Anthropic just mass-licensed 10,000 of the most influential developers in the world for $12 per person per month. The math: 10,000 maintainers × $200/month × 6 months = $12M in sticker price. Actual compute cost to serve these accounts runs closer to $30-50/month each, meaning

RT Boaz Barak Some thoughts (long tweet.. sorry). I would prefer if we focused first on using AI in science, healthcare, education and even just making money, than the military or law enforcement. I am no pacifist, but too many times national security has been used as an excuse to take people's freedoms (see patriot act). I am very worried about governments using AI to spy on their own people and consolidate power. I also think our current AI systems are nowhere nearly reliable enough to be used in autonomous lethal weapons. I would have preferred to take it slower with classified deployment, but if we are going to do it, it is crucial that we maintain the red lines of no domestic surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons. These are widely held positions, and codified in laws and regulations. They should be stipulated in any agreement, and (more importantly) verified via technical means. I think the terms of this agreement, as I understand them, are in line with these principles, that are also held by other AI companies too. I hope the DoW will offer them the same conditions. Regardless, a healthy AI industry is crucial for U.S. leadership. Whether or not relations have soured, there is zero justification to treat Anthropic - a leading American AI company whose founders are deeply patriotic and care very much about U.S. success - worse than the companies of our adversaries. It appears to me that much of this week's drama has been more about style and emotions than about substance. I hope that people can put this behind them, and come together for the benefit of our country. Original tweet: https://x.com/boazbaraktcs/status/2027615753248059440
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of

View quoted postRT Nick Turley ChatGPT just crossed 900M weekly users and 50M paying subscribers. The part I love most is seeing how differently people use it. For a lot of people, ChatGPT is where they start with AI – writing, building, doing research, planning trips, shopping, or getting tasks done. As more people use ChatGPT, we learn faster too. That shows up in the product: quicker responses, better reliability, and answers that feel more natural. Thanks for helping us continue to make ChatGPT even better.

RT Mitchell Hashimoto I know this is pretty well established at this point, but Codex 5.3 is a much more effective model than Opus 4.6.

We now recommend reporting SWE-bench Pro and are sharing more detail on why we’re no longer reporting SWE-bench Verified as we work with the industry to establish stronger coding eval standards.

I’ve recently joined @openai to work with @romainhuet on @OpenAIDevs Now is the year of dogged pursuits But Back in 2021 i thought my technical career was over. I had chronic hand pain in both my hands and could barely tie my shoes let alone use my phone or write code. I spent a few years not thinking about what it mean for the value of my labor to go zero but to not being able to produce any labor at all… I gave up bjj. Pottery. Tech. Etc. Then, that one company that solved dota and hide and seek released chatgpt and whisper and all of a sudden with dictation and some determination I could write essays, build things, and make a living from twitter meeting great people like @eugeneyalt @dmdohan @humford @GEVS94 for my reintegration into the tech world after so many years away. From Canada advised companies for free until I had to ask them to pay me. I charged companies until I figured out pricing and asked for enough that I became an investor as well. I started a consulting business and a course business. Learning alongside @HamelHusain and @vig_xyz But through that time I learned a lot about running a business and felt like I’d stopping learning about everything else. I realized that last summer that I wanted to wrap things up and go somewhere and just get involved and be at the center of it all.
