If we end up solving the Riemann Hypothesis by telling a computer "bro, believe in yourself" then I might have to go live in a hole www.anthropic.com/research/rie...

Learning more about Claude's mathematical capabilities anthropic.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • An unreleased Claude research build lifted a lower bound for zeros of the Riemann zeta function from 41.6% to 67.2%, per Anthropic.
  • The run used 31 million output tokens across two sessions, about 60 subagents, 2,400 shell commands, and reviewed 54 arXiv papers.
  • Anthropic mathematicians Levent Alpöge and Ralph Furman plus external reviewers Brian Conrey and Dan Goldston examined the findings; Claude produced a Lean formalization.

New York Times’ Malachy Browne on the future of visual investigations in the age of AI reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Browne says an AI model scanned satellite imagery of Gaza and flagged more than 500 craters consistent with 2,000-pound bombs in areas designated as safe.
  • He warns that visual and audio verification are becoming extremely challenging, with detection tools struggling to keep pace with generation tools in an arms race.
  • The New York Times visual investigations team, which Browne joined in 2016, also used satellite imagery to track a Chinese balloon from China across the Pacific.

At the start of the year I took a quick look at climate change and AI in media coverage. At the time, it seemed like climate change had fallen by the wayside, despite the urgency of the threat of a rapidly warming planet. As of June 2026, not much has changed felixsimon.substa…

Recent commentary

A thought sparked by Google’s IO: AI as it is deployed increasingly really tethers us more closely to information but mediated through the largest platforms (here Google) – it really is a centralisation of information that we are seeing.

Against my better judgment, I wrote something short on the claim that UK news isn't paying enough attention to the Claude Fable quagmire and AI more broadly.

Didn't expect a shoutout when I read this great FT Alphaville piece which takes a good look at open-weight models. In a nutshell, 1) locally run models see some real demand growth because they are a) good enough, b) cheaper, and c) don't come with IP security concerns (see OpenAI's mathematics news)

One of the interesting epistemic side-effects of AI diffusion to me is the two-tier system that seems to have emerged around it in terms of information access/quality and people’s perception of what AI can(not) do as a result.

Last summer, I co-organised a small symposium on AI agents which in light of the OpenAI/Hugging face news feels prescient. Some quotes from the symposium report: "Several of those present argued that many of the most pressing risks are systemic."

Not entirely sure I agree with everything argued in this short commentary pre-print on AI slop, but I do think the authors get one thing right: It’s too easy to dismiss AI slop.
