... than the most sophisticated cognitive theory based models. There's no incentive for this stuff to happen. I think there may be some abstract universal circuitry that all intelligent systems have to independently rediscover.

I know this is a wild bet, but please, take the data and see if this check out. There's just so much more to learn from it: botcs.github.io/reason-to-pl… huggingface.co/datasets/csbo…

Reason to Play - Behavioral and Brain Alignment

32 fMRI-scanned humans and 8 frontier open weight LLMs play ARC-AGI like games with no rules given. The reasoning models match the human learning trajectories and their hidden states predict human...

After 10 incredible years of not being at @GoogleDeepMind, I’ve decided to quit. The decision to stop not working there was not taken lightly. I'll be joining @sirbayes' team to continue the work on curriculum design, towards a general computational model of teaching.

wow. actually true. the same way GH is crumbling now, under yottabites of slop code, HF will soon see a surge of everyone uploading agent trained slopcheckpoints for RSI flagplanting.

Idk how to explain this but Microsoft buying GitHub feels identical to NVIDIA buying HuggingFace

Listening to @SemiAnalysis_ and @dwarkesh_sp Dylan rants made me realise: at one point Dylan was complaining about "releasing too much alpha" - however if he didn't share anything no one would care listening. So maybe the meta is to share just enough to influence the market?

Applications for the first round of lightconecommons.com are closing this Sunday! We'll likely facilitate $35M of grants by end of October. The application process is minimal and extremely flexible. If you have an ambitious project of almost any scale, send in what you have.

Lightcone Commons is a platform for coordinating ambitious philanthropy. Leverage evaluators with strong track records. Split the bill fairly with other funders. Maintain full control over your...

worry not, there are some interesting news on the horizon... I've been looking into the edits done by RLVR on different domains.

IMO OLMo 1-3 still underrated in their contributions to science. I wish we could’ve spent more time amplifying this while building them.

We hope LittleLearner + LittleCurriculum will serve as a controlled sandbox for studying learning beyond pretraining: from continual learning and interpretability to curriculum design and RL-driven discovery. 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2608.13545

LittleLearner: Language Models Under Pedagogically Controlled...

Modern language models are trained on heterogeneous web-scale text corpora. Consequently, studying knowledge and skill acquisition is difficult, as prior exposure to related content is hard to...

I predict that soon we will have a branching point in frontier AI, where one camp will target super human performance in every aspect and the other will aim to close the gap in every success and failure modes to humans.

Until that point, I believe working on a heavy weight data driven computational model of teaching is going to benefit both flesh and metal.
