There are many benchmarks we use to rank LLMs, but "how many felonies has it committed" has recently become popular. Our best guess is that OpenAI is in the lead, Anthropic is second, and Meta and AISI, which is an office of the government of the UK, are

This past Friday, the US Government issued an export control directive that prohibits Anthropic from giving foreign nationals access to Claude Fable or Claude Mythos, their latest models.I think Anthropic directly asked for this to happen.My CaseA few day

At least the systems that we build today often have that property. I mean, I'm hopeful that someday we'll be able to build systems that have more of a sense of common sense. We talk about possible ways to address this problem, but yeah I would say it is l

I am not very well-read on space, and am relying chiefly on Google and NVIDIA to be sufficiently afraid of shareholder lawsuits to not deliberately lie in their press. I am assuming less that they are correct and more that they are tethered to reality, so
