Confidence is persuasive. In artificial intelligence systems, it is often misleading.Today’s most capable reasoning models share a trait with the loudest voice in the room: They deliver every answer with the same unshakable certainty, whether they’re right or guessing. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have now traced that overconfidence to a specific flaw in how these models are trained, and developed a method that fixes it without giving up any accuracy.The technique, called RLCR (Reinforcement Learning with Calibration Rewards), trains language models to produce calibrated confidence estimates alongside their answers. In addition to coming up…

How powerful is AI? Enough that Anthropic, a leading AI company, announced earlier this month that its latest AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, would be available only to a limited number of businesses due to security concerns — at least for now.Claude Mythos Preview was designed for general use, Anthropic says, but during testing, the company found it extremely effective at identifying vulnerabilities in the security systems of all types of software, creating potentially massive security concerns.So far, Anthropic is sharing the Mythos Preview model with a handful of major tech companies and banks through a program called Project Glasswing,…

Every enterprise faces an imminent reckoning with agentic AI, but the transformation is too large and too complex for any single organization to navigate alone. The race is now on to build the ecosystems, skills and infrastructure necessary to bring about the agentic enterprise.

$60 billion for a coding tool? SpaceX is eyeing a massive takeover of Cursor AI. Musk is building an AI empire, and your IDE is the new battleground. Read why.

Looking back at this milestone video, it’s the audience question towards the end I liked most: “are you happy”? Charlotte and I have chosen a path that’s non-traditional, intense and at times, pretty stressful. There’s no clear delineation of when work starts and ends, no holidays where we don’t work, nor weekends, birthdays or Christmases. But we do so on our terms. It gives us a life of means and choices, one with excitement and adventure, and, above all, one with purpose, where we feel like we’re doing something that makes a meaningful difference. I hope you enjoy this week’s…
