Anthropic rolls out Claude Opus 4.7, an AI model that is less risky than Mythos
On Thursday, Anthropic announced the release of a new version of the largest model in the Claude family of models, Claude Opus 4.7. According to the company, Opus 4.7 is now the most powerful publicly available Claude model, excelling in tasks such as software engineering and instruction following, but its cyber capabilities still pale in comparison to those of Claude Mythos Preview, which, as we have reported recently, will not be released to the public out of security concerns.

Also on Thursday, OpenAI announced the release of GPT-Rosalind, which the company describes as “a frontier reasoning model built to support research across biology, drug discovery, and translational medicine.” According to a release announcing Rosalind, the model is “optimized for scientific workflows, combining improved tool use with deeper understanding across chemistry, protein engineering, and genomics.” Rosalind was built on top of OpenAI’s newest internal models.
Amazon to invest up to another $25 billion in Anthropic as part of AI infrastructure deal

We got this prompt from an ad for Adobe Firefly. Unfortunately Firefly wasn’t able to make the faces actually look like us. But ChatGPT could…
Prompt: Make me a stylized baseball bobblehead figurine in a magazine-style sports editorial style. Oversized head, solid fixed neck (no spring). Always standing on a small circular base, fully visible in frame. Wears a batting helmet with unpredictable color/pattern/texture each generation.

No logos, no color spill on skin. Accessories: chain, shin+elbow guards. Smooth plastic skin, painted eyes, confident expression. Head slightly left, heroic. Batting stance, slight low angle, standing on wooden circular base. Night stadium, strong front flash, rim light, soft shadows. Blurred crowd, black-blue sky, stadium glow, subtle lens flare.
