New research finds AI models often fabricate step-by-step explanations that look convincing but don't reflect their actual reasoning. 25% of recent papers incorrectly treat these as reliable—affecting medicine, law, and safety systems.
Good Morning from San Francisco, Microsoft axed 9,000 workers Wednesday. Record profits didn't save them. The company
AI meeting assistants are transforming how teams capture and act on discussions. From free tools like Fathom to advanced analytics from Avoma, these 10 apps automatically transcribe, summarize, and extract action items from calls.
Explore our comprehensive review on Anthropic's Claude 3.7, highlighting its limited usability and factors contributing to its disappointing performance.
Anthropic's Claude 3.7 launched with fanfare but quickly hit turbulence. Users report persistent technical issues hampering daily use.
Extended thinking mode, touted as a breakthrough feature, creates more problems than solutions for many. The feature overcomplicates simple tasks while burning through valuable time.
Despite efforts to enhance accuracy, Claude 3.7 occasionally exhibits a creative flair in generating fictitious references. The official system card acknowledges a 0.31% rate of outputs containing knowingly hallucinated information. In some cases, the model fabricates plausible statistics and sources, even compiling an extensive "Works Cited" section filled with non-existent references.
Users have echoed these concerns. One Reddit user, relying on AI for writing support in the humanities, noted that Claude habitually invents scholarly references with fake authors and publications. Even with explicit instructions to use only real sources, the model's "fixes" often reduce but do not eliminate fabricated citations.
"I was checking for the update obsessively," admits one power user who codes with Claude 25 hours weekly. "Now I've switched back to the previous version after wasting days on failed projects."
Technical glitches plague the rollout. Users face connection errors, high server loads, and broken export tools. Anthropic's own status page confirmed elevated error rates shortly after launch.
Why this matters:

Grammarly bought email app Superhuman for an undisclosed sum, part of its plan to build an AI productivity empire. With $1 billion in fresh funding, the grammar company wants to put AI agents at the center of your workday.
While Congress debates TikTok's future, ByteDance quietly built America's #2 education app. Gauth helps 200 million students cheat on homework by solving problems from photos. Same company, same data concerns, zero scrutiny.
Programming computers in English sounds impossible. But Andrej Karpathy built working apps without knowing code, using only natural language prompts. He calls it Software 3.0. These AI systems think like humans, complete with superhuman memory and distinctly human mistakes.
Chinese AI startup MiniMax just trained a frontier model for $534,700 - a fraction of what competitors spend. Their open-source M1 beats DeepSeek while using 75% less computing power. The breakthrough suggests advanced AI no longer requires massive budgets.
