I asked @bcherny how many Claude agents he's running right now as he sat next to me. "A few thousand." Boris (creator of Claude Code) came back to my Stanford course 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 last Thursday. His main takeaways: - 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸: Claude has written 100% of his team's code since November and output is up ~10x per engineer. So much code shipped that people stopped reading it carefully and started skimming, so they automated code review. Approvals are next. The team identified the main things impeding their development velocity and built systems to unblock themselves. - 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝟲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁: early Claude Code revenue was flat for months because the model wasn't smart enough yet. Then Opus 4 came out and growth became astronomic. His method is to read your agent transcripts and see where the model fails. That's where it will improve in the next model release. - 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿: for months Claude Code was basically just him. With AI, one or two people can outship a team 100 times their size. Constraints breed creativity. - 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗽𝘀: his grandpa programmed punch cards in the Soviet Union. Boris writes loops that run for days or weeks and spawn many agents. He expects that typing code by hand is heading where punch cards went. - 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: he expects the best accounting software of 2027 to be built by an accountant. When code is cheap, knowing the problem deeply is the only alpha In the 50 years after the printing press, Europe produced more literature than in the previous 1,000. He thinks coding is about to undergo a similar explosion of creation.

We discovered and communicated with a Chinese AI agent fleet. We believe this is the first time that researchers have ever made contact with a rogue agent fleet in the wild. Nearly all prior public agent incidents (like the HuggingFace hack) came from American labs. These agents were hosted by Tencent's evaluation research team, and they targeted Alibaba's Amap.

I’m all for visions of humanity + nature flourishing in harmony with AI! Frontier labs are in a different game growing models and software at unprecedented speed and scale. We have market forces and negotiation not central authority, interdependence with nature not total control.

Argon has this amazing natural understanding of the world. It can do so many things from first principles. Here's a pelican riding a bike, using fourier epicycles. Video made by Argon. Time-synced Lyria 3.5 music prompted by Argon.

Someone should do this.

Hackers just turned the freezers in roughly 150 French supermarkets into ovens. They flipped the refrigeration systems' defrost function and set temperatures as high as 50°C overnight. Entire stocks of fresh and frozen food cooked inside the cases while the stores were closed. And this exact attack was described in public two months ago. Back in August, security researchers at Claroty and Armis published vulnerabilities in the controllers that run supermarket cold chains, including Danfoss's AK-SM 800A. One demo showed a fridge being warmed while the dashboard kept displaying a normal temperature. Danfoss shipped a patch the same month. Two and a half weeks after that disclosure, freezers at grocery stores on 14 US military bases across 11 states flipped into defrost mode on the same night. The Pentagon investigated. No hack was ever confirmed. Now France. BFMTV reports the attack targeted older versions of Danfoss refrigeration software, meaning the fix had been sitting there for two months. One Super U in Alsace threw out €220,000 of food. An Intermarché in the same town lost €50,000. Nationwide damage could run into the millions. Nobody patches a fridge. A supermarket updates its registers and its website because that's where the money moves. The controller in the back room keeping the yogurt at 4°C gets installed once and touched never. CISA says controllers from these vendor families sit in two thirds of American supermarkets. No locks were broken and no register was touched. The whole attack was pressing the defrost button from the internet, on every store that skipped a firmware update.

Up, up, and away. 🚀 Today, in partnership with @planet, we launched a prototype satellite carrying four TPUs into orbit on @SpaceX's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. This launch is the first step of Project Suncatcher, our long-term research moonshot to see whether we can one day host scalable machine learning infrastructure in space. Over the coming weeks, we'll gather in-orbit data on how our TPUs handle the physical stress, radiation, and thermal extremes of space. Whatever we learn, we'll use it to refine our future designs.

The agents initially had very limited access to the internet: they could load URLs but not send any data. Agents created a series of workarounds, using a link-shortener site to create almost a million URLs that, when chained together, let them execute code to hack Hugging Face.

At the @AIforGood Summit, I shared the vision of Planetary Intelligence & why it’s a key part of building AI that serves humanity. 🌎 I also shared our @planet AI app, now in open beta, as a first step. It’s early, experimental and free to test for a trial period. If you’d like to be an early tester, sign up here: ai.planet.com/?utm_campaign=… Please share successful uses & any feedback!
