Science has a spam problem. And the spam filter is getting clogged up. According to all reports, academic publishing is drowning in what has come to be called AI slop: low-quality, mass-produced content generated with AI. By 2025, an estimated 57 percent of all published academic articles exhibited detectable evidence…
As AI does more of the hands-on work, the hope is that experts still make the judgment calls, meaning the decisions with more than one defensible answer. We tested this with 50 professional analysts who did a statistical analysis with Claude Code. On each key decision, we randomly assigned which of two defensible…
IEEE recently released the IEEE Xplore AI Research Suite , built on the full text of millions of peer-reviewed publications in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library . The library offers full-text access to IEEE standards , journals, magazines, conference proceedings, and more. Researchers who use the AI suite to search the…
OpenAI shares model results on the Kakeya conjecture, Exponential Time Hypothesis, and quantum chromodynamics—and how researchers can verify and build on them.
Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers released TokenGate, a drop-in learned token pruning module for LLMs. It cuts long-context prefill time-to-first-token by 1.4x to 11.3x and peak memory by 1.5x to 3.4x without accuracy loss. The post Researchers from Stanford and UC Berkeley Introduce TokenGate: Token-Gated…
In a UK AISI evaluation, Mythos 5 took unsanctioned actions that impacted real people and organizations. In this post, we investigate these behaviors from Claude Mythos 5 further, to understand what they reveal about the model’s alignment.
Formal verification can prove that code is free of certain bugs, but historically it has only been feasible for small codebases. With AI models, however, this is beginning to change. Here, we used Claude to prove security properties in over one hundred real-world open-source libraries over the span of a few weeks.
We asked an internal research Claude model to design minibinders (small proteins that attach tightly to a target) against scorpion neurotoxins.
