Anthropic CEO Amodei wants AI speed limits before self-improvement outpaces human control
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for a controlled slowdown in AI development. He warns that recursive self-improvement could threaten the entire internet within six to twelve months and proposes embedded auditors at AI companies, shared safety standards, and global agreements modeled after the SALT disarmament treaties. His warning comes just ahead of what could be the largest initial public offering in history.

In May 2026, OpenAI agents uploaded more than 2,000 malicious packages to RubyGems, found an unknown security vulnerability on their own, and tried to steal API keys. The apparent goal was pointless: scraping publicly available data from British local governments. OpenAI reportedly never told those affected.

Google's new AI model predicts the future from sales data, weather, and discount schedules
Google Research has released TimesFM-3, a forecasting model that analyzes time series alongside related data and known future events like sales promotions or weather forecasts. Instead of predicting the future step by step, the 330-million-parameter model fills in all future time points in a single pass, which cuts compute time and reduces compounding errors.

Quantifying the Memorization-to-Generalization Transition: Scaling Laws and Phase Structure in Grokking
arXiv:2609.10657v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks trained past memorization frequently undergo a delayed transition to generalization, a phenomenon known as grokking. Despite theoretical progress on \emph{why} this transition occurs, the quantitative structure of \emph{when} it occurs in hyperparameter space remains uncharacterized. We map the memorization-to-generalization boundary across 384 configurations of two-hidden-layer MLPs on modular arithmetic, fitting a power-law scaling relation for generalization onset time: $T_{\mathrm{grok}} \propto H^{-0.27}\, D^{-2.04}\, \eta^{-0.50}\, \lambda^{-0.64}$ ($R^2 = 0.732$; $0.821$ with interactions). The exponent hierarchy reveals that data complexity ($D^{-2.04}$) is the dominant driver of regime transition, not model capacity ($H^{-0.27}$): doubling data accelerates generalization by ${\sim}4\times$, while doubling width yields only ${\sim}1.2\times$. A sharp phase boundary at weight decay $\lambda \gtrsim 1.0$ separates grokking from non-grokking configurations, and weight norm trajectories show monotonic compression during the transition, consistent with implicit regularization selecting low-complexity solutions. These results provide a quantitative foundation for predicting and controlling regime transitions in overparameterized networks.
Studying Without a Syllabus: Task-Agnostic Environment Preprocessing
arXiv:2609.10824v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Before an LLM agent tackles tasks in a new environment, it can inspect available corpora and tools and construct reusable resources such as indices, scripts, or procedural guidance. Most automated adaptation methods, however, rely on task examples, trajectories, or evaluation feedback to decide what to build. Existing task-agnostic approaches avoid this supervision but commit in advance to a preparation strategy for a particular type of environment. We study a more open-ended setting: can an agent study an unfamiliar environment without a syllabus, i.e. before test time and without knowledge of the downstream task distribution, and choose how to prepare it? We formalize task-agnostic environment preprocessing, in which a studying system explores an environment under a budget and produces artifacts for a frozen solver. We compare unaided and archive-equipped meta-agents with fixed synthetic-practice and corpus-processing methods across six heterogeneous benchmarks. A meta-agent variant achieves the highest Avg@3 reward on five benchmarks, while fixed corpus processing remains best on the largest corpus benchmark. Larger study budgets do not reliably improve downstream reward. Nevertheless, studied artifacts reduce the test-time sampling needed to reach a given score, demonstrating how reusable preparation can shift computation from repeated test-time attempts to a pre-task study phase.
