Prithvi Rajasekaran of Anthropic - Office Hours, Episode 5
This week on Office Hours, Anjney sits down with Prithvi Rajasekaran, a member of Anthropic's labs team and author of a recent post on harness design for long-running coding agents. The conversation ranges across the substance of his post — the generator-evaluator loop borrowed loosely from GANs, the third "planner" agent that complicates the metaphor, the Ralph Wiggum loop, and why context resets unlock Sonnet 4.5 while plain compaction suffices for Opus 4.5 — and into the looser texture of ...

Reiner Pope of MatX - Office Hours, Episode 4
This week on Office Hours, Anjney Midha and Mike Abbott are joined by Reiner Pope, CEO and co-founder of MatX, who spent a decade at Google - chip design for neural nets on the TPU team, then writing the inference stack for Palm - before leaving at the end of 2022 to bet that frontier-scale workloads deserved a chip designed from scratch around them. Reiner walks through the architecture decisions behind MatX including why intelligence per picojoule is the eval that matters, how to manage co-...

Angelopoulos argues Arena is structurally ungameable bec...

Office Hours with Amanda Askell of Anthropic
In this CS 153 "Office Hours" episode, Anthropic's Amanda Askell discusses her work making Claude "good"—a journey that took her from a philosophy PhD in formal ethics and decision theory to leading character and alignment work at Anthropic. She explains why Aristotelian virtue ethics has proven more practically useful than abstract theoretical frameworks, and unpacks Anthropic's constitutional approach to AI. Rather than imposing strict rules, the constitution describes situations, values, a...

Office Hours with Anjney Midha and Mike Abbott of AMP
In this inaugural CS 153 "Office Hours" livestream, Anjney Midha and Mike Abbott field rapid-fire student questions covering the AI compute and infrastructure landscape. They discuss how scaling laws continue to hold in verifiable domains like coding, materials science, and robotics, while creative writing remains stubbornly hard—an area Anjney would love to see students attack with carefully curated data sets. On infrastructure, they argue that meaningful frontier research now requires clust...
