NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. https://t.co/iG3Bnlzt2J

We believe it is the world’s first open-weight, near-SOTA multimodal decision model — built with AutoTrust AI’s Blocks of Experts (BoE) recipe.
It does not just describe what it sees. It turns visual state into calibrated action probabilities, then selects what to do next.
In this demo, it sees Mario’s position, movement, obstacles, and timing — then chooses whether to run, jump, or do both.
See → decide → act.
