LLM agents in SwarmWorld self-organize into technological societies without predefined roles or recipes.
- Safety Does Not Compose: Non-Decaying Loop State for Autonomous LLM Agents
The study shows that safety monitors in autonomous LLM agents fail to detect attacks spanning multiple iterations due to reinitialization of safety states.
- Claude Code Limits Will Decrease by 25% Starting September 14
Starting September 14, Claude Code weekly limits will permanently decrease by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. The current 50% increase will remain in place until then.
- Claude permanently raising weekly limits by 25%
Anthropic will permanently increase weekly limits by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans starting September 14. The current 50% increase will remain until September 13.
- Is the LLM Smart or Are You Not?
The article suggests that LLMs may not be as smart as humans, and humans may overestimate their own intelligence. A study on price guessing illustrates how easily we misjudge values.
