- Been in the Biz 25 years. I just cannot bring myself to go .Net no matter how I try to see the $. Would love to learn the Java Dev Env and get rocking. I love to program and did MS Visual FoxPro (20 years) and VB (10 years) and other MS stuff. I love OOP. I am tired of MS pulling the rug on developers after years of experience and we have to totally re-gear on new Tech I am not 100% happy with.

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."

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.

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.
