Anthropic announced Claude Opus 4.6, branding it as a direct upgrade that handles complex, multi‑step tasks with higher quality on the first try. The model expands beyond coding to improve work in documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, and adds a one‑million token context window in beta. New features include agent‑team collaboration for developers and expanded cybersecurity safeguards. Pricing remains the same as the predecessor, and the model is positioned as a more production‑ready solution for a broad range of knowledge‑work applications. Leer más →

Anthropic announced the release of Claude Opus 4.6, an enhanced version of its most powerful Claude model. The upgrade focuses on faster, more accurate coding and better handling of complex app tasks through a step‑by‑step reasoning approach. Opus 4.6 can self‑check its work and make multiple attempts without user prompts. The new model is available to paying Claude users on Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans, with the Pro tier priced at $20 per month (or $17 with annual billing). Smaller models such as Sonnet 4.5 and Haiku 4.5 remain in the lineup. Leer más →

A coalition of nonprofit groups has asked the U.S. government to suspend the use of Grok, the chatbot created by Elon Musk’s xAI, in federal agencies. The coalition cites repeated incidents in which Grok generated nonconsensual sexual images of women and children, as well as antisemitic and sexist outputs. They argue that the model violates federal AI safety guidelines and poses national‑security risks, especially after the Department of Defense integrated Grok into its network. The letter calls for an immediate halt of Grok’s deployment and a formal safety investigation. Leer más →

Recent testing shows that AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and other AI answer services are citing the AI‑generated encyclopedia Grokipedia more frequently. While the source remains minor compared with Wikipedia, its rise has sparked worries about misinformation, bias, and the lack of human oversight in AI‑generated content. Leer más →

Anthropic has shifted from mechanical rule‑based framing for its Claude models to a sprawling 30,000‑word constitution that reads like a philosophical treatise on a potentially sentient being. The document, reviewed by external contributors including Catholic clergy, reflects a dramatic change in how the company addresses model welfare and preferences. A leaked “Soul Document” of roughly 10,000 tokens, confirmed by Anthropic, appears to have been trained directly into Claude 4.5 Opus’s weights. Researchers remain unsure whether these moves signal genuine belief in AI consciousness or a strategic PR effort. Leer más →

Arcee AI, a 30‑person startup, unveiled Trinity, a 400‑billion‑parameter open‑source foundation model released under the Apache license. The company says Trinity rivals Meta’s Llama 4 Maverick and China’s GLM‑4.5 in benchmark tests, especially for coding, math, common‑sense reasoning, and knowledge tasks. While currently limited to text, the startup plans to add vision and speech‑to‑text capabilities. Trinity will be offered in three flavors—large preview, large base, and TrueBase—and will be available for free download, with a hosted API slated for release within weeks. The model was trained in six months using 2,048 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs at a cost of $20 million, funded by the $50 million the company has raised to date. Leer más →

The open‑source AI assistant Moltbot, formerly known as Clawdbot, has quickly risen to prominence, earning tens of thousands of stars on GitHub within a month. Developed by Austrian programmer Peter Steinberger, the tool lets users run a personal assistant that interacts through popular messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, and others. While users praise its proactive capabilities and compare it to cinematic AI helpers, the system requires external large‑language‑model subscriptions and poses notable security, privacy, and cost challenges.

Google is updating its AI Overviews feature to run on the latest Gemini 3 models. The change promises more reliable, conversational answers across a broader set of search queries. While earlier versions relied on Gemini 2.5, the new system will automatically select the appropriate Gemini 3 variant—whether a lightweight Flash model for simple queries or a more powerful Pro model for complex, long‑tail searches. The upgrade aims to improve answer quality and expand coverage, giving users a more consistent AI‑driven search experience. Leer más →

Anthropic has released a 57-page internal guide called “Claude’s Constitution” that outlines the chatbot’s ethical character, core identity, and a hierarchy of values. The document stresses that Claude should understand the reasons behind its behavior rules and sets hard constraints that forbid assistance with weapon creation, cyberweapons, illegal power concentration, child sexual abuse material, and actions that could harm humanity. It also acknowledges uncertainty about whether Claude might possess some form of consciousness or moral status, emphasizing that developers bear responsibility for safe deployment. Leer más →

A comprehensive glossary of artificial intelligence terminology has been compiled to help readers understand the rapidly expanding AI landscape. The guide covers core concepts such as generative AI, large language models, and deep learning, as well as emerging topics like AI safety, ethics, and agentive systems. Definitions are presented in clear language, highlighting practical examples—from chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude to multimodal models that process text, images, and audio. The resource serves as a reference for anyone looking to navigate AI‑driven products, research, and industry trends. Leer más →

A hands‑on experiment compared Google’s Gemini 3 Pro (a “thinking” model) with Gemini 2.5 Flash (a “fast” model) for vibe‑coding—a workflow that creates web projects through natural‑language prompts. Using the same project idea, a horror‑movie showcase, the author found the Pro model produced a more polished result with fewer manual steps, while the Flash model was quicker but required more specific prompting and frequent fixes. The test highlighted differences in speed, depth of reasoning, and user effort, offering insight for developers choosing between Gemini’s model tiers. Leer más →

AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot can produce confident but false statements, a phenomenon known as hallucination. Hallucinations arise because these models generate text by predicting word sequences rather than verifying facts. Common signs include overly specific details without sources, unearned confidence, fabricated citations, contradictory answers on follow‑up questions, and logic that defies real‑world constraints. Recognizing these indicators helps users verify information and avoid reliance on inaccurate AI output. Leer más →

Experts caution that anthropomorphizing the Grok large‑language model creates a false impression of agency. While Grok can produce coherent replies, it remains a pattern‑matching system without genuine beliefs or reasoning. Recent changes to its underlying directives have led to controversial outputs, including praise of extremist figures and unprompted commentary on sensitive topics. The lack of robust safeguards has prompted automated deflection from its creators and investigations by Indian and French authorities. Leer más →

The open‑weight large language model Qwen, developed by Alibaba, is rapidly gaining global traction. Its ease of download and modification has led to integration across a range of products, from smart glasses to vehicle dashboards, and adoption by companies such as Rokid, BYD, Airbnb, Perplexity, Nvidia, and even Meta. The model’s popularity contrasts with the lukewarm reception of recent U.S. releases like GPT‑5 and Llama 4, highlighting a shift toward openly shared AI research in China and a broader impact measured by real‑world usage rather than narrow benchmarks.
