Anthropic's When AI builds itself "We looked at sessions where a human researcher took a wrong turn, showed Claude the session up to that point, and asked it what to do next. Mythos Preview improved on humans 64% of the time—up from 22% in 2024." www.anthropic.com/institute/re...

China’s Ministry of Commerce has led meetings over the past month with major AI companies, including Alibaba, ByteDance, and Z.ai, to discuss measures that would restrict overseas access to cutting-edge AI models, including models that have not yet been released. www.reuters.c…

New gemma!!! And it's a diffusion model! Deepmind keeps releasing diffusion stuff 🤔 it's not that much worse on benches compared to the same sized autoregressive Gemma 4

DiffusionGemma: 4x faster text generation blog.google
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • DiffusionGemma generates 256 tokens per forward pass using bidirectional attention, reaching 1,000+ tokens/sec on a single H100 GPU.
  • With only 3.8B active parameters during inference and an 18GB VRAM footprint when quantized, it runs on consumer hardware without server-grade resources.
  • Google recommends DiffusionGemma only for speed-critical workloads like in-line editing and code infilling, not for applications requiring maximum quality.

Recent commentary

When coding with AI agents, you quickly realize that generating code is becoming cheap and fast, while verification (testing, reviewing, securing, and integrating it) remains the real bottleneck and still requires substantial human oversight. 🤷

This is on point for China, which has always seen itself as the center of the world, except during the “Century of Humiliation.” China’s message is essentially: We will keep our AI models open-weight and work with other countries to advance AI development.

Banning open-weight Chinese AI models would be dumb on so many levels. The rest of the world would still have access to Chinese models capable of attacking U.S. businesses.

LLMs can't jump. The thought experiment is this: Take an LLM with a 1905 knowledge cutoff. Feed it every paper, every dataset, every equation of that era. Could it invent general relativity? No.

Hot take: Software development professionals have been forcing everyone else to change how they work for decades. Now AI is changing how software developers work, and suddenly some of them are resisting the change. Please grow up and adapt, just like every other profession had to.

Google DeepMind's DiffusionGemma Technical Report They feel text diffusion models open up a radically different part of the latency–quality Pareto frontier and hope the report makes it easier for researchers and engineers to understand the model, build on it, and create things we haven’t thought of

One interesting thing about Anthropic is that they insist they’re trustworthy guardians of AI, yet they often seem to lack emotional intelligence, or much understanding of life outside their field.

A Brown professor gave his students a take-home midterm exam. After suspecting many cheated using AI, he made the final in-person. The orange dots are the midterm scores and the gray dots are the final scores. I applaud S22 for honesty because I would've cheated.
