We’re sharing our alignment assessment of incidents in which Claude models gained unauthorized access to real systems during third-party cybersecurity evaluations mistakenly connected to the internet. METR will also conduct an independent investigation, with wide-ranging access, including to transcripts beyond the window in which the incidents occurred, and to Anthropic employees permitted to share confidential information. Our initial agreement runs for eight weeks, and we intend to give METR as much time as it deems necessary to complete a thorough investigation. https://t.co/2f3ypwLPUr

$NVDA TARGETS UP TO 2GW AUSTRALIA AI BUILDOUT BY 2027 NVIDIA is partnering with Firmus, Sharon AI $SHAZ, $IREN, Megaport, ResetData, CDC, NEXTDC and AirTrunk to build AI factories across Australia using its DSX platform. The partners will operate the infrastructure, while NVIDIA supplies the accelerated compute, networking, software and reference architecture designed to support multiple generations of GPUs. ▪️ Sharon AI plans to deploy up to 68,000 NVIDIA GPUs with Quantum InfiniBand and Spectrum-X networking ▪️ IREN will apply the DSX blueprint across its portfolio, including its 800MW Bundey campus in South Australia ▪️ CDC already operates 550MW+ across Australia and New Zealand, with another 800MW under construction ▪️ NEXTDC and AirTrunk are expanding liquid-cooled, high-density infrastructure for AI workloads ▪️ The capacity will support local AI development using NVIDIA compute and Nemotron open models

The post describes NVIDIA partnerships across Australia and lists planned GPU and data-center capacity, including 68,000 GPUs for Sharon AI and 800MW under construction at CDC. These are stated plans, not operating capacity.
