Episode Details

On this episode of Model Behavior, we examine a pivotal week for Anthropic as the company commits a portion of its equity to a public benefit fund while simultaneously proposing its own federal AI safety legislation. We break down the details of Disney's stalking-horse bid for Character.AI assets and the implications of Replit's shift to OpenAI defaults. Additionally, we look at the rare collaboration between Meta and Apple for the Muse Spark model and new research that could fundamentally change our understanding of neural network interpretability. We also cover the latest performance updates from DeepSeek and how these efficient models are pressuring the pricing models of U.S.-based labs.
