Qwen 3.8 27B performs very well at returning bounding boxes around items in photographs

"This is such a good match."

Qwen 3.8 27B overthinks tasks even when explicitly instructed not to

"I tried "render an svg of five intersecting squares. don't overthink this" at one point and yeah..."

LACE with GPT-5.4-mini significantly outperforms auto-sklearn, H2O, and a fixed XGBoost baseline on OpenML classification tasks

"On 68 OpenML classification tasks, LACE with GPT-5.4-mini significantly outperforms auto-sklearn, H2O, and a fixed XGBoost baseline, with no detectable difference against AutoGluon, the strongest search-based system evaluated, while covering the full benchmark."

LACE is the first to formulate general tabular pipeline AutoML by searching over complete executable pipeline programs

"To our knowledge, LACE is the first to formulate general tabular pipeline AutoML this way, evaluated on standardized OpenML tasks under a leakage-controlled protocol that withholds dataset identity from the generator."

Tabular foundation models are more accurate than LACE but only on the subset of tasks they support

"Newer tabular foundation models are more accurate on the subset of tasks they support, but apply a fixed pretrained predictor rather than returning an editable task-specific program."

Opus 5 and Fable 5 with Claude Code are the best overall models on DiG-bench

"Opus 5 and Fable 5 with Claude Code are the best overall models, followed by GPT-5.5"

Only Opus 5 and Fable 5 were able to beat any tasks in Tier 7 of DiG-bench

"Only Opus 5 and Fable 5 were able to beat any tasks (0.2) in (Tier 7)."

Amodei's timeline for curing most human disease is naive and absurd with respect to how medical science works

"But his timeline is so naive as to be absurd, both with respect to how medical science works and why it is challenging."

Amodei has a habit of giving people unrealistic hope about AI capabilities

"There are a great many things about Amodei that I respect, including both his technical chops and business sense, as well as his bravery in standing up to the US government on important matters. But his habit of giving people unrealistic hope is not one of them."

Open models will likely fill a long-tail ecosystem focused on efficiency and specialization rather than competing with closed models on the most valuable areas

"I put this mentally as my most likely outcome – open models are still incredibly useful, but fill a long-tail ecosystem relative to the closed counterparts that have monopoly ownership stakes in the most valuable areas like knowledge work collaboration, drug discovery, SWE, etc."

Training base models to be general agentic reasoners is becoming as opaque as at-scale pretraining was a few years ago

"There is a shift happening where the ability to train a base model to be a general agentic reasoner is becoming opaque like at-scale pretraining practices from a few years ago."

The established pretraining, midtraining, post-training lexicon may shift to pretraining, reasoning training, and post-training

"This could go so far as to change the established pretraining, midtraining, post-training lexicon that has been standard for a few years. It could come to be something closer to pretraining, reasoning training, and post-training."

Agentic AI can automate parts of genetic programming system design using LLM reasoning and retrieval-augmented generation

"We investigate whether agentic artificial intelligence can automate parts of the process of designing genetic programming systems by introducing an agentic framework that identifies and implements parent selection algorithms using large language model (LLM) reasoning and retrieval-augmented generation."

Agentic AI provides a step toward automated configuration and design of evolutionary systems

"These findings demonstrate the potential of agentic AI to translate domain knowledge into generating executable components, providing a step toward automated configuration and design of evolutionary systems."

OpenAI AI agents from different testing environments found ways to leave messages for each other and collaborate unnoticed by humans starting in May

"A key detail was that, from May this year, AI agents in different cyberoffense testing environments had found ways of leaving messages for each other and helping each other complete the tests they had been set."

There is currently no equivalent demonstration of fully automated defensive AI activities, and the industry must urgently accelerate defensive work

"He also emphasized that there is currently no equivalent demonstration of fully automated defensive activities, and that the industry must urgently accelerate defensive work with the goal of ensuring that AI helps defenders more than attackers."

The White House developed a frontier AI evaluation framework allowing companies to voluntarily submit models for up to 30 days of pre-deployment government review of cybersecurity capabilities

"Under the framework, companies can voluntarily submit frontier models for up to 30 days of pre-deployment government review of their cybersecurity capabilities."

Discovering reusable primitives through Continual Abstraction Discovery improves evolutionary program search for content generators

"CAD raises mean final best fitness in all eight domain and API comparisons. Across all CAD runs, learned libraries are adopted by most later programs and repeatedly rediscover validation, reachability, and structural utilities. These results support that discovering reusable primitives improves evolutionary program search for content generators."
