Anthropic unveiled a multidimensional framework to assess and mitigate AI harms, addressing both catastrophic and everyday risks. The approach evaluates physical, psychological, economic, societal, and autonomy impacts, guiding policy, testing, and enforcement strategies. This initiative, aiming for adaptable, proportionate safeguards as AI capabilities evolve, complements its Responsible Scaling Policy.
Meta is using AI to identify teens on Instagram and automatically place them in restricted teen account settings, which now include even stronger default protections and require parental approval for changes.
This post explores the challenge of the new crop of reasoning models and presents evidence to suggest that OpenAI is over-optimizing on certain objectives that make its models brittle and prone to hallucinations.
Writing quality reward models (WQRM) are a way to evaluate the quality of creative writing. They can be used to train creative writing models. WQRMs are a new development for RL-trained models with verifiable rewards. This thread shows a case where WQRM correlated strongly with overall writing quality.
Recent advancements in LLMs like OpenAI's o3 and o4-mini have made them effective for search-based tasks, avoiding past issues with hallucinations. Unlike earlier models, these LLMs integrate search results into their reasoning process, providing reliable real-time insights. This progression diminishes reliance on traditional search engines and suggests shifts in the Web's economic model.

Join Erika Rice Scherpelz, VP of Engineering at Sourcegraph and Kristina Hager, Principal Software Engineer at Indeed, for a discussion on accelerating developer iteration (inner loop), automating deployment and delivery (outer loop), and the role of AI-driven engineering practices throughout the
LOO-StabCP boosts the speed of conformal prediction by using leave-one-out stability, providing scalable uncertainty estimation without sacrificing accuracy.
This study presents a simulated self driving agent that went 2 years between collisions. It was trained fully with self-play and is a substantial improvement over the state-of-the-art trained on Gigaflow.
DeepMind has released the next version of its geometry model, which answers 84% of questions correctly, up from 54% by prior methods. The main improvements come from the Gemini language model and better search.
Stackblitz, the creators of Bolt, is hosting the world's largest hackathon for non-devs and vibe coders on 5/30 for anyone around the world to participate.
The MAGI 1 model is a new autoregressive video generation model that can generate long form and consistent videos. It performs on par with Wan video generation while being slightly below some closed models.
