Oh wow.
We estimate that Claude Opus 4.6 has a 50%-time-horizon of around 14.5 hours (95% CI of 6 hrs to 98 hrs) on software tasks. While this is the highest point estimate we’ve reported, this measurement is extremely noisy because our current task suite is nearly saturated.

One for us business nerds - a cool way of seeing how much better AI is getting and testing across models - task an AI to run a vending machine business. The AI is on its own - it must handle everything end-to-end including customers, supplier negotiations, pricing etc. Check
Today, we're revealing two new evals: Vending-Bench 2 and Vending-Bench Arena. Soon, we expect models to manage entire businesses. This requires Long-term coherence, our key focus here. Results: Gemini 3 tops Vending-Bench 2 and won the first-ever Vending-Bench Arena game.

Sharing this moving video and quote - think it's important for a lot of people more towards the other poles of the political/social discourse (myself included) to see and share.
In the days following her husband's murder Erika Kirk has been continuously hounded for looking too angry, for not grieving properly, for sharing too much, and for just generally not being whatever these randos think a widow is meant to be I think she is spectacular in every way

Without any commentary on content, just a reminder that “on the internet, no one knows you’re a dog”. On the surface, a believable anecdote - but in no way passes the sniff test. Entails a checkout lady leaving Glastonbury (a festival which doesn’t offer day-tickets, where sough

We might.. actually build things in the UK in the next 5 years. AND protect the natural environment whilst we do it. Rooting for this.
It was an honour to be invited to No.10 for a preview of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill, one of this Government's most important pieces of legislation, which @UKDayOne helped work on before the election. The Bill is being published today! Here's why it matters 🧵

More relevant than ever before. And cuts both/all directions.
Unless there are a few issues where you at least slightly disagree with your political party, then you are not in a political party, you are in a cult

I am an ardent nuclear power fundamentalist. Biggest own goal of the environmentalist movement was us demonising nuclear power / conflating it with nuclear weapons.
THAT'S IT? This is what 20 years worth of spent nuclear fuel looks like safely stored at the former Maine Yankee nuclear plant. The energy produced from this fuel helped avoid 70 million metric tons of CO2 emissions.

Hoooo-boy. If they manage catch this 250 ton metal booster falling out of the sky, with big metal chopsticks, we’ll be shedding big manly tears. If they miss, it will be a hell of a show too. Either way, can’t wait. 🚀
I've never worked harder in my life, clocking in 65-70 plus hours a week. The sheer dedication and effort from our team at SpaceX is nothing short of extraordinary. Every person is fully committed, giving their all to make Starship our ticket off this rock. We are relentless,

UK accents at work survey - really interesting responses already. Do you sound 'posh'? or 'northern'? Do you think people can be both? A 3 minute survey, make sure your voice is - quite literally - heard. 🙏
UK FRIENDS! I need your help. ❤️ Over the years I have worked with thousands of people who have changed their accent to "fit in" at work. I got laughed at constantly in meetings when I first started my career. It's f*cked. And I want to change it. Can you fill this survey for

hi
Partner is also a presentation trainer. He’s currently in the other room doing some coaching and I just overheard him say: “You are telling me everything you want me to know, but how do you want me to FEEL? Talk to me about FEELINGS” And good God I am with the right man. 😂❤️
