Opus 4.5 is now available in Claude Code.

Senior engineers are accepting more AI code than juniors because they know how to prompt and decompose work effectively: agents are amplifying senior skill rather than replacing it.

The intersection of AI and geopolitics has escalated to Manhattan Project levels. The White House launched the Genesis Mission, a massive initiative using Department of Energy DOE supercomputers to bu

Anthropic, OpenAI, and Block created the Agentic AI Foundation AAIF under the Linux Foundation, donating MCP, AGENTS.md, and goose as founding projects. MCP got a new spec in late November, pushing it

Recently a Chinese state sponsored attack used Claude to run 80-90% of the work using MCP tools to harvest credentials, plant backdoor, and write exploits. The implication is that AI agents boost atta

A new paper proposes neural networks as a hierarchy of learners that update parameters during inference, allowing for continuous learning without forgetting—potentially the "next Transformer" moment.
