This episode of This Week in AI arrived at a moment when the AI infrastructure most teams take for granted suddenly looked a lot less stable. Andreas Welsch, founder and chief human AI officer at Intelligence Briefing, was joined by Matt Palmer, head of developer experience at Conductor and developer educator on LinkedIn Learning, to […]

The following article originally appeared on Medium and is being republished here with the author’s permission. As companies adopt AI tools, a lot of time is spent on thinking about AI policies from a security, compliance, or even cost-focused angle. But many leaders are neglecting to address how their teams should work with AI in […]
Congratulations to the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab class of 2026! This year, BAIR celebrates another remarkable group of Ph.D. graduates whose curiosity, creativity, and perseverance have pushed the frontiers of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Their work spans the breadth of modern AI — robotics and embodied intelligence, large language models and reasoning, computer vision, generative modeling, AI safety, human-AI interaction, AI for science and…
...explained step-by-step with code.
We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon. — Anthropic, on Twitter Tags: anthropic, claude, generative-ai, claude-mythos, ai, llms
Nano Banana 2 Lite Also known as Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image in their API), this is the "fastest and cheapest Gemini image model, engineered for velocity and scale". I used AI studio to run this prompt: Do a where's Waldo style image but it's where is the raccoon holding a ham radio I like that one better than the results I got from the other Nano Banana models when I tried this back in April. It spelled Forest Festival wrong in two different ways though. Via Hacker…
We, or at least ‘more than 100 American institutions,’ got Mythos back this week.
What's new in Claude Sonnet 5 Claude Sonnet 5 came out this morning. I always head straight for the "what's new" developer docs because they tend to have more actionable information than the official announcement post. Anthropic say of Sonnet 5 that "its performance is close to that of Opus 4.8, but at lower prices". The system card helps explain how they were able to release the model without being blocked by the US government: Sonnet 5 is significantly less capable at cyber tasks than…

The AI Compass This political compass style quiz by bambamramfan is pretty neat - answer 29 questions about AI and AI ethics to see which of the 30 archetypes you best fit. I'm impressed that my answers on my first time through the quiz categorized me as "The Garage Tinkerer", patron saint myself! It's implemented as a single page React app using the <script type="text/babel"> trick to avoid the necessary build step. Here's the code. Via @erisianrite.com Tags: ai, generative-ai, llms,…
shot-scraper video is a new command introduced in today's shot-scraper 1.10 release which accepts a storyboard.yml file defining a routine to run against a web application and uses Playwright to record a video of that routine. I've written before about the importance of having coding agents produce demos of their work; this is my latest attempt at enabling them to do that. Here's an example video created using shot-scraper video, exercising a still in development feature adding the ability to…
The practice of tokenmaxxing appears to be dying out, even before I had a chance to write about it. Good riddance. Burning tokens to create the appearance of productivity was fated to last only until the accountants learned about it, and the strictest of all accountants is one’s personal checkbook. What got many developers thinking […]
Release: shot-scraper 1.10 The big new feature is shot-scraper video storyboard.yml, described in detail in Have your agent record video demos of its work with shot-scraper video. Tags: shot-scraper
