Anthropic’s Claude popularity with paying consumers is skyrocketing

Estimates for total Claude consumer users are all over the map (we've seen figures ranging from 18 million to 30 million). Anthropic hasn't disclosed this data, but a spokesperson did tell TechCrunch that Claude paid subscriptions have more than doubled this year.

Why OpenAI killed Sora

Why OpenAI killed Sora

On Tuesday morning, everything was business as usual at OpenAI. By the end of the day, the company had announced that it would scrap its video-generation app, Sora, and reverse plans for video generation inside ChatGPT; it would wind down a $1 billion Disney deal; it would shuffle the role of a high-level executive; and it would raise an additional $10 billion from investors, adding up to more than $120 billion total for its latest funding round. OpenAI is now in a frenzy to turn a profit, or at least lose less money. Since its launch, Sora seems to have taken up a massive amount of compute without the financial return to justify it. Indus … Read the full story at The Verge.

RYS Part 3: LLMs think in geometry, not language — new results across 4 models, including code and math

OK so you know how last time I said LLMs seem to think in a universal language? I went deeper. Part 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rpxpsa/how_i_topped_the_open_llm_leaderboard_using_2x/ Part 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1s1t5ot/rys_ii_repeated_layers_with_qwen35_27b_and_some/ TL;DR for those who (I know) won't read the blog: I expanded the experiment from 2 languages to 8 (EN, ZH, AR, RU, JA, KO, HI, FR) across 4 different models (Qwen3.5-27B, MiniMax M2.5, GLM-4.7, GPT-OSS-120B). All four show the same thing. In the middle layers, a sentence about photosynthesis in Hindi is closer to photosynthesis in Japanese than it is to cooking in Hindi. Language identity basically vanishes. Then I did the harder test: English descriptions, Python functions (single-letter variables only — no cheating), and LaTeX equations for the same concepts. ½mv², 0.5 * m * v ** 2, and "half the mass times velocity squared" converge to the same region in the model's i

New Unsloth Studio Release!

New Unsloth Studio Release!

Hey guys, it's been a week since we launched Unsloth Studio (Beta). Thanks so much for trying it out, the support and feedback! We shipped 50+ new features, updates and fixes. New features / major improvements: Pre-compiled llama.cpp / mamba_ssm binaries for ~1min installs and -50% less size Auto-detection of existing models from LM Studio, Hugging Face etc. 20–30% faster inference, now similar to llama-server / llama.cpp speeds. Tool calling: better parsing, better accuracy, faster execution, no raw tool markup in chat, plus a new Tool Outputs panel and timers. New one line uv install and update commands New Desktop app shortcuts that close properly. Data Recipes now supports macOS, CPU and multi-file uploads. Preliminary AMD support for Linux. Inference token/s reporting fixed so it reflects actual inference speed instead of including startup time. Revamped docs with detailed guides on uninstall, deleting models etc Lots of new settings added including context length, d

Approaches to Analysing Historical Newspapers Using LLMs

Approaches to Analysing Historical Newspapers Using LLMs

arXiv:2603.25051v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study presents a computational analysis of the Slovene historical newspapers \textit{Slovenec} and \textit{Slovenski narod} from the sPeriodika corpus, combining topic modelling, large language model (LLM)-based aspect-level sentiment analysis, entity-graph visualisation, and qualitative discourse analysis to examine how collective identities, political orientations, and national belonging were represented in public discourse at the turn of the twentieth century. Using BERTopic, we identify major thematic patterns and show both shared concerns and clear ideological differences between the two newspapers, reflecting their conservative-Catholic and liberal-progressive orientations. We further evaluate four instruction-following LLMs for targeted sentiment classification in OCR-degraded historical Slovene and select the Slovene-adapted GaMS3-12B-Instruct model as the most suitable for large-scale application, while also documenting imp

ARC-AGI-3: A New Challenge for Frontier Agentic Intelligence

ARC-AGI-3: A New Challenge for Frontier Agentic Intelligence

arXiv:2603.24621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce ARC-AGI-3, an interactive benchmark for studying agentic intelligence through novel, abstract, turn-based environments in which agents must explore, infer goals, build internal models of environment dynamics, and plan effective action sequences without explicit instructions. Like its predecessors ARC-AGI-1 and 2, ARC-AGI-3 focuses entirely on evaluating fluid adaptive efficiency on novel tasks, while avoiding language and external knowledge. ARC-AGI-3 environments only leverage Core Knowledge priors and are difficulty-calibrated via extensive testing with human test-takers. Our testing shows humans can solve 100% of the environments, in contrast to frontier AI systems which, as of March 2026, score below 1%. In this paper, we present the benchmark design, its efficiency-based scoring framework grounded in human action baselines, and the methodology used to construct, validate, and calibrate the environments.

AI #161 Part 1: 80,000 Interviews

The major technical advances this week were in agentic coding, as covered yesterday. The major non-DoW political and alignment developments will be covered tomorrow. The DoW vs. Anthropic trial continues. Judge Lin was very not happy with the government’s case, which makes sense since the government has no case and was arguing a variety of Obvious Nonsense. The question now is how much preliminary relief Anthropic is entitled to. Assuming we find that out this week, I plan to cover that on Monday. Beyond that, we have new iterations of questions we’ve dealt with time and again. The debate on jobs gets another cycle. Anthropic asked over 80,000 people what they think about AI, and has published those findings, nothing shocking but interesting throughout. OpenAI is raising money again, although the terms raise some eyebrows. Elon Musk is announcing a grand chip project, but it was already kind of announced and it’s not like we should believe him when he says such things. I used this

I benchmarked 31 STT models on medical audio — VibeVoice 9B is the new open-source leader at 8.34% WER, but it's big and slow

I benchmarked 31 STT models on medical audio — VibeVoice 9B is the new open-source leader at 8.34% WER, but it's big and slow

TL;DR: v3 of my medical speech-to-text benchmark. 31 models now (up from 26 in v2). Microsoft VibeVoice-ASR 9B takes the open-source crown at 8.34% WER, nearly matching Gemini 2.5 Pro (8.15%). But it's 9B params, needs ~18GB VRAM (ran it on an H100 since I had easy access, but an L4 or similar would work too), and even on H100 it's slow — 97s per file vs 6s for Parakeet. Also found bugs in Whisper's text normalizer that were inflating WER by 2-3% across every model. All code + results are open-source. Previous posts: v1 — 15 models | v2 — 26 models What changed since v2 5 new models added (26 → 31): Microsoft VibeVoice-ASR 9B — new open-source leader (8.34% WER), but needs ~18GB VRAM (won't fit on T4). I ran it on H100 since I had access, but an L4 or A10 would work too. Even on H100 it's slow at 97s/file.
