Anthropic hiring manager drops coding interviews as AI labs ship updates
Original title: [AINews] Anthropic ends Coding Interviews: "Hunger beats tenure"
The roundup also covers Genie 4's limited preview, a Lean formalization of CFSG, and disputed ETH claims.
Latent Space leads with Felix Reiseberg, a hiring manager at Anthropic, who says he stopped using traditional coding interviews because Claude outperforms those tests. The same roundup notes Google DeepMind's Genie 4 research preview for trusted testers, with broader access planned later. It also reports Axiom's Lean formalization of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups and lab claims about the Exponential Time Hypothesis, plus eval index updates.
Unconfirmed: ETH refutations and Claude's independent disproof are lab or secondhand claims, not independently verified here.
- Reiseberg says impactful builders succeed regardless of coding-test scores.
- Genie 4 is open to trusted testers; Ultra subscribers are next via Project Genie.
- Axiom says an agent swarm produced about 50 million Lean lines in 24 days.
- Artificial Analysis Index v5 weights four categories at 25 percent each.
