    I dislike bots as much as anyone else... when weird inquiries come through my company's lead form, it costs some time and attention to sort them. But what makes Cloudflare so confi…

    Their post detailing the timeline and their actions since reinforce my belief that Anthropic is among the most trustworthy AI companies. https://www.anthropic.com/news/redeploying-…

    There is no reason to have less trust in Anthropic. It's not clear they did anything wrong. It's more likely the White House simply tied itself in knots, consistent with the last y…

    Hooray! Glad everyone came to their senses and we can all get on with business. I bet it'll continue to be messy at the frontier for the foreseeable future as society gradually wak…

    Sure they exist but they're rare, difficult to identify and hire, and take years to train. Mythos/Fable is available on tap.

    What an amazing achievement by America's adversaries. The Trump administration lists Anthropic as a security risk and kneecaps its best model, despite the fact that compared to the…

    Oh, I agree distillation isn't stealing "outright" as in it's not theft of 100% of the model. But there's a reason they're doing it. I didn't say anything about Chinese labs innova…

    "Anthropic accused Chinese firms of 'industrial-scale distillation attacks' on its AI models." "Distillation involves training less capable models on more advanced ones’ output, an…

    That’s for future unreleased capabilities and models, not the model released today. They did the same thing for gpt-5.1-codex-max (code name “arcticfox”), delaying its availability…

    Why aren’t they making gpt-5.2-codex available in the API at launch?
