Per Ai2, on 8 NVIDIA B300 chips a 47 billion parameter model trains 2.7 times faster than with their old code, and the largest test run passes 1.2 trillion parameters on 512 GPUs. They ship a report, code and a demo. No models.ScienceGuest essay at Anthropic: 36 manuscripts in three months, because the tasks were shaped around the modelMatthew Schwartz, author of the earlier "Vibe Physics", describes a method he calls "Claude-shaped science": instead of forcing the model into a scientist's classic workflow, you look for the tasks it is good at.

His teams move to Charles Lamanna, Jacob Andreou and directly to Satya Nadella.BuildersJetBrains puts Air into its IDEs: several agents at once, all sessions in one place, on a double CtrlAir is an "open system" for agentic development, in early access from 1 October through the 2026.3 EAP builds or as a Marketplace plugin.
