New 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. The company positions the new model as delivering performance levels comparable to Claude Sonnet 4, which launched five months ago as a state-of-the-art model, but at "one-third the cost and more than twice the speed."
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.

Cloudflare's innovative Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) revolutionize WebPKI, enabling a seamless transition to Post-Quantum (PQ) cryptography without performance penalties. By minimizing TLS handshake overhead and integrating Certificate Transparency, MTCs promise enhanced security while addressing latency concerns, paving the way for future-ready internet security.

By Michael RedlichCodeClash Benchmarks LLMs through Multi-Round Coding Competitions
Researchers from Standford, Princeton, and Cornell have developed a new benchmark to better evaluate coding abilities of large language models (LLMs). Called CodeClash, the new benchmark pits LLMs against each other in multi-round tournaments to assess their capacity to achieve competitive, high-level objectives beyond narrowly defined, task-specific problems.
