We can now do effective continual learning for #LLMs I am happy to present Info-SDFT: Information-Proximal Self distillation. The method nicely balances plasticity versus stability and works very well. We did over 500 experiments on this! Thanks to @KickItLikeShika! We open source code and checkpoints for you to use: Code: github.com/KickItLikeShika/i… Checkpoints: huggingface.co/collections/K… Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2609.24646

ABSOLUTE BLOODBATH IN THE MARKET. Over $2 trillion has been wiped out from US stocks in just 50 minutes after the open. This is the fastest wipeouts in US stock market history. The S&P 500 is down 2.7% and has now erased all of its gains since the midterm results. Most of the selling is in tech stocks: • Nvidia: -7%, -$300 billion • Tesla: -9%, -$140 billion • AMD: -12.5%, -$100 billion • Micron: -10%, -$95 billion • Broadcom: -5.5%, -$90 billion Health care, consumer staples and energy stocks are up today. Did Democrats just kill the AI trade?

what a freaking time that is man
if you have a qwen3.5 4b around, please try steering neurons L14 N8949 +1 and L13 N7956 -1 now you have evil qwen recipe: dose × median(‖resid‖ leaving layer L, tokens 1:) / ‖W_down[:, n]‖` at the down_proj at every input

check out the Work Models by @MotoniqLabs!
I did always say, if you do robotics right, you can get some amazing stuff happening. Some amazing findings here: 1. You can improve VLAs if you do things right and have a model that thinks about the VLA's thinking. Really cool idea! 2. You can save tons of money if you do things in the right way. 3. Claude and GPT are not as great as advertised when it comes to EAI! This is some cool next level results! You can even see improvements to LeWM!

exactly and thank you
Software engineering is dead... In other news, a software engineer with 18 years of experience (me) just spent 15 hours refining a big new feature, asking questions that the frontier models hadn't even considered. Software engineering isn't going anywhere.

thats what i am saying review what the llms are writing ffs
All 722 papers are very interesting, unfortunately none would qualify as an arxiv paper.

one funny thing about this is how llms are getting more cracked in maths, and they still suck in the thing that they are optimized for the most, which is coding let an llm touch a proper huge codebase, and you better get ready to revert these changes
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model. We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results. github.com/openai/math

and here i am not talking about trivial codebases, they do really good in those, but on the lower level, code is getting more complex, unreadable, and pretty difficult to follow

let us see how that backfires
