AIAdo Kukic, who works at Anthropic, says he had his most productive coding day of the year so far on the weekend after Opus 5.5 launched. The post gives no details on the tasks, measured output, or specific features he used.
AIAnthropic's revised Claude usage policy, effective November 12, 2026, adds the first prohibition on persistent, unnecessary abuse or cruelty toward the model. Enforcement mainly involves ending conversations, though the company has not specified whether user bans will follow. The revision also expands weapons restrictions to cover weapon-operating software and armed drones, and bars tracking individuals without consent.
AIMiniMax says its open-source H3 model is almost on par with closed-source state-of-the-art video world models on physics. The claim is supported by a quoted benchmark, World Models' Last Exam in Physics, where eight leading models scored at most 57.76/100 across 40 physics tasks, and free-fall videos averaged only 26.61/100 on composite scores.
AIThree OpenAI safety researchers, Tomek Korbak, Mikita Balesni and Jasmine Wang, say they were fired last week for prioritizing safety over OpenAI's corporate interests, and published a letter to leadership.

AIGoogle published a prospective study of AMIE, a research conversational system that patients chat with before doctor appointments, in The Lancet with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Clinicians reported the summaries helped them prepare for visits in 75% of cases and influenced their approach to care in more than half. AMIE's differential diagnoses matched the doctors' final diagnoses 90% of the time.
Why it matters: The study tests a patient-facing diagnostic chat system in a real urgent care clinic, a setting that goes beyond lab evaluation and is useful for judging clinical readiness.
AIA clinical trial found that nearly 100 patients discussed their symptoms with Google's AMIE chatbot before meeting physicians. The source text provides no further details on the trial's results or outcomes.
