Anthropic hiring manager ends coding interviews, says Claude is better at them
Anthropic hiring manager Felix Reiseberg announced he has stopped giving traditional coding interviews to candidates. He argues that Claude now outperforms humans on typical interview tasks like React challenges, making such tests pointless. Reiseberg's most impactful builders succeed regardless of their performance on these tests. He offers five pieces of advice for junior engineers: prioritize…
Key points
- Anthropic hiring manager Felix Reiseberg stops coding interviews, says Claude beats humans at them
- Google DeepMind launches Genie 4 world model with audio, physics, and Gemini planning for trusted testers
- Axiom formalizes 15,000-page math proof in Lean using agent swarm producing 50M lines in 24 days
The same roundup covers several other AI developments. Google DeepMind launched Genie 4, a real-time world model with native audio, physics, and Gemini-powered planning, available to trusted testers and Google AI Ultra subscribers. Axiom completed a Lean formalization of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups using an agent swarm that produced 50 million lines of code in 24 days. OpenAI and Anthropic both claimed progress on the Exponential Time Hypothesis, with Anthropic stating Claude independently found a key algorithm on October 16 using 14 million output tokens. Independent evals released include Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, FrontierCode 2.0, and GPT-6.1 Terra results. Liquid AI released the LFM3 family of six open-weight models around 2B parameters, optimized for edge inference.
