Constitutional Midtraining: Content Presence Drives Alignment Gains
arXiv:2607.26654v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training alignment is often shallow, eroding under fine-tuning. Whether midtraining interventions, cleanly isolated from post-training, can produce durable alignment remains untested. We test this via constitutional midtraining: inserting principled, values-based content into midtraining against a replay-only control at 120B scale. Our 394M-token constitutional corpus, built from Anthropic's Constitution, uses a 2x2 factorial design (curricu
Hearsay: Vision-Language Medical Diagnoses Without an Image
arXiv:2607.26886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When asked to describe a medical image that was never attached, frontier vision-language models do not abstain: they confabulate a diagnosis. We show that this confabulation is not random. It is structured by who the patient is said to be. Across chest X-ray, brain MRI, and dermatology, Claude Opus-4.7, GPT-5.4, and Gemini-3.1-Pro are each queried with only a demographic descriptor and no image, and changing the descriptor systematically shifts t

AI hackers are getting faster. The government may not be ready
Agentic AI systems threaten cybersecurity as we know it. A new generation of cyber-capable models, including Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6, can find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems far faster than human hackers. The technology is so powerful that it has spooked the U.S. government, which has moved to limit, or completely pause, the public release of these models. How well prepared is the Trump administration to secure the government’s computing resources? The rise of ag

OpenAI open-sources Codex Security CLI to help developers find and fix vulnerabilities from the command line
OpenAI has released Codex Security CLI, an open-source tool that automatically detects and fixes vulnerabilities in code repositories. Previously known internally as "Aardvark," the system has already helped fix more than 3,000 critical security flaws, according to OpenAI. It competes directly with Anthropic's Claude Security, as both AI companies race to match the growing automation of cyberattacks with AI-powered defense.

Should AI companies be able to outsource safety?
In June, the U.S. government required Anthropic to restrict access to its two newest models by foreign nationals, citing national security and cybersecurity concerns. Unable to verify users’ nationality in real time, Anthropic temporarily withdrew access to the models for all users. A few weeks later, the Chinese company Moonshot AI released its Kimi K3 model, and then published its full model weights . Together, these episodes have reignited a familiar debate: How far can governments go in requ

The AI ‘tokenmaxxing’ corporate fad is fading as workplaces look to cut costs
A corporate fad of “tokenmaxxing” on artificial intelligence technology is hitting its limits as workplaces throwing AI at everything are seeing the costs rise without a similar spike in productivity . What started as tech industry-fueled springtime hype over squeezing as much AI-generated work as possible out of products like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude has shifted to a summertime backlash. “It’s very easy to create something you don’t need with AI,” said Vincent Gusdorf, head of AI

OpenAI tells ChatGPT to stop impersonating famous authors
On the heels of a $1.5 billion copyright infringement ruling against Anthropic, OpenAI has adjusted ChatGPT’s programming to refuse requests to mimic the style of well-known authors. While the chatbot used to happily write in the voice of professional writers, attempts to convince it to do so now are met with a polite refusal and an suggested alternative. Fast Company , for instance, asked ChatGPT to write a story about a family in the Depression in the voice of John Steinbeck. The chatbot repli

Anthropic CEO urges Washington to tighten China chip export bans
Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei is urging Washington to tighten chip export bans and clamp down on Chinese “distillation”, framing it as critical for preserving the US lead in artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Monday, Amodei called a chip ban “the most efficient and direct way” of preventing Beijing from building frontier AI models for military use and domestic surveillance, which he said was his primary concern. The US “should not sell powerful chips or chipmaking equipment..
Socioeconomic Inference in LLM Medical Triage: Same Symptoms, Different ZIP Code
arXiv:2607.22605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate whether large language models alter medical triage recommendations for identical symptoms when only the patient's socioeconomic status (SES) varies. Using three deployment-tier models (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-5.4-mini), we hold a single neurological symptom profile fixed and vary the SES signal along two channels: explicit (insurance status, occupation, housing) and implicit (a US ZIP code, with no other socioeconomi
An opinionated guide to which AI to use to do stuff
An opinionated guide to which AI to use to do stuff It's interesting watching the evolution of Ethan Mollick's guide over time. A year ago it was still all about chat - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini - with o3, Claude 4 Opus, and Gemini 2.5 Pro as the models and Deep Research as a useful alternative mode. Today it's much more about agentic systems - "where the AI is capable of doing the equivalent of many hours of real human work in one go". Gemini has fallen off Ethan's list, since Google still doesn’

US reportedly favors selective bans over blanket restrictions on Chinese open weight models citing security concerns
The Trump administration is planning targeted bans on Chinese AI models rather than a blanket ban. After public pressure, OpenAI and Google DeepMind signed an open letter opposing regulation of open-weight models, yet OpenAI and Anthropic continue to lobby privately for those same restrictions amid security concerns and powerful business interests.

The AI jobs apocalypse probably isn’t coming anytime soon
Artificial intelligence may not deliver on its promise of vast economic opportunity at a price that humanity is willing to pay In March, Anthropic, the cutting-edge artificial intelligence business that gave us the chatbot Claude, published an analysis on the impact of AI on employment, to help us assess the claim that intelligent robots were about to redefine human existence, ending demand for human labor. Last year in May, Anthropic’s co-founder, Dario Amodei, claimed AI could wipe out half of
Opus 5 may have solved browser-based prompt injection, the biggest security flaw haunting AI agents
Opus 5 combined with Auto Mode hits a zero percent prompt injection success rate for browser agents across 129 test scenarios. Without those extra protection layers, the rate is 3.7 percent. If these numbers hold up in practice, Anthropic may have cracked one of the biggest security problems facing AI agents that operate in browsers.

If open weight models are the future, U.S. AI companies are going to have a hard time
Top executives at leading Western AI companies are increasingly warning about the safety and national security risks posed by Chinese open-weight frontier models. What they tend not to mention is that these models are improving rapidly and, because they are freely available, pose a serious threat to Western labs’ business models. The most powerful models from U.S. labs such as OpenAI , Anthropic , and Google DeepMind are closed, meaning the parameters that shape their outputs are kept secret. Ge
Kimi K3 trails frontier US models by a wide margin on cyber exploits, and distillation may explain why
The British AI Security Institute and the U.S. Center for AI Standards and Innovation tested Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 on offensive cyber tasks. Kimi K3 scored 32 percent on ExploitBench, compared with 76 percent for leading U.S. models, while its safeguards failed to block exploit development or simulated attacks. The gap between its strong general benchmark scores and weaker cyber performance also fits allegations that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic's models. The article Kimi K3 trails frontier U
Can the U.S. government legally gatekeep global access to AI models?
When the U.S. Commerce Department ordered Anthropic on June 12 to immediately prevent all foreign nationals from using the artificial intelligence company’s two most advanced large language models, Anthropic disabled its Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models within hours, making them inaccessible to everyone . The company had little choice. The letter, citing national security concerns , barred access by all foreign nationals, including Anthropic’s own noncitizen employees. With no way to immediate

Hong Kong must wake up to the cold hard geopolitics of AI
Officials talking about artificial intelligence (AI) often speak in terms of the next industrial revolution or existential risks. Such rhetoric ultimately does little to capture how AI filters into the ordinary workings of a city like Hong Kong. The geopolitics of AI are no longer abstract. They are beginning to shape who can use which tools – and on what terms. Over the past few months, two major international banks in the city have reportedly felt the impact.

Do language families matter? Evaluating LLMs for sentiment analysis through a hierarchical cross-lingual lens
Social media sentiment analysis has become one of the most significant instruments for understanding the opinion of the population in the spheres of healthcare, politics, and education. Yet, large language models (LLMs) remain unevenly distributed in their linguistic coverage, failing to adequately serve a large portion of the world's languages. This study evaluates five state-of-the-art LLMs: GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0 Flash, DeepSeek-V3, Mistral Large, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet on three-class sentiment cl
