Hey there,

Today's AI news is absolutely wild.

Anthropic just dropped a model that codes autonomously for 30 hours straight. China's cutting AI costs by basically ignoring data it thinks doesn't matter. And Hollywood's losing it over an AI actress getting real agent representation.

Let's dive in.

Anthropic launched Claude Sonnet 4.5, calling it the best coding model in the world with state-of-the-art performance on SWE-bench Verified. The model can work autonomously for 30 hours straight, maintaining focus on complex tasks compared to just 7 hours for the previous Opus 4. It rebuilt the entire Claude.ai web app in 5.5 hours involving over 3,000 tool uses. Pricing stays at $3 per million input tokens and $15 output, same as Sonnet 4, but it's now available in GitHub Copilot and Amazon Bedrock.

DeepSeek released V3.2-Exp using "sparse attention" that filters out data it considers unimportant, cutting running costs by 50% while handling long documents better. The Chinese startup shocked Silicon Valley by training models on less powerful chips using fewer resources, and now their new approach only processes information deemed relevant. But here's the catch: experts warn it could exclude critical data and compromise safety by losing important nuances. The model works natively on Chinese AI chips like Ascend without extra setup, helping China compete despite US chip restrictions.

AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood is about to sign with a major talent agency, triggering massive backlash from real Hollywood stars. Whoopi Goldberg said Norwood has an "unfair advantage" being generated from 5,000 other actors' performances, while Melissa Barrera urged actors to drop any agent who signs AI talent. Created by comedian Eline Van der Velden's company Particle6, Norwood has her own Instagram and appeared in AI comedy videos. Stars like Eiza Gonzalez called it "horrific and terrifying" while Van der Velden defended it as "not a replacement but a creative work."

OpenAI's preparing to launch a TikTok-style social app powered by Sora 2 that only features AI-generated content with no option to upload real videos. The vertical feed app limits clips to 10 seconds, includes identity verification for using people's likenesses in videos, and notifies users when their face appears in others' content. Copyright restrictions will block some videos but rights holders must opt out to prevent their content appearing. OpenAI's timing the launch as TikTok faces US ownership requirements, hoping the social component will lock users into their ecosystem.

Opera released Neon, an AI-centric browser charging $19.99 monthly that creates apps through prompts and completes tasks like ordering groceries autonomously. The browser's Neon Do feature can summarize a Substack and post it to Slack, fetch details from videos you watched last week, or write code snippets for visual reports. Cards let you build repeatable prompts like IFTTT for AI, while Tasks create contained workspaces combining AI chats with browser tabs. Opera's competing directly with Perplexity's Comet and The Browser Company's Dia in the race for agentic browsers.

Developer Sammyuri created CraftGPT, a 5 million parameter language model running entirely in Minecraft using 439 million Redstone blocks measuring 1,020 x 260 x 1,656 blocks. The model trained on TinyChat dataset can hold basic conversations with 64-token context window, 6 layers, and 1,920 vocabulary tokens. But here's what happened: responses take about 2 hours to generate even with tick rate increased 40,000x using special servers. The creator admits it produces grammatically incorrect responses and "garbage" output but proves AI can technically run on Minecraft's primitive electronic components.
