> Tibo: “Plan is to bring together best of both Chat / Work capabilities together at some point this year, but we’re going to proceed carefully here and take our time.”

Anthropic introduced self-assessment, a new technique that lets Claude give each conversation a preliminary safety assessment right after it responds.
> On Claude Fable 5, self-assessment flags 78% of the conversations that a stronger, prompted classifier flags as potentially harmful, and 94% of the high-priority ones, at a 1% false-positive rate.
Anthropic also shed light on how self-assessment and prompted classifiers help block attacks.
> "Each successful attack costs roughly four times as many generated tokens as with no safeguards."
We already live in a world where your security depends on the compute allocated to defend the systems you rely on.

Google killed Jules AI agent 💀
Its planned functionalities are about to arrive to Antigravity instead.
Antigravity already has some traces of a new “Chief of Staff” agent spotted earlier.
I feel like it was unfortunate that Jules v2 got planned at a moment when AI super apps emerged and Google had to fight back with Codex.
