In November 2025, Anthropic, known to its employees as Ant, trained a model called Claude Opus 4.5 on warehouses of liquid-cooled processors, and on the day the worker ants released it, machines became agentic. That is to say, they no longer needed handholding. Before November, the machines had felt like eight-year-olds: eager, literal-minded, completing your sentences, getting it nearly ...

Python 3.15's Ultra-Low Overhead Interpreter Profiling Mode – Ken Jin's Blog

Python's 3.15 JIT compiler uses a new form of interpreter profiling that records execution through the interpreter for JIT compilation with low overhead. This approach allows for efficient profiling of the interpreter, with a maximum slowdown of 4.5x for a toy benchmark, compared to 900x-1000x for other tracing systems like PyPy.

Apple Defeats Liability for Not Scanning iCloud for CSAM

This case involves Apple’s handling of user-uploaded files hosted in private iCloud storage. Instead of adopting PhotoDNA to scan hosted files for CSAM, Apple created its own proprietary alternative, NeuralHash, which apparently wasn’t as good. So Apple U-turned on its efforts to scan for CSAM in its cloud storage. Instead, Apple implemented end-to-end encryption for iCloud files. Apple’s ...

Claude Is Not a Compiler

In early 2025, I wrote Is Claude a Compiler? At the time, my answer was: I don’t know. I’m now pretty sure the answer is “no, that’s a category error, it’s better than a compiler.” But this requires a bit of unpacking. Computer programs are notoriously intricate and finicky. A program operates at an extreme level of precision. There is no “wave hands” CPU instruction. High-level goals, ...

Who's afraid of Chinese models?

The author argues that the reaction to Chinese open weight models is overblown, as they are not necessarily cheaper to serve on a marginal cost basis, but rather are benefiting from a lack of compute and a price umbrella. The author suggests that the US should pass a law to make distillation of models fair use and to loosen restrictions on using frontier labs' models for cybersecurity, to ...
