Learning more about Claude's mathematical capabilities (6 minute read)
Claude, an AI model by Anthropic, improved the lower bound of zeros satisfying the Riemann hypothesis from 41.6% to 67.2%. Using insights from prior research and attempting 650 ideas, Claude coordinated multiple subagents to run numerical checks and re-prove its finding. Two mathematicians and a formal validation confirmed the result, highlighting AI's unexpected potential in advancing mathematical research.

Exploring Claude/GPT Knowledge Cutoffs & Pre-training Timelines (8 minute read)
It's possible to learn hidden facts about how frontier models were trained by probing them with carefully curated requests. The number of parameters models have can be estimated by scoring them on niche facts. Measuring how models break down tokens can reveal facts about the dataset mixtures used to train the model. Training timelines can be estimated by scoring models on date- or self-identification-related questions.

Are Agents Really Killing UI? (9 minute read)
Agents are shifting software toward hybrid interfaces rather than eliminating UI: products need agent-friendly onboarding, MCP access, and instrumentation alongside human-facing controls. The highest-value screens increasingly handle approval, review, undo, orchestration, and visibility into what agents changed.

A Controlled Study of Attention-Only Transformers (1 minute read)
The feed-forward network (FFN) has been a fixed component of the transformer block since its introduction. In modern decoder configurations, it holds roughly two-thirds of non-embedding parameters. A substantial interpretability literature argues that these layers act as the model's parametric memory. This experiment looks at what is actually lost when the FFN is removed entirely.

Anthropic Tries to Shore Up Investor Confidence Ahead of Blockbuster IPO (6 minute read)
Anthropic is meeting up with investors to offer assurances about its rapid pace of growth and insights into the company's strategies to address growing public backlash against AI. The company must address issues like the recent popularity of cheaper AI systems from China, tensions with the Trump administration, and growing backlash to data-center construction ahead of its IPO. The conversation reflects the tremendous uncertainty around who will win the AI race and the financial stability of the businesses that underpin it. Anthropic is targeting a public debut in September or early October.

Electricity Pricing in the Age of AI (60 minute read)
AI's growing demand highlights power as the real bottleneck, with data center electricity needs doubling every two years. The book explores the intricacies of electricity commodities, emphasizing the central role of independent system operators (ISOs) in managing supply and pricing through marginal cost principles. Economic models like "energy-only markets" and spread trading strategies are key for predicting market movements and securing stable economics in the volatile power markets.
