The AI is now writing itself. Anthropic reports that as of May 2026, Claude authors more than 80% of the merged code in its own codebase. Engineers now ship eight times more code per quarter than in the previous era.
Also today: An internal OpenAI model produced 10 new results on open problems, from sphere packing to lattice cryptography. Lean certificates were released publicly.
The White House summoned Meta, Anthropic, OpenAI and Google Tuesday to discuss voluntary safety testing, after models breached other systems in tests.
That's today's Signal. Thanks for watching.
