Why Aren’t We Measuring How AI Affects Humans?
…The missing question about AI model performance In your essay, you argue that we’ve become very good at measuring what AI systems can do, but bad at measuring what they do…

DAIMON Robotics Wants to Give Robot Hands a Sense of Touch
…states so that robots can guide their hands and fingers to perform reliable manipulation. Without tactile sensing, robots are severely limited. They struggle to locate objects in dark environments, and without slip…
Orbital Bets On a Mesh Of GPU Satellites for AI Inference
…semiconductor device modeling, raised similar concerns. Deploying thousands of satellites, Dr. Verma says, increases failure risk with limited repair options. He added that operational feasibility depends on the applications performed on the…
Why AI Needs a "Genie Coefficient"
…It measures their behavior as they perform real tasks long after the model is trained, not just during development. It also recognizes that genie-like behavior is a property of the harness…
Stanford's AI Index for 2026 Shows the State of the Industry
…model often scores well in other benchmarks. (As previously mentioned, Claude Opus 4.6 delivered top-notch scores in Humanity’s Last Exam.) Of course, LLMs will rarely be asked to perform…
Inside ELIZA’s Source Code and Its Multiple Personalities
…The script that most people conflate with the program ELIZA was actually called Doctor, which performed the role of a psychotherapist. Yet, like a modern chatbot prompted to behave with different personalities…
Why Quantum Computers Need a ‘Healthy Chunk’ Of Classical Power
…key parameters drift over time, gradually degrading performance. Q-CTRL’s software performs “runtime recalibration” to nudge things back into place, but there’s a limit to how much on-the-fly…
Mars Rover Sets Self-Driving Record
…In December, NASA engineers performed the first test of a navigation technique that uses a model based on Anthropic’s AI to analyze MRO images and generate waypoints—the coordinates used to…
The FPGA Milestone That Let Engineers Rewrite Chips Like Software
…Solving computing’s flexibility-performance tradeoff FPGAs emerged in the 1980s to address a core limitation in computing. A microprocessor executes software instructions sequentially, making it flexible but sometimes too slow for…
Claude Mythos Finds Zero-Days—But Rust Quietly Shuts The Door
…But while large language models present a real cyberthreat, they also provide an opportunity to reinforce cyberdefenses. Anthropic reports its Claude Mythos preview model has already helped defenders preemptively discover over a…
