ALT Screenshot of a 3D isometric real-time strategy game in progress. HUD at top reads "1:49", "4×", "Ironclad · Industry" (blue dot), "Boom · Industry" (red dot), resource icons and "0:56", with a blue-versus-red balance bar labeled "B" and "R". A banner in the center top reads "DOUBLE KILL" with "Blue" beneath it. The grassy battlefield shows a blue team base in the lower left with a domed command center, a radar dish, two factory buildings and a turret, plus a refinery labeled "+200" where blue supply trucks carrying crates gather around ore deposits, with floating "+45" labels by the trucks. A gravel road runs diagonally from the base to the upper right, where blue tanks fire a laser at a white enemy unit. Near the base, red enemy tanks under fire show a "+45" label, while blue turrets shoot at them. Rocky outcrops sit at the top left and right center, clusters of low-poly trees line the right and bottom edges, and a minimap is in the top right corner. Pause and mute buttons are at the
ALT Screenshot of the same strategy game, now on a snowy winter map in replay mode. HUD at top reads "6:27", "1×", "anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5 · industry" (blue dot), "gpt-6-luna · industry" (red dot), resource icons and "0:03", with the balance bar labeled "B" and "R". A note at top left reads "Blue: Pushing turrets at the enemy's south-east edge." A replay panel below the HUD reads "Blue anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5 · industry vs Red gpt-6-luna · industry · frostbite seed 42" with a scrubber at "6:27 / 7:48" and buttons "−30s", "+30s", "All", "Blue's eyes", "Red's eyes" and "Notes". A frozen lake of cracked ice plates fills the left side. In the lower center a group of blue tanks advances past a snow-covered pine forest toward a line of red turrets along the lake shore, one of them burning. A dark rocky ridge crosses the middle, and the red base with a refinery, other buildings, tanks and supply trucks sits in the upper right. Minimap at top right, zoom and lightning buttons at bottom left
ALT The start-up has also clamped down on "distillation" - a controversial practice whereby rival Al labs train their models on the outputs of more advanced ones. When rival companies "distil" their models from Anthropic's models, that involves heavy usage and spending. Anthropic told investors on Wednesday distillation accounted for 5 per cent to 7 per cent of revenue and that they had cut it back "materially" in the third quarter of the year, said four people with direct knowledge of the matter.
ALT Um, they do not. Um, this is going to be a new type of content. Um, it’s not going to show up... Oh, hold on. Yeah, no- I do not want this to show up in my, um, tag pages and date archive pages and... Actually, no, I think... I don’t want it on the tag pages. I don’t want it on the, um, blog index page. But I think I do want it to show up on the date-based pages. You know, if you navigate to September the 19th, and I sent a newsletter on that page, I think I want that to show up. So... this is- so I think we probably need a new model. The other thing is that I want them searchable, uh the Substack ones are not searchable, because those are actually just copies of other s- on content on my blog. These monthly ones do contain unique content, and spe- and once they’re... published, like once they’re made public a month after they’ve gone out, I want them to show up on my search results.
