Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code for Pro, Max, and Team plans

Simon Willison

Anthropic are really confident in Claude Code's auto mode , to the point that they are making it the default setting for new sessions in most Claude Code plans starting on August 14th. This was one of the topics discussed in our Fireside Chat with Cat Wu and Thariq Shihipar at the AI Engineer World’s Fair last month.

AI agents use roughly 600 times more energy than a simple chat prompt

The Decoder

Climate scientist Zeke Hausfather tracked his Claude Code usage over eight weeks: 3.2 billion tokens and about 170 kWh of data center electricity. Per prompt, that's roughly 600 times more than a typical AI chat.

Fields Medalist who published a paper on AI-driven human extinction now works for OpenAI

The Decoder

Newly awarded Fields Medalist Jacob Tsimerman is leaving the University of Toronto to join OpenAI and work on AI safety. In a recent paper, he analyzes scenarios where AI could contribute to human extinction and calls for far more investment in safety research.

QuanTiMedAI: Quantum-Enhanced Time-Series Model guided by Agentic AI for Cardiac Arrest Mortality Prediction

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals

Cardiac arrest remains one of the most lethal conditions encountered in intensive care units. Despite the growing availability of electronic health record data, existing mortality prediction studies in this population largely depend on static summaries derived from early admission.

NeSy-RAG: Neuro-Symbolic RAG for Explainable Question Answering

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves question answering by grounding large language models (LLMs) in external knowledge such as text corpora. However, its reasoning process remains largely opaque: intermediate reasoning steps are difficult to verify and cannot be reliably attributed to specific evidence.
