Plain RAG beat fancy agent memory in 90 of 99 matchups.
The Memory Tax paper tested 11 memory systems:
- On LongMemEval, none beat plain retrieval
- Memory rewrites history and loses facts
- Fix: keep a path back to the raw transcript
Has a memory layer ever paid off for you?
The longest proof in math history is now machine-checked.
Axiom's agent swarms put the finite simple groups classification in Lean:
- ~15,000 pages
- 43.1M lines in 24 days
- 34 real issues in the proof fixed
Agents scale when a checker can say no.

One word upgraded Matt Pocock's agent: "fricative."
Some consonants mess with silence detection in his video editor. That one word got his agent pulling out the phonetic alphabet to find the troublemakers.
Domain knowledge is the prompt.

An absolutely GOATed example of domain knowledge being important
I'm working on my video editor.
I know enough about phonetics to know that certain consonants can fiddle around with silence detection.
I tell my agent that.
The word 'fricative' is enough for it to start busting out full IPA (international phonetic alphabet) and we brainstorm which consonants are the most troublesome.
Turns out, knowing things is really fucking valuable.
Vibe coding tip: never take "done" from your agent at face value.
Paste this at the end of every task:
"Before you say done, run the tests and paste the output. Then review your own diff and list every change I didn't ask for."
The bugs hide in the changes you didn't ask for.
