Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.
You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.
I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.
But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.
Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.
Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.
So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.
If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.
How is anyone possibly fading this. Once scaled up (yes always issues) its a done deal
Outside needing large luggage and stuff, would jump in these in a second
Claude Cowork is coming to mobile and web.
Hand Claude a task at your desk and pick up the finished work from your phone. Close the laptop and Claude keeps going.
Beta is rolling out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow.
This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads.
Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.
When we turn 18, we wish we took on sports earlier.
When we turn 25, we wish we tried harder at school.
When we turn 35, we wish we started that business.
When we turn 40, we wish to do it all over again.
The truth is the best time to plant a seed was 20 years ago.
The second best time, is today.
Anthropic a publié une Formation complet de 2 HEURES sur la construction d'agents Claude.
Animé par l'ingénieur qui construit Claude Code.
Gardez-la précieusement en Signet🔖
de A à Z : Structurer un agent qui se gère sans supervision. Lui donner accès au terminal pour exécuter, lire, corriger. Gérer sa mémoire via le système de fichiers. Bloquer les hallucinations avec des Hooks. Faire tourner un agent sur un gros codebase sans tout casser.
À la fin : vous utilisez Claude comme un pro et vous monétisez vos compétences. Débutant ou avancé, tout est là en un seul endroit, ce cours couvre tout.
Ça vaut plus que tous les cours à 500$ que t’as failli acheter.
Uber is going to be bought by Google/Waymo, Amazon or Tesla/SpaceX in the next year.
For a “buy it now” price of $250b, one of those three companies gets a $12b a year free cash flow machine with $70b in revenue — and hundreds of millions of global customers
This is the most obvious M&A deal since Instagram, Android and YouTube transformed Meta and Google
