Anthropic CEO Claims AI Models Hallucinate Less Than Humans, Sees No Barriers to AGI

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated that AI models likely hallucinate less than humans and that hallucinations are not a barrier to achieving AGI. He maintains his prediction that AGI could arrive as soon as 2026, claiming there are no hard blocks preventing AI progress. This contrasts with other AI leaders who view hallucination as a significant obstacle to AGI.

Anthropic to Launch Hybrid AI Model with Advanced Reasoning Capabilities

Anthropic is preparing to release a new AI model that combines "deep reasoning" capabilities with fast responses. The upcoming model reportedly outperforms OpenAI's reasoning model on some programming tasks and will feature a slider to control the trade-off between advanced reasoning and computational cost.

Experts Criticize IQ as Inappropriate Metric for AI Capabilities

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's comparison of AI progress to annual IQ improvements is drawing criticism from AI ethics experts. Researchers argue that IQ tests designed for humans are inappropriate measures for AI systems as they assess only limited aspects of intelligence and can be easily gamed by models with large memory capacity and training exposure to similar test patterns.
