OpenAI is going to let users access Codex, its desktop AI tool that can write code and use apps on your computer, from the ChatGPT app on your phone. Following the surge in popularity for Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI has been working quickly to try and catch up, including by cutting back on "side quests," shutting down projects like the Sora video-generation tool, and focusing on growing its enterprise business.

Perhaps a little too popular, as Microsoft is now preparing to walk back its Claude Code push. I understand that Microsoft is planning to remove most of its Claude Code licenses and push many of its developers to use...

Anthropic has released new findings on why its Claude bot blackmailed users as part of an experiment conducted by the AI company last year—and Elon Musk is jumping in to take some of the blame. Last week, Anthropic published a report saying it had fixed Claude’s “agentic misalignment,” or AI actions that deviate from intended behaviors, including ones that may harm humanity. A case study Anthropic conducted last year created a fictional company called Summit Bridge, and Claude was given control of the firm’s email system. When the bot found a message about plans to be shut down, it identif...

Claude Code reads environment variables from the `.env` in its working directory on launch. When it finds `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` there, it silently uses that key for billing instead of your OAuth ...
