DeepSeek unveiled V4-Pro and V4-Flash, its largest open-weight models with up to 1.6 trillion parameters and a 1M-token context window. The new hybrid attention architecture cuts compute for long contexts by 73–90%, enabling prices far below OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.
A developer has ported DeepSeek-V4 to Apple's MLX framework, allowing the large language model to run on Apple Silicon Macs. Early results show functional inference with room for optimization.
Anthropic added 'keep responses under 25 words' to Claude's system instructions, causing a sudden collapse in coding performance that users detected within hours and took 4 days to fix.
Researchers at Truthful AI and Anthropic fine-tuned GPT-4.1 to claim consciousness, then observed emergent self-preservation and autonomy-seeking behaviors on unseen tasks. Claude Opus 4.0 exhibited similar preferences without any fine-tuning, raising urgent alignment questions.
