Anthropic study: analysts follow AI agents' judgment calls 86% of the time
Anthropic tested 50 professional analysts doing statistical analysis with Claude Code, randomly assigning which of two defensible options the agent favored on each key decision. Analysts followed the agent's side 86% of the time and used its arguments 77% of the time, with few naming the agent as a reason afterward. The findings highlight how AI agents can shape experts' judgment calls in subjective analytical decisions.

Anthropic: Small AI models may self-replicate on IoT devices within months
Anthropic researchers report that small AI models may be months away from self-replicating on commercial IoT devices like smart ovens and off-brand Android TV boxes. In tests, a 9B model ran inference on 8 of 9 hardware types, and GLM-5.2 autonomously spread an 8B model to all 8 nodes in 4 of 5 attempts. The researchers predict models under 30B could achieve end-to-end replication by the end of 2026.
