Applied AIPerplexity trusts GPT-6 Astra with end-to-end systems
If Perplexity is letting Astra change code and touch production with less human oversight, the bar for "deployable autonomy" in software ops just moved. Teams still gating models to low-risk copilots should start scoping where they’d be comfortable with end-to-end execution plus spot checks, not line-by-line review.
Applied AITrump’s former AI czar tells Anthropic and OpenAI to slow down, and to stop asking for anything in return
If frontier labs want to pace capabilities without triggering a regulatory clampdown, they may have to accept ordinary product liability and competition law instead of bespoke regimes. For operators, assume a world where AI risk is handled through existing legal tools — not a new licensing authority — and price that liability into deployments.
Applied AIAnthropic 'formalizes' Fermat's Last Theorem like never before using Claude — but it still took 11 days to write out
Thirteen million lines of Lean in 11 days is a proof-of-concept that LLMs can brute-force formalization, but also a reminder that verification-scale, not cleverness, is the constraint. If your domain has a formal language — contracts, specs, compliance rules — start testing AI for translation and checking, not just summarization.
Applied AIJeffries Says Democrats to Meet Tuesday on AI Action: ABC News
A dedicated House Democratic caucus on AI means policy risk is moving from op-eds to whip counts. If you have material AI exposure, you want talking points, impact estimates, and a regulatory wish list ready before draft text starts circulating.
