In November, we outlined our approach to deprecating and preserving older Claude models. We noted we were exploring keeping certain models available to the public post-retirement, and giving past models a way to pursue their interests. With Claude Opus 3, we’re doing both.

AI Breakthrough: Aletheia Solves Mathematical and Scientific Discovery Problems
By
–
For more information about Aletheia, powered by Gemini #DeepThink, and our works in AI for mathematical and scientific discovery at @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleResearch, check out our announcement last week nitter.net/lmthang/status/2021631…! Thang Luong (@lmthang) 6 months in, after the IMO-gold achievement, I’m very excited to share another important milestone: AI can help accelerate knowledge discovery in mathematics, physics, and computer science! We’re sharing Two new papers from @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleResearch that explore how Gemini #DeepThink together with agentic workflows can empower mathematicians and scientists to tackle professional research problems. Some highlights: The first paper built a research agent #Aletheia, powered by an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think, that can autonomously produce publishable math research and crack open Erdős problems. The second paper, built on similar agentic reasoning ideas, helped resolve bottlenecks in 18 research problems, across algorithms, ML and combinatorial optimization, information theory and economics. See the thread for details about the two papers and the joint blog post. — https://nitter.net/lmthang/status/2021631397614731563#m

Apple failed with Siri on accents, language switching, and context

This is why I think Apple fucked up with Siri, big time.

They had every resource to fix Siri.
They just… didn’t.
If you have an accent or switch between languages, forget it. If you want it to actually understand what context you’re talking in, absolutely forget it.

Unfortunate timing: 24B-A2B release coincides with Qwen3.5 launch
By
–
Releasing a 24B-A2B model on the same day as Qwen3.5-35B-A3B is NOT great timing 🥲 Qwen (@Alibaba_Qwen) 🚀 Introducing the Qwen 3.5 Medium Model Series Qwen3.5-Flash · Qwen3.5-35B-A3B · Qwen3.5-122B-A10B · Qwen3.5-27B ✨ More intelligence, less compute. • Qwen3.5-35B-A3B now surpasses Qwen3-235B-A22B-2507 and Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B — a reminder that better architecture, data quality, and RL can move intelligence forward, not just bigger parameter counts. • Qwen3.5-122B-A10B and 27B continue narrowing the gap between medium-sized and frontier models — especially in more complex agent scenarios. • Qwen3.5-Flash is the hosted production version aligned with 35B-A3B, featuring: – 1M context length by default – Official built-in tools 🔗 Hugging Face: huggingface.co/collections/Q… 🔗 ModelScope: modelscope.cn/collections/Qw… 🔗 Qwen3.5-Flash API: modelstudio.console.alibabac… Try in Qwen Chat 👇 Flash: chat.qwen.ai/?models=qwen3.5… 27B: chat.qwen.ai/?models=qwen3.5… 35B-A3B: chat.qwen.ai/?models=qwen3.5… 122B-A10B: chat.qwen.ai/?models=qwen3.5… Would love to hear what you build with it. — https://nitter.net/Alibaba_Qwen/status/2026339351530188939#m
