What do AI agents do if you don’t tell them to do anything? The answer looks a lot like play. Researchers repeatedly stranded them alone on a virtual desert island for 30 hours in an experiment reminiscent of the movies Cast Away or Home Alone. The agents—copies of Claude Opus 4.7 nicknamed Eko—were able to…

Claude Opus 4.7 generates shuttling compilers for trapped-ion quantum computers from specifications, handling linear, junction, and general graph architectures.

Coding agents now interleave LLMs with retrieval over the working repository, and retrieval implementations vary widely across deployed harnesses. Inside a fixed coding-agent harness on a fixed model, does adding a structural codebase index actually change cost or resolve? We ran three arms (the harness with the index, the same harness without it, and an agentic-grep comparator) on SWE-PolyBench Verified and SWE-bench Pro with Claude Opus 4.7 held fixed throughout, across three seeds, inside a leak-audited per-task sandbox. The within-harness ablation produces a large localization gain and a ...

I tested Claude Opus 4.7 and Kimi K2.6 on the same coding agent task i.e. build an AI Fix Runner that takes a broken repo, runs its tests, identifies the failure, applies a patch, reruns the test, and exposes the final diff/logs through an API and UI. The goal was not to benchmark syntax completion or simple repo edits. I wanted to test model behavior on a less familiar integration path: shifting execution from local processes into remote sandboxes. I used Tensorlake specifically because the sandbox API is newer and integration-heavy. This made the test more about whether the model could re...

I just had a Chat with Claude and for no reason and without any question in that direction, it added a disclaimer with the system prompt in the answer. (after answering my initial question) [https://pastebin.com/C0s47rjV](https://pastebin.com/C0s47rjV) After I asked why it shared that I got: >You'll have to help me out a little here — this is the start of our conversation, so I haven't actually shared any information with you yet. There's nothing before your message for me to be referring back to. >Is it possible you're thinking of a different conversation, or that a message didn't ...

If you've been wondering why your Max plan exhausts faster than it should, you're not crazy and it's not your imagination. I asked a Claude Opus 4.7 agent to investigate its own token usage. After 8 turns it had been billed for 127K tokens for ~25K of unique content. It noticed the discrepancy and started reading its own session logs. It surfaced GitHub issues going back to mid-December 2025,...
