This is absurd. Palantir tech saves lives. If the NHS can’t interpret its own data well it will continue to deliver substandard care. In Florida, Palantir software has more than halved sepsis deaths. Down 68%. It spots trends early that humans can’t. Abandoning that for ideological reasons is *insane*.

Interesting FT piece with some more detail on Andy Burnham's AI strategy, including a reassessment of driverless cars in London Slightly strange use of the word "headlong" to describe a multi-year process to adopt something that's already commonplace in the US and China

A lot to unpack here. Anthropic is burying some hard truths in careful political language. Some initial reads: 1) Anthropic verifies that none of the jailbreaks provided a capability beyond what many other models, including Chinese models, could do.

Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow. After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests. We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort. Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research. Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

In Sep 2024, I left a job I loved to start @proceptionAI with one obsession: to give robots hands that actually work. 20 months. 20 people in Mountain View. A lot of Coke Zero. Today we ship.

Every piece of advice is a reaction to something that came before. "Validate your idea before you go all-in" was a reaction to MBAs raising millions of dollars based on nothing but a business plan. Today, young builders take that advice and quickly "invalidate" every idea they come up with. Now the missing ingredient is conviction 🤷‍♂️

If Burnham really is engaging David Milliband as foreign secretary then he’s risking being replaced in a year. David Milliband, like Starmer, a serious player. Would be so funny.

You are not bullish enough in starcloud 2 : - Much more power, around 8kw - Bigger and heavier spacecraft with 450kg - More and newer chips, and a bitcoin mining compute - Largest deployable radiator in space - A complete data-center stack, full GPU cluster, persistent storage, and thermal and power systems in a smaller form factor - Real commercial workloads for early customer Crusoe, with partnerships involving Nvidia, AWS, and Google - First orbital data center to be profitable What the starcloud guys did in the last few months is absolutely amazing upward and onward

Just as Starlink provided the cashflow to scale Falcon 9, datacenters in space will fund the Starship build out and the mission to Mars. SpaceX is going to look a lot like an AI infrastructure company for the next few years.

We're excited to announce Christopher Golda (@golda) and Grey Baker (@greybaker) as YC's newest General Partners! Chris co-founded BackType (S08), sold it to Twitter, then built their entire ad business from zero to $1B in revenue. Grey co-founded Dependabot, a developer tool a million engineers rely on every single day— and sold it to GitHub. Then he co-founded Pincites (S23), which was acquired by Filevine. As Visiting Partners, both have already spent multiple batches working closely with founders. Now they're doing it full-time. ycombinator.com/blog/chris-g…

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Yes, Starcloud-1 runs DOOM on its H100. Hardest part of running DOOM in orbit wasn't radiation, thermals, or bandwidth. It was resisting the urge to do this on day one.
