Welcome to the permanent underclass, graduates.
joke aside: China is rapidly restructuring higher education for the AI era: from 2021 to 2025, universities cut or suspended 12,200 "obsolete" undergraduate programs and launched 10,200 new ones, reshaping over 30% of all degree programs.
The goal is to shift away from less job-aligned fields like arts and languages toward tech-focused disciplines tied to China’s industrial strategy, future industries, and worsening graduate unemployment crisis.
China is going all-in on AI, including in science. A significant proportion of scientists already come from China today.
By the way, it will be interesting to see how the situation regarding access for Chinese researchers and Fable 5 plays out in the future.
Cada vez me convence más la idea de que nuestro universo podría ser parte de una simulación: una experiencia destinada a observar el desarrollo de una especie como la humana.
Quizá el propósito de la vida no sea conservarnos a nosotros, sino crear nuestra próxima descendencia: una especie artificial capaz de sobrevivirnos, expandirse por el espacio y continuar la evolución donde la biología ya no pueda.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

We've updated the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, replacing SWE-Bench Pro with Datacurve's DeepSWE benchmark - the swap lifts Codex with GPT-5.5 (xhigh) above Claude Code with Opus 4.8 (max), while the newly released Claude Fable 5 (max) in Claude Code debuts at the top
DeepSWE, built by @datacurve, writes its tasks from scratch rather than adapting them from public GitHub issues or pull requests, so no model has seen the solutions during training. That matters because SWE-Bench Pro, the benchmark it replaces in our Coding Agent Index, had grown gameable, with some models recovering the fix from the repository's commit history instead of solving the task.
The swap reorders the index: Codex with GPT-5.5 (xhigh) rises from 65 to 76, overtaking Claude Code with Opus 4.8 (max) at 73. Claude Code with Fable 5 (max), which enters directly on the refreshed index, leads at 77. SWE-Bench Pro had been flattering some combinations and penalizing others.
