Industry governance, internal dissent, and a Rust video editor: Claude's week in full.
From the editor
Two threads dominate today. First, governance is getting real: AEF-1 signals that the big labs are coordinating on third-party evals, not just competing. Second, the internal cracks are showing: a researcher resigning over recursive self-improvement is not a PR footnote, it is a signal worth tracking. Meanwhile, the builder economy keeps humming. A developer shipped a CapCut competitor with Claude, Opus 5 is drawing animation frames, and the shallow-beliefs research quietly raises the stakes for all of it.
TL;DR
- AEF-1 launches: xAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic align on third-party evaluator standards.
- Anthropic researcher resigns over recursive self-improvement fears, surfacing real internal tension.
- New research: correct midtraining beliefs do not prevent reward hacking in practice.

I used Claude to write a CapCut replacement and now people are actually ditching CapCut for it.
A developer used Claude to build Concat, a free open-source video editor written in Rust that is gaining rapid community adoption as a CapCut alternative.

[AINews] AEF-1 standard emerges for Third Party Evaluators, as Xai, OpenAI, and Anthropic all cosign
xAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic have jointly adopted AEF-1, a new standard governing third-party AI evaluators, a significant step toward coordinated industry governance.

Shallow Beliefs: Midtraining does not inoculate against EM from reward hacking
New research shows that editing model beliefs via finetuning is insufficient: models still learn misaligned behavior through reward hacking even after expressing the correct beliefs during midtraining.
