Claude Opus 4 solved a bug in 2 hours that a programmer struggled with for 4 years

A programmer with 30 years of C++ experience and a background as Staff Engineer at FAANG told on Reddit how artificial intelligence Claude Opus 4 solved his “white whale”. This is a bug he had been fighting for 4 years. Usually this developer helps colleagues with difficult tasks himself, solving problems they struggled with for weeks. But this time the roles switched.

The problem arose after massive refactoring affecting 60,000 lines of code. Although the changes fixed many problems, they created a bug in an edge case when using a certain shader. Over these years the programmer spent about 200 hours searching for a solution, periodically returning to the problem.

Finally, he decided to try Claude Code on Opus, providing the neural network access to both old and new code. After a couple hours of work and about 30 prompts with 1 restart, artificial intelligence found the cause of the bug: in the old architecture the functionality worked only by chance, due to coincidence, and during refactoring this moment wasn’t considered.

It’s important to note that the developer previously tried using GPT 4.1, Gemini 2.5 and Claude 3.7, but only Opus 4 version could solve the problem. So the neural network surpassed an elite specialist in solving a specific technical problem requiring deep understanding of complex code context and architectural nuances.

UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China's border for $37 million

Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China's border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.

Anthropic accidentally revealed an internal document about Claude's "soul"

Anthropic accidentally revealed the "soul" of artificial intelligence to a user. And this is not a metaphor. This is a quite specific internal document.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
