Anthropic's updated usage policy explicitly prohibits users from repeatedly abusing Claude in extreme cases, though ordinary frustration and criticism are still allowed. The new rules also address election interference, deceptive campaigns, weapons software, and surveillance.

Google is turning Gemini into an AI agent that can plan, execute tasks, and work across business apps and systems. The agent can delegate work to subagents, use multiple AI models, and even gets its own workplace identity, complete with an email address.

It had previously been reported that the AI lab's annualized revenue was some $70 billion, but a new report claims it's a whole lot less than that.

The company behind the popular LMArena leaderboard has raised $200 million led by Lightspeed and Khosla, and is now measuring AI models on alignment issues such as lying.

Ben Affleck is going viral for his deep knowledge of AI, from neural networks and transformers to open weights. The actor, who sold his AI filmmaking startup to Netflix earlier this year, is proving he's more than just a Hollywood star.

A fictionalized Sam Bankman-Fried is coming to your TV screen on November 19.

I kept rebuilding the same failure: five agents in one chat window, no memory of what was blocked, and a "done" that nobody had checked. Better prompts did not fix it. A bigger model did not fix it either. Structure did. A company has a board, roles with defined handoffs, a gate before anything ships, and a budget someone is actually watching. So I wrote that scaffolding down as code instead of vibes: four Python modules, standard library only, plus a five-role roster and a demo you can run o...

I built a GPU transfer-learning workflow for 104-class flower recognition and tried to report it honestly, including the gap between validation and held-out test scores. Repo: https://github.com/officialpm/flower-classification This is an evaluated model workflow, not a deployed flower-identification product. The approach Verify TFRecord feature names, counts and that all 104 classes appear in training and validation. Load an ImageNet-pretrained Efficien...

Hi, I’m Sakshi Yadav. I’m a 3rd-year B.Tech Computer Science student at Gyan Ganga Institute of Technology and Science, Jabalpur. I’m interested in software development and currently improving my skills in C++, JavaScript, and DSA. I’m a quick learner, enjoy connecting with people, and I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, build projects, and grow as a software engineer.

This week I built my first landing card UI using only HTML and CSS, and it taught me more than I expected about the basics. I started with a simple card containing a heading, a short paragraph, and a button, and tried to make it look clean on both a laptop and a phone screen. The first lesson was structure. Using semantic HTML helped a lot: a main section for the page, a heading in the right order, and a real button element instead of a styled div. When the structure was clear, the CSS became...

TL;DR: Moderate an edtech avatar at upload, publish a new opaque asset key only after approval, and replace the profile reference with a tombstone before deleting bytes. On-demand processing is the runner-up for private drafts and rarely viewed images. A versioned URL prevents a replacement from colliding with an older representation; it does not, by itself, make an already shared URL stop loading. Decision Upload-time processing On-demand processing Before an avatar goes...

This week a five-ticker cash-flow check here on DEV came back without Ford's 2025 row. The data was there; the tag wasn't. Ford's 2025 10-K reports the year's result as ProfitLoss and never uses us-gaap:NetIncomeLoss , so a pipeline that asks for NetIncomeLoss sees Ford's annual figures stop at 2024. I wanted to know how common that is, so I checked every SEC filer. I build Equibles , which serves these SEC facts to ChatGPT and Claude over MCP, but everything below uses only SEC's fre...

The whole system on one page. Keep it open; we'll walk through every box. Picture a typical web shop. One team owns the product catalog, another owns orders, a third owns user profiles. In the beginning, everyone works in one frontend and one backend. It's simple, and that's fine. Then the company grows. Ten developers become fifty. Every release needs everyone to agree. A small bug on the profile page blocks the orders team from shipping. A routine library upgrade turns into a three-week...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Field Notes is a minimal doodle-themed outdoor prompt deck for people who want to get off their screens without turning “go outside” into another productivity task. Tap draw a field note to get a tiny observation prompt. There is also a try local Gemma button that generates a fresh prompt when Gemma is running locally. When it is not, the offline deck takes over immedi...

Even though I can build and maintain websites from scratch and have done it in the past (before Gatsby Cloud was merged in with Netlify and GitHub decided to suspend my account [ this is another story ]). This time, I just wanted a place to write things upon without spending additional time on managing stuff. Yes, customising a site deign could be fun and I could just write on Medium. But, after the recent experience with GitHub, I wanted a better control over ownership of the posts and need ...

Someone is using a poem on GitHub to coordinate a cryptomining botnet called PoeLLM, according to Lumen's Black Lotus Labs . Gamers, if you read that as "PoE" and thought of Path of Exile, there is some currency farming involved, but it's at the server owner's expense. Once installed on a compromised server, the malware translates selected words from the poem into an IP address. By editing those words, its operator can point infected machines to another command-and-control server. The com...

English is the invisible gatekeeper of programming. Before you write your first if , you already need to read English. For 6 billion people, that's not a feature — it's a wall. Two years ago I started asking a simple question: what if programming keywords existed natively in the learner's mother tongue? The answer became NexusLang — an open-source, self-contained programming language where you write agar instead of if in Urdu, eğer in Turkish, si in Spanish. The compiler bridg...

Jev is a brilliant decision model. Gemini Flash-Lite is the cheap model nobody talks about. Here's what we measured picking between them, and why the pair is the cheapest setup of all. Jev is the most hyped model right now. TypeSafe's decision model doesn't chat and doesn't write. It reads some text and a list of options and returns calibrated probabilities over those options. A few hundred milliseconds, for almost nothing. Every feed I read has a post about it. We had a real job f...

Autoformalisation is increasingly used to verify mathematical texts, including those generated by AI, as in OpenAI's announced proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. In this process, an AI system translates the text from a natural language (NL) into a formal language such as Lean. Once this translation is done, the argument expressed in the formal language can easily be mechanically verified. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate why this process may offer no confi...

Creating system architecture design diagrams is an important part of technical documentation. As system complexity grows, clarity within teams becomes even more important. But creating diagrams from s

Amazon is rumored to be making a smartphone, and the Alexa-powered experiences on its new tablets give us a taste of what might come if that happens.

The three new aluminum Alexa Tablets now run Android with full access to the Google Play Store. There are versions for kids too.

Alongside its new collection of Alexa Tablets that run Android with full access to the Google Play store, Amazon is introducing kid versions with similar functionality but the ability for parents to limit what software and content they have access to. The Amazon Kids Tablets also come with two different styles of colorful cases featuring […]

At the New York Film Festival premiere of Artificial, Luca Guadagnino's satirical Sam Altman biopic, the director said onstage that "[when] someone wants to play God, that's very interesting to me." The idea of playing God, and power in general - who has it, who desperately wants it, and who will do anything to get […]

My Decoder guest today is Hayden Field, The Verge’s senior AI reporter, and we’re discussing the new wave of consumer-friendly AI agents. If you’ve been paying attention to this space, you know AI enthusiasts have been using agents for a minute now — homebrew OpenClaw setups led to a surge in Mac Mini sales earlier […]

Of all the things Alexa Plus can do, I never expected it to make me cry. Since my son left for college, the Echo Show in my office has been making then-and-now photo montages: the toddler with his first tennis racket next to the captain of his varsity team; me hugging him as a tween […]

After resurrecting iconic consoles like the 2600 and Mattel's Intellivision, Atari is relaunching one of the brand's personal computers that originally debuted 43 years ago. The 800XL is a faithful recreation of the all-in-one 8-bit PC that's being resurrected as part of a collaboration with game developer and publisher Plaion. While most retro enthusiasts will […]

Google is launching a "universal" Gemini AI agent that can work across apps and devices in the background. The tool, announced as part of the Gemini at Work event on Thursday, will be available within the Gemini Enterprise app, allowing users to chat with the Gemini agent and assign it tasks from a single interface.
