Pentagon turns to AI targeting to help troops shoot drones

Pentagon Pushes AI Targeting to Speed Drone Defense From Turrets to Rifles

The Defense Department is seeking AI-assisted target recognition systems that can help troops and platforms detect, track, and engage drones faster while reducing false identification of non-threats like birds.

Key Takeaways

The Pentagon wants AI-assisted target recognition to speed drone defense and reduce false identification.
Initial work focuses on CROWS remote weapon stations, with later phases expanding to maritime platforms and small arms.

Anthropic Pushes Claude Opus 4.7 Further Into Coding While Deliberately Limiting Cyber Use

Anthropic says Claude Opus 4.7 delivers a sizable jump in autonomous coding performance, sharper instruction-following, higher image resolution, and intentionally reduced cybersecurity capabilities.

Key Takeaways

Anthropic says Claude Opus 4.7 scored 64.3% on SWE-bench Pro, up from 53.4% for Opus 4.6.
The model now handles much higher image resolution and showed large gains on document reasoning.

AI Models Still Prefer Guessing Over Asking for Help, Benchmark Finds

A new benchmark built to test whether multimodal AI systems know when to ask for more information shows that most current models still guess, hallucinate, or refuse instead of requesting the visual context they need.

Key Takeaways

ProactiveBench tests whether multimodal AI models ask for missing visual information.
Across 22 models, average performance fell from 79.8 percent in standard settings to 17.5 percent on the proactive benchmark.
