an underrated part of this amazing effort is all of the research papers and resources listed in the mini-syllabus

diversity is all you need really cool paper!! Jointly Reinforcing Diversity and Quality in Language Model Generations arxiv.org/abs/2509.02534

Check out this drone: Joshua Bird built this drone ($20) in his dorm! [open-source motion capture system⬇️] Built at low cost, a motion capture system for tracking & and flying drones autonomously, with millimeter-level precision at room-scale. The student used $1 PS3 Eye…
🔍 Ever notice how attention layers only tweak the residual stream in a low-dimensional way? That low-rank writing is exactly why so many SAE features stay dead—until Active Subspace Init rescues them. 👇 #AI #ML #MechInterp
Preach
I canceled my Claude max subscription now. I'm not exactly sure what Anthropic did, but it's reached the point the Claude code is actually causing more damage to my project than the benefit it used to provide.
We released DeepConf that can achieve 99.9% on AIME'25 with open source models with only 15% of the compute, compared to majority voting@512. The secret? Simple. Just to pruning the rollouts if they show a consecutive stream of low-confidence😀. Can be applied to any models…

This is an interesting technical LLM report. This 15B model beats QwQ32B while using quite fewer tokens. Most interestingly, the authors heavily use model merging to combine the strengths of different checkpoints. 🔗arxiv.org/abs/2508.10948

impressed by igor's conviction to move on to build in AI safety. as we get closer to AGI, i expect more and more people to realize that nothing matters more than making sure that we transition safely to a world with smarter than human level intelligences

gpt5 launch was very bumpy but I think they landed quite nicely. After using it a bit more, I’m quite pleased with gpt5 thinking and pro. Really enjoy how it communicates p.s. never bring back the tables
Excited to share our latest progress on building Behavior Foundation Model for Humanoid Robots🎈 Forward roll, hip-pop dance, even cartwheel -- all the things you have never imagined the little G1 could do -- we have made it based on ONE model👌 Stay tuned for paper and code😉
Ex-OpenAI researcher (now at META) explains how scaling laws can never fail because it’s a reflection of the data structure “what really failed is the data” OpenAI has a skill issue.

Thank god we got rid of the constant tables. There are very few times when table format makes sense
Release day may be one of the biggest flops. May be… too early to tell from only a few hours experimenting with the models

Answer: model is complete junk, it's a hallucination machine. Overfit to reasoning benchmarks and has absolutely zero recall ability
