Claude expands into agentic workflows while trust cracks appear at every layer
From the editor
Today's items share a quiet theme: the gap between deployment velocity and genuine understanding. Claude lands in Google Antigravity with mid-session model switching, two Claude Code patches ship in quick succession, and yet interpretability researchers are finding systematic defects in model decompositions they thought they understood. Meanwhile, developers are leaking credentials through MCP configs and Anthropic is fumbling its policy messaging. The models are moving faster than our ability to audit, secure, or legislate them. That gap is the story of 2026.
TL;DR
- Claude Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 bring dynamic model switching to Google Antigravity agentic pipelines.
- Treat MCP config files like .env files: live database keys are already leaking on GitHub.
- Anthropic faces credibility pressure on both interpretability reliability and AI policy communication.

A brief(ish) introduction to LM psychology
Despite building language models, researchers still lack deep understanding of how they work. This post argues that psychology offers a practical lens for reasoning about model behavior and alignment.
