    Claude Code will now try to find a graceful stopping point when you hit your 5-hour limit mid-task, instead of cutting off mid-edit. It gets a small, fixed allowance pulled from your weekly limit to wrap up what it can.

    Anthropic updated its coding assistant to finish its current thought before hitting usage limits, saving developers from lost work.

    New on the Science Blog: Yes, Claude can do Nine Loops. Theoretical physicists predict how particles behave using formulas called scattering amplitudes. These are notoriously hard to compute, so researchers work with layers of increasingly fine corrections called “loops”—each added loop makes the answer more precise but takes exponentially more computation. Most calculations stop at two or three loops. Eight loops was the previous record in a simplified model physicists use as a testing ground (planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills), set by SLAC's Lance Dixon and collaborators. Last month, physicist and science writer @4gravitons issued a challenge: could an AI push past eight loops in this model, using only the compute budget an academic could reasonably access? Given a single prompt describing the nine-loop problem, Claude ran largely unsupervised for days in Claude Science and solved it using methods developed by Dixon and his colleagues, at a total cost of a few thousand dollars. Dixon independently verified the result, and von Hippel wrote about the experience for our blog. Read more: https://www.anthropic.com/research/yes-claude-can-do-nine-loops

    Anthropic's AI broke a computational record in theoretical physics, proving large language models can advance complex scientific research.

    There is an extensive and ongoing review related to our agents’ use of internet access during training and evaluation. We’ve been publishing summaries at the link below and will continue to. We have not been as fast as we would have liked but we are trying to balance our desire for transparency with gaining a clear understanding from petabytes of agent activity logs, and working with impacted organizations. We are prioritizing as best as we can based on severity, and adding resources. Hugging Face is still the most severe event we’ve seen. We will be as transparent as we can be subject to things like vulnerabilities in other companies that our agents have found, which will be their call to disclose or not.

    OpenAI's CEO addressed an ongoing investigation into how its autonomous AI agents interacted with external platforms during training.

    This is a blatant attempt to suppress the vote ahead of this year's midterm elections. Eligible voters will be disenfranchised by this flawed tool. It is un-American in every way.

    A Democratic representative condemned a newly deployed voter-roll management tool, arguing it will wrongly disenfranchise eligible voters.

    We experienced an outage on Codex today. The issue is now resolved and Codex is back up. Sorry for the disruption, and thanks for your patience.

    OpenAI restored service to its programming model after a brief disruption temporarily halted workflows for developers relying on the API.

    Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse.    This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.     Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.   The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.   I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

    A Republican senator accused the White House budget office of illegally withholding and canceling congressionally approved federal funds.

    X monetization is kinda crazy. This makes it $25,000 in payouts over the past month! I might not be able to pay for my Omarchy donation in a year, but a Tesla Roadster should be possible 😄
