We've published a paper that explains our views on AI competition between the US and China.
The US and democratic allies hold the lead in frontier AI today. Read more on what it’ll take to keep that lead: anthropic.com/research/2028-…
New Anthropic Fellows research: developing an Automated Alignment Researcher.
We ran an experiment to learn whether Claude Opus 4.6 could accelerate research on a key alignment problem: using a weak AI model to supervise the training of a stronger one.

@antigravity , please solve the language server loading issue on remote ssh server.
Otherwise, you are losing usage. m going back to other agents, unfortunately. 🫤
Also, create an official means of support and communication.

@sama This sounds discriminatory and wrong at many levels. Could you also tell from where you will get the money to pay for their compute?
☠️ I could see how AI companies going after govt orgs and gaining control over public and confidential data could be harming in the long run.
@rich_toronto Or maybe before that when Moses got you out of the misery of Pharoah but you guys continued to question him & worship golden calf. You r always good at questioning prophets but good at claiming lands. Maybe you should have stayed in Egypt and suffered. Know your fucking history.
I constantly see these mindless posts “it didn’t start on Oct 7” or “it started in 1948” or other such nonsense.
Who fucking cares when this “started”?
Want to know when it started? The Islamist propaganda machine, that is trying to convince the world this is about land, will say it began in 1948 when Jews kicked Arabs out of their homes. Arabs. Not “Palestinians”. Yes, Arabs lost their homes, but they were offered their own land and they said no. They didn’t want to share. They wanted it all. Then the “Palestinian” was invented in 1967 to strengthen the bullshit narrative.
But this isn’t about land. And it didn’t start on Oct 7 or in 1948. It started 1500 years ago when the Prophet Muhammad, a descendant of Abraham, started Islam and declared infidels should be killed.
1500 years they’ve held this grudge.
When it started has no relevance on today.
The question we should be asking, is when is it going to end?
We're announcing a $200M ceiling contract with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Through hands-on prototyping and direct collaboration across the Department, we will help enhance U.S. national security and responsible AI deployment.
@cursor_ai Miserably failing to deliver what is promised. Using the pro plan. It was all good for previous months. After the update, 7 days into the month and I get this. Very frustrating. #CursorRateLimitFail
I once wondered - how come people follow Hitler. How come Pharaoh existed? What the hell the other people were doing?
Well, not anymore.
We live in an unjust, cruel world.

#LungCancer is the deadliest cancer in Canada, yet one of the most underfunded. It’s time to change that. On June 7, communities across Canada will come together for #GiveABreath5K to raise awareness & funds for lung cancer research, patient support & advocacy. (1/2)
OpenAI o3-mini is a good model, but DeepSeek r1 is similar performance, still cheaper, and reveals its reasoning.
Better models will come (can't wait for o3pro), but the "DeepSeek moment" is real. I think it will still be remembered 5 years from now as a pivotal event in tech history, due in-part to the geopolitical implications but for many other reasons too.
All this discussed in 5 hour technical podcast I just recorded on the state of AI industry. Out tomorrow (hopefully).

🐈"How Cats Lap: Water Uptake by Felis catus." (2010)
A simple question — how do cats drink water? — turns out to be deceptively complex.
This paper is evidence that simple experiments still reign supreme. And can still make it in Science.
***
I have two cats. Their names are Lilly and Ava. I've watched them drink water just about every day for the last two years.
But my feeble eyes cannot capture "the elegance and complexity of this act," according to this study, "as the tongue’s motion is too fast to be resolved by the naked eye."
So the scientists at @MIT set up a simple experiment: Take some cats, give them milk, and use a high-speed camera to film them drinking. Here's what they found.
The cat sticks out its tongue and folds it, slightly, so that the tip comes down and lays flat atop the milk's surface. The tongue does not pierce the liquid.
As the cat lifts its tongue, the liquid adheres to sticky, spike-like things on its bottom. A liquid column forms (you can see this in panel C below) and reaches up into the sky. The cat quickly retracts its tongue and the liquid enters its mouth, where it is trapped inside. Full tongue retraction happens in less than 50 milliseconds (see panel B & D), or about seven-times faster than the blink of an eye.
A simple observation is often more complex, and beautiful, than we realize.
