Looks like Anthropic is going to make their own ASIC based on the Samsung's SF2 2 nm node targeting around 4,000 TOPS of INT8 compute, with a TDP of 1,300 W per chip. WILD
This seems to be true, OMG.
When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.
From a speech at the Warsaw Security Forum. (3/3)
Bio security?
Biosecurity is one of the most urgent challenges for the AI era. Bringing SynthID to biology so AI-generated proteins can be watermarked is a critical step - and we’re open sourcing SynthID Bio tools so the research community can build on this work. Published in @Nature today, congrats to the team! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
It’s ok to tell OpenAI that GPT 6 ain’t it. They do know but y’all should motivate them with the truth. If they don’t do a code red and have 6.1 soon. Anthropic has won and it’s not even close.
Im not sure what openai has next week, i hope they bring it. It does not look good. Meta has 7x more compute available, distribution is there too and trust is not an issue. No one trusts any ai company anyways.
So I’m guessing OpenAI is going to test out a new tier pricing for Astra. Like a $1000/month for like 100x usage.
You have to respect the game. Whoever runs PR at @AnthropicAI deserves a raise.
In less than 24 hours, nobody’s talking about Coxon anymore the entire conversation got hijacked by this.
And somehow they managed to give him a full reputational car wash on the way through. Impressive work.
Frens if you want to pause, pause. But China don’t play. Look around you all that was American/European made but now it’s all China and you can’t tell the difference. Pause at your own peril.
I know this is confusing just watch @bgurley here

I agree with Dario and I think we should pause all IPOs ,cap new funding and all new data centers until safety can be proven. It’s slowing down anyway so need for this. Making resources available is too risky.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

You are all full of S**T, that this is what you think will end humanity while governments make literal BOMBS whose only use is to kill people. Been killing people endlessly for years. Take your severence and stock options sit the F*** down.
Hey @PabloTorre we need you over here. This is bigger than sports.
I would like to clarify a few things:
1) The screenshot is my reaching out to Levent to coordinate our releases. I hope it’s clear from the message that we came in with the best possible intentions.
2) I never ever asked for Levent to be removed from authorship of his own work (as indicated by my text). I was surprised to learn during the call with Tristan that they had only solved Euler and not Navier-Stokes; after learning this we brainstormed possible paths forward. One option we discussed was that Tristan could be the lead author on a rewrite of OpenAI’s Navier-Stokes proof. It is in that context that I said “it would be simpler if Levent was not an Anthropic employee” because I felt it would be inappropriate for an Anthropic employee to author OpenAI’s work. Importantly it was admitted that internal Anthropic models had been used in their proof of Euler blowup; I therefore felt I could not consider Levent to be an independent academic. Another option I wanted to propose (but got cut short) is to offer access to our internal model so that they could try to finish their proof and bridge the gap between Euler and NS. Again I did not know how to navigate giving access to internal OpenAI IP to an Anthropic employee.
3) To reiterate it plainly: as my text clearly indicates, and as I said during our call, OpenAI's intention was to do everything possible to celebrate their mathematical achievements and the heroic efforts that they made on Euler. In the call I was immediately met with a litany of slander, including direct threats that if we were to announce Navier-Stokes he would immediately go to the press with a barrage of unfounded accusations. I refuted all these accusations but he replied “there is nothing you can do, I simply do not trust you”. I was confused why one would turn an incredible source for celebration (of their achievements!) into such bickering, which is when I said that I did not understand why one would risk their career [over unfounded accusations]. Genuinely, at that moment, I was trying to care for him and do a last ditch attempt to get a chance to give them all the credits that they deserve. I deeply apologize for this extremely poor choice of words, it is the opposite of what I was trying to convey. (I should say that I retracted them on the spot by the way.)
4) Overall, on a personal level, it was incredibly difficult to have these conversations. Levent refused to attend any of the meetings despite my repeated asking. As Sholto Douglas said, there will need to be coordination between Anthropic and OpenAI in the future; I felt I was doing a proxy negotiation with Anthropic while the Anthropic employee refused to directly participate.
Astra coding is abysmal, I’m sure they’ll fix it and give a postmortem on what happened in the training. It’s the worst time for this to happen as we wait for the muse subscription pricing.
RIP benchmarks, only the pelican test has been consistent so far.
Announcing Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.2. We are accelerating elements of our upcoming v5 release with interim updates to keep pace with the frontier. Index v4.2 has more complex and realistic tasks, and more private test sets to prevent gaming
Intelligence Index v4.2 changelog:
+ AA-Briefcase, our agentic knowledge work evaluation with a private test set
+ @HelloSurgeAI's GDP.pdf, long context document reasoning across 4,592 PDF pages
- GPQA Diamond, an exceptional scientific reasoning evaluation that has now been saturated
… plus greater weighting on held-out test sets to prevent gaming, and grading infrastructure upgrades to increase robustness
This update brings the Index closer to real-world use cases with more challenging, complex and realistic tasks and private test sets to prevent gaming. We have been planning and building elements of Index v5 for months - it’s been 8 months since we launched Index v4 in January.
We have deliberately held back updates to keep the Index stable through recent major model launches. However, with the frontier moving so quickly in the past weeks, we feel it is important to deliver an immediate interim update to ensure our Index remains as relevant and useful as ever to users.
Beyond this interim update, our team is hard at work on v5 of the Index. We are planning more incremental releases in the near future. Stay tuned!
Intelligence Index v4.2 changes in detail:
➤ Adding AA-Briefcase: Our in-house evaluation with a private held-out test set, AA-Briefcase tests models on realistic agentic knowledge work tasks in complex projects built by industry experts. Models are evaluated on multi-week knowledge work projects, each with many linked tasks and thousands of input source files. AA-Briefcase combines rubric and pairwise grading to evaluate verifiable task success, analytical quality, and presentation quality, giving a holistic view of overall agentic capability in knowledge work.
➤ Adding GDP.pdf: Created by @HelloSurgeAI, GDP.pdf evaluates single-turn professional document reasoning across 100 PDFs and ten domains. Models must synthesize evidence distributed across 4,592 pages, including text, tables, charts, footnotes, and exclusions. Responses are graded against 1,275 expert-authored atomic criteria; the headline All-pass Rate credits a task only when every criterion is satisfied.
➤ Weighting to measure real-world use and prevent gaming: 40% of our Index weighting is now private, held-out test sets - double the figure from v4.1. Held-out data includes AA-Briefcase, AA-Omniscience, and solutions for CritPt. This reduces the ability for labs to game evaluations. The held-out percentage will increase further in Index v5.
➤ Improving our grading infrastructure: In AA-LCR v1.1, we have added a grading system prompt and corrected errors and ambiguities in answer keys, improving scoring accuracy. For GDPval-AA v2 and AA-Briefcase, we have improved our sampling and re-anchored the Elo scale, making ratings more stable as new models are added. For SciCode we have improved robustness of grading sandboxes to ensure slow but correct code does not count as a failure.
Key results:
➤ Anthropic and OpenAI lead the Index: Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5.1 leads the Index, followed by OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra, which shows a 4pt gain over GPT-5.6 Sol. Meta is the third-ranked lab on the leaderboard, followed by SpaceXAI, Moonshot/Kimi, Z AI, and Google
➤ Cost per Task Pareto frontier shared by four labs: Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta and Z AI occupy the updated Cost per Task Pareto frontier
➤ GPT-6 Astra dominates the output token Pareto frontier: GPT-6 Astra is more token efficient than almost every other model near the intelligence frontier, with Claude Fable 5.1, Grok 4.5 and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite at either end of the curve (excludes models below 25 on the Index)
Meta just surpassed OpenAi?
GPT-6 Astra makes significant gains in the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, scoring equal to Fable 5 at lower cost. In the Intelligence Index, it uses fewer tokens than GPT-5.6 Sol for similar performance, but this is outweighed by higher prices
Pricing is 2.5x GPT-5.6 Sol’s current prices across the board, up from $4/$20 to $10/$50 per million input/output tokens, with the same 90% discount for cache reads and 25% premium for cache writes.
We see distinct stories across our two flagship Indices. In the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, GPT-6 Astra equals Fable 5 at less than half the cost, driven by significant token efficiency gains. In the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, GPT-6 Astra is more token efficient than its predecessor for similar performance, but this is offset by the price increase.
Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index - key takeaways:
➤ Rivals top models: In Codex, GPT-6 Astra scores 67 in the Index - approximately equal to Claude Opus 5 and Fable 5 in Claude Code, and Muse Spark 1.3 in Muse Code. Fable 5.1 in Claude Code leads the Index with a score of 70.
➤ 70% more token efficient than GPT-5.6 Sol: GPT-6 Astra sees a substantial improvement in token efficiency, using one third of the tokens compared to GPT-5.6 Sol (max) in the Codex harness, and one fifth of the tokens of Claude Opus 5 (xhigh). Various effort levels of the model occupy the Pareto frontier of token efficiency.
➤ Leads Coding Agent Index cost efficiency frontier: At max effort, GPT-6 Astra costs about the same as GPT-5.6 Sol (max) while scoring 2 points higher on the Index. Per task, the model is less than half the cost of Claude Fable 5, for the same score.
Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index - key takeaways:
➤ Sits beside GPT-5.6 Sol in Intelligence: GPT-6 Astra scores equal to GPT-5.6 Sol in the Index at 61. This is 5 points lower than Claude Fable 5.1 (max with fallback). The model also trails Meta’s newly released Muse Spark 1.3 (max).
➤ ~10% fewer output tokens, offset by price increase: GPT-6 Astra defines a new Pareto frontier for Intelligence Index vs Output Tokens per Task - with a ~10% reduction in token use at max effort compared to GPT-5.6 Sol. However, due to the 2.5x increase in price, the model is 75% more expensive per task than its predecessor at max effort.
➤ Hallucinates half as much as GPT-5.6 Sol: GPT-6 Astra sees a large jump in AA-Omniscience, our knowledge and hallucination benchmark. This is driven by a significant decrease in hallucination rate from 92% to 51% at max effort. Unlike some models, this improvement does not come at the cost of accuracy - Astra increased accuracy by 4 points at the same time.
➤ ~80 point gain in AA-Briefcase Elo: GPT-6 Astra improves ~80 points in AA-Briefcase, our frontier long-horizon knowledge work evaluation. Models are tested on multi-week projects, with many linked tasks and thousands of source files. Astra sees a significant increase in both rubric scores and Analytical Quality Elo in AA-Briefcase compared to its predecessor. In the other direction, we observe a reduction in Presentation Quality Elo, where GPT-5.6 Sol (max) still leads all models.
➤ Mixed progress on other evaluations: The model sees a 6 point gain in Humanity’s Last Exam, a long-standing evaluation with emphasis on mathematics, science, and humanities. This is offset by a drop of ~80 Elo points in GDPval-AA v2 - a benchmark we adapted from OpenAI’s dataset measuring economically valuable tasks across 44 occupations. We also observe 2-3 point regressions on other evaluations across a mix of capabilities, including reductions in τ³-Banking (customer support), SciCode (Python problems in a scientific domain), and AA-LCR (long context reasoning over large documents).
Congratulations @OpenAI and @sama on the launch!
