  5. Microsoft Research podcast: what AI evaluation gets wrong

    In a Microsoft Research podcast episode, host Chad Atalla speaks with Jennifer Neville, who leads the AI Interaction and Learning team at Microsoft Research and is a professor at Purdue, about how evaluation pushes the performance boundaries of today's AI systems and about the “surprising failures” that appear when models are tested beyond traditional benchmarks. Neville argues that the benchmarks commonly used in ML/AI are fairly simple relative to real-world use, so her team designs evaluations around multiturn behavior, collaborative settings and long-horizon tasks to expose performance gaps and then drive algorithmic and model improvements. She also offers practical guidance for working with current AI systems and stresses examining the data closely when results defy expectations.

  9. Meta and Microsoft cut back on Claude, pushing their own coding tools

    The Information reports that Meta and Microsoft are pushing staff to rely less on Claude and more on in-house or cheaper models. Meta's internal Claude Code active users fell from 60,000 to 30,000 (down 50%), backfilled by its own Muse Code (more than 6,000 internal users) and MetaCode (over 30,000), while Meta still spent more than $105 million on Claude Code in one recent 28-day period; Microsoft cut internal Claude spending by over a third and lowered per-employee monthly token budgets from $100,000 to $10,000. Anthropic tells investors the impact is limited, pointing to annual recurring revenue growing from about $9 billion in January to $65 billion, with Copilot customers' growing Claude usage roughly offsetting Microsoft's internal reduction.
