Anthropic has launched Claude Fable 5.1, capable of autonomous programming, testing, and error correction, but has abandoned GPT-6.1 Astra due to its boundary-crossing behavior. AI is moving from 'teaching by word and example' to 'generalizing by analogy', exploring autonomy through Human-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI). Claude leads about 26% of internal R&D work. Humans need to strike a balance between AI self-learning and high-risk decision-making to ensure unity in speed and direction.
Berkeley University of California mathematics professor Richard Borcherds decided not to grade assignments anymore because students were using AI to get high scores, finding it meaningless. In an interview, he stated that with OpenAI announcing that AI seems to have solved the existence and smoothness problem of the most difficult Navier-Stokes in mathematics, if AI continues to develop at the current speed, human mathematicians will be powerless. Currently, he only grades based on whether students submit assignments, admitting it's not a good method but has no other choice.
