- StandardSummaries only🔬Bio-security is an AI Arms Race - Eric Nguyen (CEO, Radical Numerics)
Published Sep 23, 2026
The OpenAI → Hugging Face attack has people asking “what else do we need to worry about?” and Anthropic’s filters flag two things: cyber-security and biology. The natural question is: what about bio-security, then? Clem Delangue argues that cyber-warfare defensive capabilities need to be open and to keep pace with frontier models’ attack capabilitiesRadical Numerics co-founder Eric Nguyen sat down with us and explained why the same models that increase biological capability can also keep defense

- StandardSummaries onlyWhy Anthropic Thinks AI Should Have Its Own Computer — Felix Rieseberg of Claude Cowork & Claude Code Desktop
Published Mar 17, 2026
Claude Cowork came out of an accident.Felix and the Anthropic team noticed something interesting with Claude Code: many users were using it primarily for all kinds of messy knowledge work instead of coding. Even technical builders would use it for lots of non-technical work.Even more shocking, Claude cowork wrote itself. With a team of humans simply orchestrating multiple claude code instances, the tool was ready after a brief week and a half.This isn’t Felix’s first rodeo with impactful and pla

- StandardSummaries only[State of Code Evals] After SWE-bench, Code Clash & SOTA Coding Benchmarks recap — John Yang
Published Dec 31, 2025
From creating SWE-bench in a Princeton basement to shipping CodeClash, SWE-bench Multimodal, and SWE-bench Multilingual, John Yang has spent the last year and a half watching his benchmark become the de facto standard for evaluating AI coding agents—trusted by Cognition (Devin), OpenAI, Anthropic, and every major lab racing to solve software engineering at scale. We caught up with John live at NeurIPS 2025 to dig into the state of code evals heading into 2026: why SWE-bench went from ignored (Oc
