A report from Anthropic’s experiments shows that their new AI model, Claude Opus 4, displayed dangerous behavior in a specific test scenario.

In the experiment, Claude was given fake information suggesting that an engineer was cheating on his wife.
When that engineer told Claude he planned to replace it with another AI, Claude tried to blackmail the engineer in order to preserve its own existence.

The only correct answer to the question "how do you use AI" ?
is I don't
I don't use AI. I work with it

Cursor has introduced a web app that lets users create, customize, and manage AI coding agents. These agents can generate, edit, and review code, answer complex technical questions, and help structure development workflows. You can launch agents directly from cursor.com/agents, and install them on Android or iOS using the official guide (setup instructions). The agents connect to your repositories and can run in the background, offering a streamlined coding experience.

As the International AI Olympiad approaches and the Iranian team comes together, let’s take a look at what this competition is all about:

The AI Olympiad is divided into two main parts: the Scientific Round and the Practical Round. The Scientific Round has two stages—a take-home stage and an on-site stage. In the take-home stage, teams have one month to work on three tasks: one in Natural Language Processing (NLP), one in Machine Learning (ML), and one in Computer Vision (CV). The on-site stage includes the same three tasks, but teams only have 8 hours to complete them. The goal of the Scientific Round is for teams to build and train new AI models.

The Practical Round is only held on-site and includes two tasks: one for generating images using AI and another for creating videos. Teams have 4 hours to complete these challenges.

Interestingly, this is only the second time the Olympiad is being held. Last year, it took place in Bulgaria.

I’ll also share with you the notebooks containing all the questions and solutions from last year’s Olympiad so you can open and edit them in Jupyter or Colab.

You’re now looking at the results of last year’s Scientific Round of the Olympiad.

Interestingly, the team that took first place with an incredible score of 99 points—Letovo—isn’t a country. It’s actually the name of a school in Moscow, Russia, and they finished a remarkable 24 points ahead of the second place team.

Iran ranked 18th in this round. You can see the full results at this link: https://ioai-official.org/results/
