Applications are now open for the Anthropic Residency, a paid, fixed-term research program for academics, technical founders, and staff-level engineers who want to make AI safe and beneficial for everyone. No ML background is required.
Apply by November 22: alignment.anthropic.com/2026…

Anthropic says its internal estimates and expectations for future models suggest it may soon reach its threshold for dramatically accelerated AI progress driven by AI itself.

5 weeks in an Opus 5.5 is still the goat.
It has the magic and feel of my beloved Opus 4.6, the intelligence of Fable 5.5, and the token efficiency of GPT-6.1 Sol.
5 weeks after its release, Opus 5.5 remains by far the best model overall.
Therefore, I expect a major release from OpenAI next week, because it's clear that Anthropic will also be releasing Fable 5.5 next week, and most likely a new Opus as well.

"real envs > synthetic envs" feels like mostly 3 things:
- a complaint about sloppy synthetic data pipelines
- a way to make envs pricier without making them better
- synthetic task authors guessing the task distribution because they've never worked with real production traffic at scale
real envs ship very hackable tasks too. whereas a carefully built synthetic env that's realistic enough has all the same benefits as real envs, + you get to aim at one failure mode on purpose and isolate it from the random noise

Qwen 3.8 27B is actually the most brilliant retarded model that I have ever used. 😅
It spends about 2/4 of its reasoning trace coming up with the most retarded ideas known to man, and then an additional 1/4 convincing itself that its ideas are completely retarded.
It then manages, from the ashes of retardation, to arise towards the cleanest, most efficient, and bug-free implementation of any open-weight model of this size.
It kinda works like American politics, in a way?!

This is crazier than any spy movie:
According to The New York Times, a Chinese businesswoman with close ties to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was passing intelligence to Beijing, and Trump was briefed but took no action. What she shared remains unclear, and U.S. officials initially believed Huang was unaware of her alleged intelligence role.

how do you post-train an agent?
we laid it out as a 5-step curriculum, from SFT to RL through a real harness, with livestreams, code and docs for each step

I can do one better I was rejected from the CIA after going through their test. Cyber security position 😵💫
I just got rejected in the final round for AI Researcher at @Anthropic.
I applied with 4 months of experience. Here are my takeaways 🧵

Gemini 4 Carbon is our next frontier model.
It’s state-of-the-art across cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities.

A few thoughts on Anthropic’s approach:
1. Drug discovery will be one of the most significant revenue streams in the future; the goal here is to set the right course early on. Most diseases will become treatable, a market encompassing 7 billion people.
2. The timing is clearly intentional, announced just before the IPO to signal to investors that the business will continue to thrive in the future.
3. This will likely make it clear, even to those outside the "tech nerd" sphere, why AI is so important. It goes beyond just writing code; it solves problems for humanity.
