    [AINews] Anthropic ends Coding Interviews: "Hunger beats tenure"

    Anthropic hiring manager Felix Rieseberg said he has stopped giving traditional coding interviews because Claude now outperforms candidates on such tasks like React challenges, and that the most impactful builders succeed regardless of test performance. His advice for junior engineers: pick business impact over backlog, choose a radical idea, build a working prototype over a weekend, focus on one good idea, and lean into a fresh user perspective. The roundup also covers Google DeepMind's Genie 4 world model, Axiom's Lean formalization of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups, and new benchmark versions from Artificial Analysis and Cognition.

    A bust-up between mathematicians fuels fears that AI could undermine science

    A dispute over OpenAI's claim that its AI solved a major Navier–Stokes problem, after a rival mathematician raised concerns about whether his work stored in OpenAI's Codex tool fed into it, highlights worries about AI's effect on scientific trust. The BBC report also examines AI-generated errors and fake citations in journals, contested claims about DeepMind's materials research, and efforts by publishers to screen submissions.

    Former Deepmind researcher thinks AlphaGo's playbook can cure AI hallucinations

    Former Deepmind researcher Thore Graepel founded Metis Reasoning, which proposes applying AlphaGo's approach of pairing neural networks with systematic search to general reasoning, using an explicit "knowledge ledger" that records what is known and checks new entries against evidence. Metis says the setup should produce fewer hallucinations and knowledge that can be changed without retraining, though the white paper describes only a research program with no working system or benchmarks. Graepel, who worked on AlphaGo, AlphaZero and MuZero, is reportedly raising a low tens-of-millions round for Metis.
