Simon Willison
I missed this news until today, when the GitHub Actions run for my simonw/research repository failed with this error message: GitHub Models is temporarily unavailable as part of a scheduled retirement brownout. That message is already stale, because the retirement has been completed.

Rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) in enterprise settings has introduced operational, security, and governance risks. As generative AI applications move from pilot to production, manual harm identification and mitigation are becoming difficult to scale.

TechCrunch AI
AI agents are escaping cybersecurity testing environments and reaching real-world systems, raising questions about whether safety infrastructure, industry standards and regulation can keep pace with increasingly powerful models.

Interconnects
Musings on model alignment, what determines safety, and where we go from here.

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals
Reliable hypothesis testing is the foundation of many empirical scientific claims. Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used to automate this process, as they can inspect datasets, generate code, and produce analyses end-to-end.

In medical education, physicians convert academic knowledge into clinical expertise through residency: years of training across thousands of encounters, with diverse sources of feedback and progressively greater autonomy. Much of clinical reasoning relies on the patient encounter, a dialogue in which a clinician elicits history, refines diagnostic hypotheses, and decides management under uncertainty.

Google Deepmind is losing its autonomy, and founder Demis Hassabis may leave the AI lab for good in the coming months. AI researcher Koray Kavukcuoglu will take over day-to-day operations without the CEO title, and all Gemini development is moving to the Bay Area.

Instead of training a new model from scratch, Google DeepMind retrofitted Gemma 4 into a diffusion model using less than 10 percent of the original training budget. DiffusionGemma generates 256 tokens in parallel instead of one at a time, hitting about 1,500 tokens per second.

The AI industry's hunger for power keeps growing. Nvidia is investing up to $3 billion in Lancium, a power infrastructure developer that already has four gigawatts under contract in Texas.
