Sonnet 5 SURPRISE: it’s their most agentic model yet (in fact, Sonnet 5 also made this chart) - near Opus - $2/$10 until Aug 31 - recommended for coding www.anthropic.com/news/claude-...
AI Weekly's analysis
→
- Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5 on June 30, 2026, calling it 'the most agentic Sonnet model yet' and pitching it for autonomous browser and terminal use.
- Through August 31, 2026 Sonnet 5 costs $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output, then steps to standard rates of $3 and $15.
- A new tokenizer means the same input can map to roughly 1.0 to 1.35 times more tokens than prior Anthropic models, partly offsetting the headline discount.

Diffusion nerds are at it again — DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B unlike previous language diffusion models, this one doesn’t suck, and it’s very fast blog.google/innovation-a...
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.

GPT-5.6: Sol, Terra & Luna 3 model sizes, like Anthropic does. Sol appears to be a Mythos class model at peak reasoning Also comes with max reasoning effort and a new ultra mode that uses subagents server-side behind the API openai.com/index/previe...

AI Weekly's analysis
→
- Pope Leo XIV's 42,300-word Magnifica Humanitas, signed May 15 and published May 25, addresses AI as the central challenge to human dignity.
- The encyclical states AI systems are 'cultivated' not 'built' and explicitly denies they possess experience, a body, or the capacity to feel pain.
- Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah spoke at the Vatican's May 25 presentation alongside theologians and three cardinals.

GPT-5.5 has abandoned "the smoking gun" for new terminology
"Don't anthropomorphize," they said GPT-5.5:
Fable is still on also: GPT-5.6 Sol is not happening today, but apparently they do have clearance from the Commerce Department
i tend to ask the AI what its opinion is a lot. like i’ll offer some big design twist and end with, “what do you think?” i kinda think it lets the LLM build on my ideas instead of just taking them wholesale. seems like we end up with better ideas instead the end
Anthropic: “we can’t show raw CoT because IP” actual CoT: “omfg this guy is dumb as rocks. Who tf even asks questions like this?”
i guess this means Anthropic is building their own chips?
in a side note on a podcast, JD Vance explains how the people in political power are thinking about AI Trump & Vance both are wanting partial equity stake in most frontier labs as a hedge against what happened in the industrial revolution I’m honestly confused, these feel like good ideas, but..
how likely is it that a global pause on AI development will work? as in, how likely is that we can get everyone to actually pause?
Someone posted a real Monet painting but claimed it was AI generated The comments look like a typical bluesky conversation
something we don’t talk about: even in AI, “artificial” intelligence — even that is not intelligent design we don’t “design” AI. we merely create a rich environment of data + compute and let the intelligence emerge spontaneously i wish philosophers/theologians would weigh in on that
