Operating massive reverse proxy fleets reveals hard lessons: optimizations that work on smaller systems fail at scale; mundane oversights like missing commas cause major outages; and abstractions meant to simplify become hidden fragility points. Success requires profiling on target hardware, relentlessly monitoring boring details, keeping hot paths lean, and trusting instrumentation over theory.

By Claudio MasoloNew Claude Haiku 4.5 Model Promises Faster Performance at One-Third the Cost
Anthropic released Claude Haiku 4.5, making the model available to all users as its latest entry in the small, fast model category.

By Vinod GojeAnthropic Finds LLMs Can Be Poisoned Using Small Number of Documents
Anthropic's Alignment Science team released a study on poisoning attacks on LLM training. The experiments covered a range of model sizes and datasets, and found that only 250 malicious examples in pre-training data were needed to create a "backdoor" vulnerability. Anthropic concludes that these attacks actually become easier as models scale up.
