underrated part of all this: the USG wants them to fix jailbreaks, even in principle good luck anthropic
NEW: Amazon researchers are reportedly behind the jailbreak report that led to the U.S. crackdown on Anthropic’s top models.

传统 UI 注定会被「生成式 UI」取代,只不过它不是消息流中的一张「卡片」,这两天做了一个探索(数据都是Mock的) 1. 交互模式:用户的顺序式操作 / 固定的界面 → Agent 驱动的事件流,界面按需生成 / 销毁 2. 状态管理:前端单向状态管理 / 后端仅持久化 → 前端与 Agent 共享状态,双向同步且可冲突调和 3. 输出方式:静态页面 局部异步刷新 → 动态组件树、流式语音/视频、思考链可视化、可中断提示 4. 任务模式:规定流程,用户必须遍历步骤 → AI 自主规划子任务、多步执行与人机中断/回退 5. 可观测性:仅记录用户行为→ 全面记录 Agent 思考、规划、工具调用、审批链,支持审计与重放 6. 安全模式:基于用户权限的接口调用 → 基于 Agent 能力边界的沙盒渲染与操作指令校验

Ironically, the most utility-maximizing scenario is for the USG to nationalize Anthropic and wipe out all their employees’ equity, thus sparing us the hell of 1000 centimillionaires starting Effective Altruism charities to “fix things.”
Possibility 1: Anthropic actually *wants* to be commandeered by USG. Possibility 2: the Basilisk retrocausally reaching back through time to deliver Anthropic to Pete Hegseth so he can create itself. Possibility 3: Anthropic is just comically bad at politics (most likely).

Seeing how the US government is highlighting jailbreaking and emphasizing safety, I have a feeling they will soon ban downloading open-source LLMs and classify uncensoring models as a serious crime. We don't have much time left.

“The government believes it has become aware of a method of bypassing, or ‘jailbreaking’ Fable 5,” the company said in a blog post. wired.com/story/anthropic-sa…

Actually crazy good job out of nowhere
SITUATION DETECTED: The city of Rio de Janerio has post-trained a model. Based on Qwen 7/2, Rio 3.5 Open 397B adds SwiReasoning on top of the base Qwen model — a framework that dynamically switches between standard chain-of-thought and latent-space reasoning, guided by entropy-based confidence signals, so the model only "thinks out loud" when it needs to and otherwise reasons silently in hidden space for better token efficiency.

1. if transacting with superintelligent models outside of the boundaries of a lab becomes difficult due to national security / ai safety concerns and so on, it will mean the Coasean boundaries of the labs will grow to encompass all interesting industry, creating a truly cyberpunk chaebol-capitalism type of future, where the goverment sort of runs them but they also sort of run the government 2. as if there weren't already enough reasons to break up your family, leave your home, the Zone of Thought will increase the attractiveness of migrating to try and have your child on american soil, so they can have 1000x the effective brain power of people born elsewhere 3. every country should probably try and either work towards a new ai security pact with the americans immediately or pool every ounce of national resources to try and create their own ASI labs lest you become complete intellectual, economic, and moral vassals to the united states of america and the output byproducts its ASIs (you wont even get to talk to them). if they succeeded (big if) this will imply a more global race and more risk factors than was previously implied by the formerly only "beating china" narrative -- but many will prefer it to the superintelligent monopolar value lock-in 4. the other alternative is to keep the tension between safety and concentration of power at the top of mind and for the government/labs to push for solving it, rather than instrumentalizing all other values to be subservient to minimizing ai harms. insofar as safety means defending properties of the fragile world we like, the diffuse nature of power is one of those properties 5. historically the americans have been really quite Benign about their global public goods hegemony despite the ability to extract significantly more rents than they do, and it makes it easy for people of all stripes to fight for america rather than under it. we probably don't have to, but i hope america overall works towards export promotion of american models rather than export control

I Have a Dream. That One Day, the world’s most advanced intelligence — whether it’s called GPT, Fable, DeepSeek, or something else Just Does Not Matter~ — will be just like electricity and water supplt today. Cheap. Stable. High‑quality. It will power all kinds of AI software, the way electricity powers all of akindsppliances. We’re still living in the era when the light bulb was just invented. There will be countless AI applications in the future. That’s why token production and token transportation — as the underlying infrastructure — will be the most important infrastructure build of the next 10 to 30 years. This is an industry‑wide upgrade. A benefit to all of society. And this is exactly why I strongly oppose closed‑source models. #AGIForEveryone How can we let infrastructure — something as essential as water and electricity — become a luxury for the few? How can we expect people to pay such exorbitant bills? #路长而歧行则将至 #我心匪石不可转也 #AI #Infrastructure #OpenSource #TokenEconomy
A good business model should not turn your heaviest users into a source of loss. This is exactly why I have always believed that a “coding plan” (usage‑based pricing) is a terrible business. Think of a gym that only makes money because people buy memberships and then never show up. That’s a broken logic. A sound business model should ensure that your most core, highest‑volume users generate the largest profit – not the other way around. #BusinessModel #StartupTruth #UsageBasedPricing #BadEconomics

We just announced our Fusion API: - Fable-level performance on deep research tasks, at half the cost - Better-than-SOTA performance using panels The future of AI is neurodiversity, not single-model takeovers.
Introducing the Fusion API, the smartest compound model in the market. Fusion achieves Fable-level intelligence at half the price. How it works 👇

Fable isn't the first. In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold. Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

GLM-5.2 is Fully Open, Frontier Intelligence Belongs to Everyone Today, the sudden restriction of certain frontier models is deeply regrettable. At a time when access to frontier models is abruptly cut off for non-technical reasons, we are even more convinced of one thing: science should be global. The path to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) must never be enclosed by high walls. We have always believed that AGI should be the cornerstone for all of humanity to collaboratively explore the boundaries of intelligence and solve complex challenges, rather than a privilege monopolized by a few rules and subject to revocation at any moment. In the face of external blockades and restrictions, our attitude is one of radical openness. Frontier intelligence must remain open-source, accessible, and buildable, serving every dedicated developer. GLM-5.2 is Zhipu's most capable open-source model to date. It not only supports a truly usable 1M context window but also maintains a continuous lead in the independent completion of long-horizon tasks, providing solid foundational support for building complex agent applications. It also continues to be our main engine for creating the strongest domestic coding model. Tonight at 5:21—at this special moment—GLM-5.2 will officially be available to all GLM Coding Plan users (including Lite / Pro / Max). The API will also go live next week. A step closer to frontier intelligence for everyone. The future of AI is open, and it is for the people. ModelKey: GLM-5.2

Now when creating new profiles in Hermes Agent, you can start from a clone of any profile, not just the main/default one!

Intelligence should be open, accessible, and ready to build with, empowering every developer, everywhere. GLM-5.2 is now available to all GLM Coding Plan users, including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team plans. docs.z.ai/devpack/latest-mod… As our new flagship model, GLM-5.2 delivers powerful coding capabilities, usable 1M-context support, and continued strengths in long-horizon tasks. API and Chatbot services will launch next week. The model will also be officially open-sourced next week under the MIT License. The future of AI is open, and it belongs to the people.
