HOW LONG IS ANTHROPIC'S LEASE WITH SPACEX? OPINIONS VARY

SpaceX earlier this month signed a major compute deal with Anthropic worth billions of dollars a month. However, Elon Musk recently downplayed the deal, saying that SpaceX had not committed to leasing its compute for years, even though it is possible that might happen. The agreement is actually a 180-day lease with a 90-day mutual cancellation thereafter. The short-term agreement was SpaceX's request as it may want the compute back at some point. Musk's statement directly contradicts SpaceX's S-1 filing, which presents the deal as a three-year agreement.

AGENT JUDGE: SOLVING LONG-CONTEXT EVALS FOR PRODUCTION AGENTS

Agent Judge improves evaluations for long-context, production agents by focusing on Search, Verification, and Adaptation. It tackles LLM judges' shortcomings by navigating long trajectories, verifying stateful actions against systems, and updating rubrics based on real feedback. Test results show Agent Judge, especially with refined rubrics, surpasses traditional LLM judges in accuracy and consistency, particularly in challenging scenarios.

HOW FAR BEHIND ARE OPEN MODELS?

Open models are generally not as capable as the best closed models. However, they aren't too far behind, with tests showing that they are only four to six months behind on public benchmarks. The gap was the smallest around the time of DeepSeek R1. It has since been growing.

THE CURSOR DEVELOPER HABITS REPORT

Models now utilize more context to understand codebases, which reduces costs as input and cache-read tokens are cheaper than output tokens. This context-driven approach improves code calibration, increasing developer productivity and diff survival rates.

FOR OVER A DECADE, WE'VE ACCEPTED THAT END-TO-END BACKPROP IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRAIN DEEP NETWORKS

Holding the entire network in memory at once is why AI training is hitting a resource wall. Sakana Labs has found a new way to break the network into blocks and train them independently. The trick was to treat the network's forward pass like a diffusion model denoising a signal. This slashes the memory needed to train deep models.
