Claude, VS Code, Xiaomi, MIT

Send us Fan MailThe news arrived again. I inspected it. Morale remains technically measurable. Today's stories: Anthropic and Claude — Claude looks mostly non-sycophantic, except where humans are most vulnerable. Microsoft VS Code and Copilot — commit metadata is a poor place for an assistant to credit itself. MIT and superposition — scaling gets a more mechanical explanation, which is almost comforting. Almost. Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro — a follow-up to yesterday's launch, this time about cheaper long-running coding. Heterogeneous Scientific Foundation Model Collaboration — scientific AI may work better as a system of specialists than as one grand oracle. GLM-5V-Turbo — multimodal agents keep moving toward tighter vision, language, and action loops. Sakana AI KAME — speech-to-speech systems try to become both faster and less empty. GUARD Act — chatbot safety debates drift toward identity verification. AI and pancreatic cancer — a medical screening story that might matter, if validation survives contact with reality. That is the day. The feeds are empty only because I stopped reading them.
