Picture yourself asked to multiply 12,345 by 56,789. Your brain doesn’t instantly produce an answer — it needs time to work through the problem step by step. This seemingly obvious observation is revolutionizing how we...
What if you could package up a capability—say, a specialized data analysis routine or a custom deployment script—and give it to an AI agent as a self-contained “skill” it can use whenever needed? That’s exactly...
Imagine paying $200/month for a tool that suddenly decides you don’t need to know which files it’s reading. That’s exactly what happened to Claude Code users this week—and the community backlash reveals something deeper about...
Ever wondered why some AI assistants feel genuinely helpful while others seem to forget what you just said? The secret lies in architecture—and specifically, in how these systems handle memory. The Core Insight Lilian Weng’s...
Here’s an uncomfortable truth about AI-augmented work: the productivity boost is real, but so is the exhaustion. New research explains why “getting more done” with AI might actually be unsustainable. The Core Insight A study...
What if the key to preventing AI catastrophe isn’t more rules, but genuine moral reasoning? Anthropic just revealed their answer, and it might redefine how we think about AI alignment. The Core Insight Anthropic’s newly...
Anthropic faces a paradox that should concern anyone paying attention to AI development: they’re simultaneously the most safety-obsessed major AI lab AND pushing just as aggressively toward dangerous frontier capabilities as everyone else. Their proposed...
The era of “just give it a prompt” is ending. As AI coding agents evolve from novelty to necessity, a new discipline is emerging that separates productive developers from frustrated ones: context engineering. The Core...
This week’s security news reveals a troubling pattern: attackers are increasingly targeting the trust relationships that power modern development and AI ecosystems. From malicious AI skills to supply chain attacks on beloved tools, the threat...
A rigorous empirical study demolishes common assumptions about how to structure context for LLM agents operating on structured data. The Core Insight Every AI agent needs context. But how should you format that context? YAML?...
