For several weeks, a growing chorus of developers and AI power users claimed that Anthropic’s flagship models were losing their edge. Users across GitHub, X, and Reddit reported a phenomenon they described as "AI shrinkflation"—a perceived degradation where Claude seemed less capable of sustained reasoning, more prone to hallucinations, and increasingly wasteful with tokens. Critics pointed to a measurable shift in behavior, alleging that the model had moved from a "research-first" approach to a lazier, "ed

In 1901, sponge divers sheltering from a storm off the Greek island of Antikythera surfaced with a corroded bronze lump that sat in an Athens museum for decades before anyone realised it was a 2,000-year-old geared computer that could predict eclipses and track the Olympic Games

The Antikythera mechanism spent 2,000 years on the seabed and another 50 in a museum drawer before X-rays revealed it was a hand-cranked bronze computer that predicted eclipses, modelled the Moon's elliptical orbit, and tracked the schedule of the ancient Olympic Games. Read more

One of the assumptions behind today’s AI frameworks is that agents require a “boss” at the center; this orchestrator runs the show, routes requests, and makes sure the whole system doesn’t descend into chaos. That assumption may be wrong, and the cost of carrying it could be measured in inference dollars and coordination latency. A new Stanford framework called a decentralized language model, or DeLM, is built on the premise... Read more

Imagine your engineering team just deployed an AI agent to search through internal company documents and answer employee questions. It works perfectly in development, but in production, it consistently hallucinates or misses key constraints. Fixing this is rarely a simple patch. It requires a tedious, trial-and-error process of tweaking chunking strategies, retrieval methods, and system prompts simultaneously. Because these adjustments are entangled, it becomes nearly impossible to attribute which specific. Read more
