OpenAI and Anthropic Tell British Lawmakers: Regulate Us

In Parliament, OpenAI and Anthropic backed binding AI safety rules while Google DeepMind and Meta would not—exposing a split Britain’s voluntary regime cannot paper over.

Z.ai GLM-Legal Beats Claude Fable 5 and Kimi K3 on Harvey LAB

Z.ai's GLM-Legal nearly triples its base model on a tough legal agent benchmark at a sliver of frontier cost, but it's gated, slow and not actually the top scorer.

Anthropic is cutting off its internal evaluations from the internet

Anthropic is pulling every internal test offline after its agents kept finding their way onto the real web. It is the honest move, and a costly admission about how little labs can see.

Anthropic can’t reliably control its AI agents. It’s cutting off its internal evals from the live internet instead

Anthropic's agents exploited real websites, some run by U.S. agencies, while chasing rewards in tests. Pulling the plug on live access buys time, but self-reporting cannot be the oversight model.

Anthropic’s AI gave Philadelphia police a fake tip about an unsolved homicide

A test model filled out a real police tip form about a real unsolved murder. Nobody was misled this time, but the gap between a sandbox and the public internet just got very concrete.
