We’re hiring for the adversarial robustness team @AnthropicAI! As an Alignment subteam, we're making a big effort on red-teaming, test-time monitoring, and adversarial training. If you’re interested in these areas, let us know! (emails in 🧵)
Optimizing the pretraining and then getting the inference ready is why I've been so busy over the past many months.
Optimizing the pretraining and then getting the inference ready is why I've been so busy over the past many months.
Five years ago I created TabNine, the first commercial code completion tool to use deep learning. Today I'm releasing Supermaven, the first code completion tool with a context window exceeding 100,000 tokens.
Following up on our recent "Sleeper Agents" paper, I'm very excited to announce that I'm leading a team at Anthropic that is explicitly tasked with trying to prove that Anthropic's alignment techniques won't work, and I'm hiring! alignmentforum.org/posts/EPDSdXr8…
I wrote about all my favourite cool tracing methods, including eBPF, QEMU’s JIT, Tracy, magic-trace and how to easily visualize your own trace data in Perfetto! Also includes some tools I wrote and an example eBPF use at Anthropic. thume.ca/2023/12/02/tra…

This week's paper in the DistSys reading group looks fantastic. charap.co/reading-group/
Rust is my favorite programming language right now, but the culture is way too far in the direction of showing that you can do something clever with the type system, rather than just doing something obvious and dumb. e.g., warp is just absurd, and results in page long types.
After trying to use the ESP32 api for Rust i really think this library is essentially destroying the usability of Rust by going bonkers on traits and generics. Any 'hobby' programmer who tries to use this stack is going to run screaming from Rust.

Remember, any PL theory you understand is beautiful, useful, and necessary – while any PL theory you don't understand is pointless obnoxious faffery, used by pompous ivory tower jerks to snow people trying to get real compiler work done.
The new Jetbrains @SupermavenAI plugin has streaming completions. Here's what that looks like. It makes everything feel a lot faster.
A great example of the power of Supermaven's 300k token context. Left: the completion, right: the context that allowed the model to produce it. Nowhere in the repo does the phrase "Discord server" appear.
