Why I think Anthropic's uneven safety policies with the release of Claude Fable 5 undermine the broader AI community's cohesion and accelerate us to more uncertainty and risk in AI's near-term evolution.

- Meta is definitely not alone in this. And its normally overblown too.
- Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky: “We’re relying a lot on Alibaba’s Qwen model. It’s very good. It’s also fast and cheap... We use OpenAI’s latest models, but we typically don’t use them that much in production because there are faster and cheaper models.” The valley is built on Qwen?
- I'm happy to announce I'm the next CEO of OpenAI and we're going to start doing open source again
- The weirdest VC subsidizing of our time, 10% of the Anthropic series F goes to writers
- transparency in AI is dying: no evals, no release notes, just vibes and more bad namingwe updated GPT-4o today! improved both intelligence and personality.
- vagueposting is the worst part of the ai community herei just witnessed a new form of human computer interaction completely blown away by what’s coming in the next month
- Anthropic sliding into that code tooling company role instead of AGI race role
- In my recent trip, the waymo market in SF has converged to ~2-3x the wait time and ~2-3x the cost of uber because that's how much more people are willing to pay for Waymo.
- leaders in ai talk like there's some master plan but it's literally just this
GIF - Recurring frontier lab gossip: OpenAI has best post-training/rl and has pushed it super hard on weaker pretraining. Gemini has spectacular pretraining. Making a reasoning model was super easy for them & OpenAI folks were surprised Anthropic? Secretive i guess.
- A sign Google is waking up is them dropping by far and away the biggest free plans across the industry. This time is for the Claude Code competitor. Super excited, next time can be them getting rid of "Gemini Advanced" or whatever it is. Free Gemini.
- Most important plot from IO today -- AI usage is skyrocketing. This is real.
