Anthropic Adds Plugin Evals to Claude Code: 6 Grader Types, a No-Plugin Baseline, and a CI Gate for Skills
Anthropic has published a new plugin evals workflow for Claude Code. The claude plugin eval command runs a plugin against realistic prompts, grades what Claude produced, and compares the result with a run where the plugin is not loaded. It answers 3 questions plugin developers could not previously measure: does the skill trigger, does it […] The post Anthropic Adds Plugin Evals to Claude Code: 6 Grader Types, a No-Plugin Baseline, and a CI Gate for Skills appeared first on MarkTechPost.

An Anthropic researcher’s doomsday warning comes at a very interesting time
An Anthropic researcher resigned this week, warning in a post on X that the company is “racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives”. The company’s own alignment lead even co-signed the message rather than walking it back. It’s the kind of doomer warning the AI industry has flirted with before, but the timing, with Anthropic reportedly preparing for an IPO, makes it land differently. On […]

Ex-Deepmind VP Vinyals says AI self-improvement is coming but won't trigger an intelligence explosion
Oriol Vinyals, until recently head of research at Google DeepMind, thinks a sudden AI intelligence explosion through recursive self-improvement is unlikely. AI can speed up research by a factor of ten, he says, but it hits two bottlenecks: coming up with ideas ("research taste") and reliably judging results. Reward hacking and the speed of light add further limits. Vinyals now wants to tackle these bottlenecks with his startup Discovery Loop, co-founded with Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, and Quoc Le.

3 Highlights from Thomas Kurian’s Keynote at the Goldman Sachs Communicopia & Technology Conference
On Tuesday, September 8, Thomas Kurian participated in the Goldman Sachs Tech Conference, providing an update on Google Cloud’s business and strategy. Here are the highlights:Full Stack Approach: Google Cloud is the only provider to offer solutions across the entire AI stack, which expands our total addressable market, differentiates our products from the point of view of performance, cost and quality; and enables us to diversify our revenue streams as the market grows. We have 17 product lines with more than $1 billion in revenues and our customers on average exceeded their commitments by more than 50%. We have also seen more than 2x quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year growth in the number and value of $100 million to $1 billion deals. And we have more than 300 customers each with $100 million-plus contractual commitments.Benefits of Google Cloud’s AI Infrastructure: Our AI Infrastructure is built on highly differentiated products in a large expanding market which helps us lower cost and improve performance and margins for our AI models. We have a 2-year AI server payback period, and TPUs have a much faster expected payback period than GPUs. The majority of our AI infrastructure total contract value is from committed five-year contracts.Benefits of Google Cloud’s broad AI solutions: We have seen strong adoption of Gemini Enterprise, which provides customers with insight across their businesses in a highly cost efficient manner with enterprise control and governance. We have also seen that Google Cloud customers that use our AI products use 1.8 times as many products as those who do not.For more information, please refer to the slide presentation and transcript from the event.
