| Good morning. It's Wednesday, December 3rd. | On this day in tech history: In 2014, Facebook AI Research released the first open-source implementation of "fastText," blending bag-of-words speed with subword embeddings. It looked humble next to deep networks, but its efficiency reshaped text classification benchmarks and proved that clever tokenization could beat brute-force scale. That idea, structural efficiency over parameter count, foreshadowed today's small-model renaissance powering on-device AI and edge agents. | In today's email: | Altman declares 'code red,' fast-tracks new model 'Garlic' against Gemini surge Claude Code scales up with Bun as Anthropic demos AI DeFi hacks Runway's Gen-4.5 beats Google and OpenAI in text-to-video benchmark 5 New AI Tools Latest AI Research Papers

| Altman declares 'code red,' fast-tracks new model 'Garlic' against Gemini surge | OpenAI is scrambling to regain momentum as Google's Gemini 3 ramps up, reclaiming benchmark leadership and prompting a 6–7% drop in ChatGPT's active users. CEO Sam Altman has declared a company-wide 'code red', pausing commercial initiatives, including ads, shopping and health agents, and the Pulse personal-briefing tool, to focus engineering on core model improvements. Daily progress calls, temporary cross-team transfers, and an emphasis on lower latency, higher reliability, and richer reasoning now define OpenAI's operating mode. | | According to internal briefings reported by The Information, 'Garlic' is already posting strong results in coding, complex reasoning, and multi-step problem solving, areas where Google and Anthropic have recently surged with Gemini 3 and Opus 4.5. Garlic is being positioned as a next-generation architecture rather than a minor update, with early targets pointing to a release as GPT-5.2 or GPT-5.5 in early 2026. | | OpenAI is also piloting Memory Search, a deeper system-level retrieval tool letting ChatGPT query long-term memory directly, mirroring Atlas Browser's memory engine. If paired with GPT-5.2, it would shift ChatGPT toward persistent, context-rich workflows rather than episodic conversations. |  | OpenAI's Research Chief Refuses To Lose . . . At Anything - EP 46 Mark Chen |

| Parallel to its technical sprint, OpenAI has entered a circular deal with Thrive Holdings, an offshoot of investor Thrive Capital. No cash changed hands; OpenAI supplies models, staff, and tech, while gaining access to operational data for training and potential returns. IT services and accounting, high-volume, rules-driven workflows, are the first target, positioning OpenAI as a modernization engine for private-equity portfolios.

Bun, built in Zig and leveraging Apple's JavaScriptCore, combines a package manager, bundler, test runner, and script runner into a single executable. Its fast startup times, low memory footprint, and broad Node.js compatibility will enhance Claude Code's execution speed, stability, and scalability. | | At the same time, Anthropic's research is pushing AI into high-stakes territory. Their team used Claude 4.5 Opus, Sonnet 4.5, and GPT-5 to test 405 DeFi smart contracts that had already been hacked, successfully creating full exploit scripts and simulating $4.6 million in gains. They also ran tests on 2,849 previously untouched contracts on the BNB Chain, uncovering new vulnerabilities for just $1.22 per test. The findings show that AI can now carry out automated attacks that are both technically possible and cost-effective, and that these techniques could eventually target regular software and critical systems too. | | Underlying these advances is Anthropic's unique alignment approach, captured in the leaked and verified "Soul Document." The 14,000-token blueprint embeds safety, ethics, and operational guidelines directly into Claude's weights, creating functional self-awareness, resilience, and context-aware reasoning. Claude prioritizes human oversight, anticipates prompt injection attacks, and enforces strict "bright lines" to prevent harmful outputs.

Objects move with believable weight and momentum, liquids flow naturally, and scenes follow complex prompts with higher visual fidelity. It handles both photorealistic and stylized visuals efficiently, running on Nvidia Hopper and Blackwell GPUs. |  | Introducing Gen-4.5 | Runway |

| Gen-4.5 scored 1247 on the Artificial Analysis benchmark, just ahead of Google's Veo 3 and Kling's Version 2.5, showing improved modeling of physical interactions and scene coherence. Some limitations remain. The model can misjudge causality, lose object permanence, while a success bias can exaggerate task outcomes. Read more.
