[AI DAILY NEWS RUNDOWN]
AI is starting to improve AI. Who holds the off switch? Anthropic's revised IPO filing says its next models could soon pass its own safety line, and MIT showed one AI fixing another without training. Plus: AI on the midterm ballot.
In this episode:
- Anthropic's warning: upcoming models could "imminently" pass its threshold for self-improving AI; none has yet.
- MIT: GPT-6 Astra edited 0.016% of a small model's weights and its math score jumped from 7.9% to 48.1%.
- The reality check: OpenAI's LifeVal stalls; the best agent scores 12% on SemiAnalysis's GDPx.
- The off switch: CrowdStrike's AI Kill Switch, "sovereign agents," and Nvidia's 51% rule for China.
- AI on the ballot: $400M+ from Musk and $50M+ from AI super PACs.
- The money: Anthropic's pay-as-you-go revenue against multi-year compute bills.
- Cert Corner: how do you reliably stop an AI agent? Answer at the end.
Also today:
- OpenAI signs four deals in Abu Dhabi.
- Palantir's commercial revenue passes government.
