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.

This Raycast extension made for you! You can Ask AI to:
• open tabs and websites for you
• search through your history, bookmarks, or your 100 open tabs 😅
• or control everything manually with Raycast commands
Absolutely brilliant work by @loris and 10 contributors 👏

StackOverflow graph of questions asked per month.
Holy shit.
ALT A graph of stack overflow questions asked per month. It’s almost a perfect curve starting at 0 on the far left, in 2009, peaking in the middle in 2017 at about 200,000, then dropping down to near 0 today on the right.

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive.
This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

I am unreasonably excited about self-driving. It will be the first technology in many decades to visibly terraform outdoor physical spaces and way of life. Less parked cars. Less parking lots. Much greater safety for people in and out of cars. Less noise pollution. More space reclaimed for humans. Human brain cycles and attention capital freed up from “lane following” to other pursuits. Cheaper, faster, programmable delivery of physical items and goods. It won’t happen overnight but there will be the era before and the era after.

🚀 Hello, Kimi K2 Thinking!
The Open-Source Thinking Agent Model is here.
🔹 SOTA on HLE (44.9%) and BrowseComp (60.2%)
🔹 Executes up to 200 – 300 sequential tool calls without human interference
🔹 Excels in reasoning, agentic search, and coding
🔹 256K context window
Built as a thinking agent, K2 Thinking marks our latest efforts in test-time scaling — scaling both thinking tokens and tool-calling turns.
K2 Thinking is now live on kimi.com in chat mode, with full agentic mode coming soon. It is also accessible via API.
🔌 API is live: platform.moonshot.ai

Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.5—the best coding model in the world.
It's the strongest model for building complex agents. It's the best model at using computers. And it shows substantial gains on tests of reasoning and math.
ALT A benchmark table for Claude Sonnet 4.5 showing leading performance across many domains, including agentic coding, computer use, mathematics, graduate-level reasoning, and financial analysis.

This was one of the longest, most interesting conversations I've ever had with another human in my life. Lots of great podcasts go deep, but @lexfridman takes you to the bottom of the Mariana trench!
Here's my 6 hour conversation with @dhh, a legendary programmer, creator of Ruby on Rails, author, and race car driver. This was a fun and inspiring conversation on everything from the future of programming & AI to the nature of happiness & productivity to the value of family, getting married and having kids.
X limits video length to 6 hours. So this full convo doesn't fit (by a few minutes). So, the first 6 hours are here on X. The full version is up everywhere else (see comment).

i work at meta. hr systems. mostly comp processing. quiet job. stable. sometimes i daydream about retiring in portugal.
today a package hit my queue. base + bonus + equity. looks normal at first glance. then i open the details.
$1,000,000,000
over four years.
plus signing.
plus year 1 minimum: $100m.
i stare at it like it’s a typo. check the name. triple check the level. researcher.
coolcoolcool. so now i have to enter this into workday.
i paste the first number, field throws an error.“value must be below $99,999,999.”
lol. okay. i try splitting it. base in one bucket, equity in another. nope. i try scientific notation. it rounds it down.
the system can’t HANDLE a billion dollars.
i call someone on payroll infra. tell them i’ve got a 10-digit comp packet. they think i’m joking. i forward the req. they go quiet.
“we’re gonna need to escalate this,” someone mutters.
“to who?” i ask.
“god, maybe.”
next thing i know zuck’s chief of staff is in the thread. now i’m in a thread with zuck. because of a number.
then i find out the guy declined the offer.
just said no. no negotiation. no counter. just… no.
i’ve been maxing out my 401k for 11 years & this man said no to a billion dollars like he was skipping dessert.
i close the ticket. delete the draft.
go for a walk.
& then i rethink everything.

Listen to this AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd.
It goes so damn hard.
It's by "Ghostwriter977" on TikTok and it's blowing up on socials + streaming platforms.
UMG, which controls around 1/3 of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban AI.
A modern Napster moment.
Will be fascinating to watch this all unfold in real-time.

okay so AI can literally read our minds now.
a team from osaka was able to reconstruct visual images from mri scan data using stable diffusion.
first row is the image presented to the test subject, second row is the reconstructed image from mri data.
wild.
