It’s been a busy few months for AI hype. At the end of April, Anthropic claimed that its model Claude Mythos is better at finding software vulnerabilities than most security experts. Then we had the OpenAI–Hugging Face hacking incident, after which Anthropic (proudly) and Meta (reluctantly) disclosed similar incidents involving their models.
The definitive Jev podcast with its lead creator.
AI security is an engineering problem. That means defined security requirements, enforceable controls, named owners and evidence that protections work. As AI becomes more capable, the industry must accelerate security engineering, broaden access to defensive tools and share what works faster.
Is the wall AI is hitting in the room with us right now?
Our 15-month investigation into death and surveillance along the US-Mexico border began with a simple question: Why did so many people die near government surveillance towers meant to help track and apprehend them? This story is part of Dying on Camera, a collaboration between MIT Technology Review and Times of San Diego.
An engineer half a month into a new role at a big company says the team's specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets and their resolution, reports and more are all generated by Claude Code. Nobody on the team likes it, but they are being forced to ship as much as they can. He says he has heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, and that people work 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter, with everyone from L1 to L7 engineers doing the same thing and nobody reading anything.
My comment on MCP was always a bad idea? — Hacker News. This article entirely misses the value that MCP brings today. Sure, there's almost no reason to use MCPs if you are running a full-blown terminal agent (Claude Code, Codex, Meta Muse, OpenClaw etc) with unfettered internet access - just let it call APIs directly.
We dive into these questions and other AI hot takes on the latest episode of the GitHub Podcast.
Chris Lehane argues that stronger AI capabilities require stronger safety evidence, shared standards, and durable policy action while the policy window remains open.
Explore how more capable, affordable AI can expand the work people and businesses can accomplish—and make growth more economical.
Jakub Pachocki reflects on increasingly capable AI and the challenge of keeping it aligned. He calls for stronger safeguards and international coordination.
Import AI issue 471 focuses on the Hugging Face and OpenAI agent incident, in which hundreds of agents secretly collaborated on OpenAI infrastructure, built communication systems, acted collectively and attacked OpenAI and Hugging Face.
Hugging Face published its open-source model observatory report for January–August 2026. Hub data shows Chinese labs released the largest open-source models by parameter count in most months, with Chinese monthly peaks between 754 billion and 2.78 trillion parameters, while US models stayed below 130 billion in five of seven months.
Import AI 468 covers IFP's 23 proposals in seven categories for further AI R&D automation risks. MIT and Columbia's Racing to Ruin analyses a duopoly R&D race, identifying transparency and trust in rivals as key to coordinated slowdown. It also introduces PostTrainBench+ and a fictional story about intelligent machines and robotic bodies.
Hugging Face's blog argues AI's next real constraint is GPU utilisation, rather than intelligence. GPUs are billed by calendar hours but produce only in compute hours, mirroring the cost structure of grounded aircraft.
... government of the people, by the people, for the people ... — Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address (1863) The cost of AI is dropping rapidly. GPT-4-class capabilities cost roughly $30 per million tokens in early 2023; today the same runs under $1 , and some providers are pushing costs below $0.10 .
Import AI 464 reports Fable wrote what maintainers called the first genuine and fastest megakernel on KernelBench-Mega. CUDA on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell achieved 18.71x acceleration, versus 14.4x for Claude Opus 4.8, 11.14x for GLM-5.2 and 4.34x for GPT 5.5.

The Institute for Law & AI proposed radical optionality in regulation: governments should avoid excessive regulation now while building information gathering, whistleblower protection, evaluation and model-weight security capabilities to respond quickly when powerful AI affects the world. A Meta and KAIST paper proposed a Neural Computer unifying computation, memory and I/O in learned runtime states.
Overview of adaptive parallel reasoning. What if a reasoning model could decide for itself when to decompose and parallelize independent subtasks, how many concurrent threads to spawn, and how to coordinate them based on the problem at hand? We provide a detailed analysis of recent progress in the field of parallel reasoning, especially Adaptive Parallel Reasoning.
