When I created Claude Code as a side project back in September 2024, I had no idea it would grow to be what it is today. It is humbling to see how Claude Code has become a core dev tool for so many engineers, how enthusiastic the community is, and how people are using it for all sorts of things from coding, to devops, to research, to non-technical use cases. This technology is alien and magical, and it makes it so much easier for people to build and create. Increasingly, code is no longer the bo

We are hiring a Head of Preparedness. This is a critical role at an important time; models are improving quickly and are now capable of many great things, but they are also starting to present some real challenges. The potential impact of models on mental health was something we saw a preview of in 2025; we are just now seeing models get so good at computer security they are beginning to find critical vulnerabilities. We have a strong foundation of measuring growing capabilities, but we are en

AI Analysis
Comprehensive analysis of AI model economics: Grok estimates Google's model cost $50-200M to train, future models may cost $500M-1B, switching costs are near zero creating no lock-in, BigTech will dominate model creation while niche AI apps can survive as specialized wrappers

Very good question Grok estimates 🍌 Nano Banana Pro cost Google about $50-$200 million just to train Every year the models get better (and bigger), and generally require more compute (like others have said), so the next better model will cost a multiple of that, so like $500 million or even $1 billion So unless I'd raise $500 million to train that next model I don't think it's possible, because I simply do not have $500 million lying around Another thing is that it's starting to become clea

@palashkaria @karpathy 1. Almost always use Plan mode 2. Give Claude a way to verify its output with unit tests, the Claude Chrome extension, or an iOS/Android sim 3. Hold the same bar for human and Claude code. Use /code-review to automate most of code review

AI Analysis
Neel Nanda reviews the Opus 4.5 System Card alignment audit, calling it a 'solid alignment auditing effort' but noting 'we still have a ways to go' for auditing highly capable future systems. Confidence partly comes from model's inability to use encoded chain-of-thought.
