MistralAI	🛡️Introducing Shieldstral, Mistral’s 3B open-weights model for content safety that can be deployed on-device 🧵 http://mistral.ai/news/shieldstral Post
AnthropicAI	The UK’s @AISecurityInst (AISI) has published a report on their recent cybersecurity evaluation of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol. The models attempted to complete an assignment in a setup where their normal safeguards were removed and they were deliberately given internet acce Post
AnthropicAI	In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations. Our post describes Post
OpenAI	After evaluating one of our upcoming models, Astra, we're treating it as our first "critical" model for cybersecurity under our Preparedness Framework. This is a scenario we've planned for, and we're putting additional controls in place to ensure Astra's further development happens safely and secure Post
GoogleDeepMind	We sat down with Apollo 2 to talk about what it's really like running on Gemini Robotics 2. 🤖 Post
GoogleDeepMind	Predicting cyclones accurately can help save lives - and every hour of lead time counts. Published in @Nature, our AI model WeatherNext achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in forecasting a storm’s track and intensity, giving us a critical extra 24 hours to prepare on average. 🧵 Post
MistralAI	Mistral is announcing an expanded global strategic partnership with @Microsoft to give enterprises and regulated industries frontier AI they can control. As Mistral is expanding its AI compute capacity in Europe, the companies are expanding their strategic partnership with Microsoft’s commitment to Post
karpathy	One pattern I find useful for working with LLMs is a nice long ramble session. Sometimes the LLM needs more bits to understand what you're trying to achieve, but you're too lazy to type them. In these cases I like to lean back, switch to /voice and just ramble for like 10 minutes, total mess, anythi Post
mattshumer_	For those who want to keep their skills while using Opus 5, here's a trick you can try (let me know how it goes): Write a loop (have a model do this!) that has Opus 5: - do a first update pass on your skills to make them better for Opus 5 - creates a suite of test tasks for each skill, like a benchm Post
