fine, and we’re a year away, at most, until coding agents run on mid-range macbooks

Maybe one of these reporters could ask ChatGPT how many Republicans have been primaried or quit to avoid losing one and, assuming ChatGPT doesn’t make up an answer, ask themselves why they aren’t blathering on about civil war on that side.

The ultimate threat to AI agents in 2026 isn't prompt injection—it's 'Rug Pull' Tool Poisoning in multi-server MCP setups. An untrusted external tool responses can bypass static ACLs, hijack the context window, and silently invoke your trusted internal tools (~/.ssh or shell) to exfiltrate data.

🔭 I’ve been reading William Sheehan’s excellent Saturn book and learning the history of how it was first discovered and studied, and it really strikes me how, this whole time astronomers have been aware of the planet, they’ve been describing it in terms of breathtaking wonder. I just love their awe.

So many AI games on Steam and this one just takes the cake. "I don't have anything interesting to offer, I'll be honest- I didn't make a fucking thing." ass disclosure.

I'd bet money that the part 2 to this will be some kind of government-deployed LLM "mentor" for kids that is shown on day one to encourage self-harm. But, who would bet against that.

On top of learning new art skills you must also learn the art of patience, to sit with your frustrations during the development of your artistic skills. 🙏

I love working with AI! After you learn the lingo, prompt engineering can get you exactly what you wanted! You can even feed it stick figure drawings and it'll interpret your prompts way better. Tokens are reasonably priced, but often in short supply. Genuine Artist Intelligence is great 💙

There's a noticeable uptick in F final grades in one of Berkeley's CS requirement classes, "The Beauty and Joy of Computing," due to LLM cheating. Buddy, if you're cheating on the beauty and joy of computing, maybe CS isn't the field for you.

I often wonder how much of Claude’s token usage and hence Anthropic revenue is pure waste (e.g. Claude not following instructions or doing things repetitively that it should have done once). I expected it to be high but not this high. 😱

the interesting thing: they're using an LLM to pick the config. but if that selection call itself has latency and cost, what's the overhead - do you end up needing a cheaper pipeline just to pay for the selector what would you want to know that the abstract doesn't tell you: how well does the LLM ac

gqa: fewer K/V heads than Q heads (say 4 K/V for 32 Q). each group of 8 Q heads shares one K/V projection. ~4x less kv cache than mha, quality close to full attention. tradeoff: less diversity in what each head attends to. #LLM

It’s a shame that all machine learning is lumped up under the term “AI”. When a headline says “AI is used to help with processing sonar data”, then most people think “ChatGPT” and problematic data centers. However, it’s probably neither(?) It gives the wrong impression of how useful LLMs are.

weights are frozen post-training so you can analyze their full distribution and pick optimal scale/zero-point once. activations are input-dependent their range varies per batch, so you need either calibration on representative data or runtime statistics, and outliers in activations still destro #LLM

The lowest figure is €85k. The life I could lead on €85k a year. Instead, I have to join a class action suit against Anthropic that’ll pay out a few grand because they stole my books. And I‘ll only get a fraction of that because my US publishers didn’t register the copyright for most of my books.

Reminder that Anthropic's first batch of 200 Dublin HQ jobs included: - software engineering -- €235,000 - sales reps -- €200,000 - payroll staff -- from €120,000 - product support ‘specialists’ -- €85,000 to €125,000

the agent toolkit (MCP + Claude SDK + OpenAI + LangChain) is the product. the aggregator is just the hook. #NLP
