Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in reasoning and code generation, raising the prospect that they could assist in developing and optimizing the very infrastructure that powers them. However, existing benchmarks mainly focus on isolated kernels, predefined operators, or pre-specified optimization targets, and therefore fail to evaluate the ability of LLMs to perform open-ended, long-horizon LLM infrastructure engineering. To address this gap, we present Φ-Ben

Nice pp improvements for RDNA4(R9700) & 3.5(RX 9060 XT, 8060S). More good numbers on large context. PR has detailed benchmarks. u/ilintar 👍

Google Research has released ToolGrad, an ACL 2026 Findings framework that inverts tool-use dataset generation: it builds a verified API chain first, then writes the matching user query. Guided by textual "gradients" from a 4-module propose-execute-select-update loop, ToolGrad reaches a 99.8% pass rate on ToolBench versus 63.8% for DFS search. Gemma-3-12B fine-tuned on only 500 samples scores 83.1 on BFCL, next to Gemini 2.5 Pro at 83.2. Code, dataset, and models are public under Apache-2.0. The

Sequential memory agents process long documents by reading chunks one after another while maintaining a compact memory state, coupling document traversal to reasoning depth. This coupling introduces sensitivity to evidence placement and ties inference latency linearly to document length. We introduce PARSER, which decouples reading from reasoning. A bank of lightweight subagents each bound to a single chunk read the entire document in parallel, while a lead agent reasons in depth through iterati

Datasette 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 security releases Today we're releasing two new security patch versions of Datasette: 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 - one for the current alpha series and one for the stable 0.65.x family. These are security fixes which you should apply if you are running a Datasette instance on the public web - in particular if that instance mixes both public and private tables. Following issues reported by Sevban Dönmez , Alex Garcia and I ran an extensive audit of Datasette using Claude Fable

Large language models (LLMs) are often post-trained on pre-collected reasoning trajectories to improve their reasoning capability. Such trajectories tend to be long due to complex, interwoven paths, which often include detours on the path toward the answer. However, it has been underexplored whether LLMs indeed benefit from learning complete trajectories in post-training, such as supervised fine-tuning (SFT). Starting from our pilot study, we find that full trajectories provide only limited bene

Some people says terminal bench reflects model intelligence better than the intelligent index. From the look of it, the ranking does seem to reflect how people feel about the open and closed models. For the open models, GLM-5.3 is in a league of its own. GLM-5.3-Flash is leading the current gen of top flash models. Kimi-K3 did pretty bad in this benchmark for its size. Qwen3.8-27B is the only small model that can do something on this bench. Model Score GLM-5.3 41.9% GLM-5.3-Flash 32.8% DSV4.1-Fl

We study scheming in LLM agents, in which agents covertly pursue misaligned goals. Our focus is to understand how scheming arises from the interaction of key factors, such as instrumental goals, environmental affordances, oversight conditions, and perceived consequences. Prior work examines only a small number of scenarios, limiting the ability to isolate how these conditions shape an agent's propensity or capability to scheme. This limited scale and task diversity also restrict coverage of real

Code world models represent worlds as executable programs, but this representation alone does not determine how to construct a complex world. We introduce Recursive Code World Models (RCWM), a framework for reconstructing complex 3D worlds in code from a single reference image. RCWM couples a Recursive Scene Program (RSP) representation with a construction solver that recursively calls itself. An RSP represents the executable world as compositional scene code, while each solver call follows the

While K3's usage figures have declined slightly in recent months, OpenRouter data currently shows as many as 300 billion tokens being generated each day by K3 models on the system.

Soft-deprecating re.match() Python has a concept of soft deprecation , where APIs are marked as "should no longer be used to write new code" without any promise/threat to remove them in the future. Python 3.15 release manager Hugo van Kemenade describes how in the upcoming 3.15 release soft deprecation has come for the venerable but deeply confusing re.match() function. It's now available with the much clearer alternative re.prefixmatch() name - reflecting how it anchors at the beginning of the

Reducing audio-encoder depth lowers the inference cost of speech large language models, but removing complete blocks perturbs the embeddings consumed by the decoder and can cause deletion and premature end-of-sequence errors. We introduce X-AuT, a progressive framework that selects layer combinations through short behavioral probes and restores the pruned model through representation alignment, cross-scale distillation, scheduled student-policy supervision, and LoRA finetuning. The language-mode

I got an email this morning from Portainer which they also posted on their blog here . Anyone know what they're referring to here: ...the future roadmap of Docker continues to looks uncertain, and its support in the ecosystem continues to diminish. Is it just their justification for pivoting away from Docker to focus more on Kubernetes and enterprise? Or is there some issue with the Docker ecosystem? The site they linked to is a substack blog. On the license-front, it looks like (what they curre

Mainstream robotic policies often adopt a Markovian formulation, but many complex real-world manipulation tasks are inherently non-Markovian, requiring long-horizon memory beyond the current observation. Existing memory mechanisms often rely on language summaries, growing visual windows, or their combinations, and may therefore lose fine-grained visual evidence or face a trade-off between history coverage and execution efficiency. We introduce MaP-WAM, a Memory-as-Plans framework that decomposes

"I didn't know that AI could hallucinate facts," New Mexico defense lawyer says.

New Mexico's Supreme Court is punishing a lawyer for including AI-fabricated witnesses and fake police testimony in an appeal for his client's murder conviction, according to a report from Reuters. In a filing on Wednesday, the court fined Stephen Aarons $5,000 and held him in contempt for failing to "verify the factual claims and legal […]

Tan wants smaller, American open-weight AI labs to use the same kind of training techniques on American frontier AI labs, giving the U.S. a more robust set of open-weight options that aren’t Chinese.

Renewables pledge won’t change the Oracle and OpenAI data center’s use of gas.

A 2024 University of Wisconsin–Madison paper estimates that "one cheeseburger equates to 1.9 kg of CO₂e emissions". Google’s 2025 research paper reports that "a median Gemini Apps text prompt generates 0.03 gCO2e". That's 1,900 grams of CO₂e emissions per cheeseburger. That’s 0.03 grams of CO₂e emissions per Gemini text prompt. 1,900 ÷ 0.03 ≈ 63,000 prompts. I'm just sharing this as a reality check. You could prompt Gemini every day 150 times a day for a year and it still wouldn't equal one chee

High-quality structured organic reaction data are essential for developing artificial intelligence for chemistry (AI4Chem), yet much of this knowledge remains dispersed across patent text, images, and reaction schemes. We present DianShi-RxnDB, a large-scale, fine-grained organic reaction data platform built via a fully automated extraction and normalization pipeline integrating patent text, images, and reaction schemes. Its corpus covers organic synthesis patents from the USPTO and EPO publishe

Quick recap in case you missed it. Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic on Tuesday, specifically so he could say publicly that both OpenAI and Anthropic are "gambling with our lives" and racing toward self-improving superintelligence without acting responsibly. He'd spent three years doing pretraining research at both companies. Then it got stranger. Evan Hubinger, who currently runs alignment science at Anthropic, responded confirming it. His words: "Jacob is correct here, we really do earnestly

Leading benchmarks for formal theorem proving with large language models are small collections drawn from competition math, such as the IMO and Putnam, that poorly represent field-specific applications. We introduce StochBench, a Lean 4 benchmark of 450 graduate stochastic-processes problems at varying abstraction levels, each paired with its natural-language source. Addressing a field underrepresented in Mathlib, it covers finite and countable Markov chains, renewal processes, random walks, mar

I trained a 210M-parameter text-to-image diffusion transformer from scratch (3.5 days, one RTX PRO 6000, 4.2M images at 256²) mainly to understand the recipe end to end. Three measurements came out of it that I have not seen stated plainly elsewhere, so I'm posting those rather than the samples. 1. Learned null attention slots become the sink. Following the register-token idea, the model has 16 register tokens in the image stream plus 2 learned key/value slots appended to every cross-attention.

I just watched a YouTube from Luke’s Dev Lab where he literally just plugged a RTX 2000 ADA Into the side of the Zima Board 2’s PCIE socket and it just friggin worked and had great token speed despite running on shitty Ollama. Ran off the Zima’s power supply and everything. The Zima Board 2 is only like $411. It has like 16GB RAM and 64 GB eemc storage, Sata ports, Ethernet, yada, yada. an Nvidia RTX 2000 ADA is like $700 and has 16GB of VRAM. $1100 for both seems like a great entry point for ha
