That does make me optimistic. "Stealing back" our stolen data does in the end a free model make — unless the current, very... unprecedented US admin decides distributing unauthorized distilled models carries a prison sentence. But

Open benchmarks are vulnerable to saturation. I think benchmarks should have an embargo periodic, until which only 3% of the question-answer pairs is released, with an explicit warning not to use it 3 months after being released.

We can still see the motion is forced, the cursor takes non-direct paths, actively doges away from targets, requiring active steering to stay put long enough to press them. While there are few misclicks, it feels like a product of active ef

The original model, aside from its programming mistakes, also misremembered the doubling formula. I hoped to see that solved, which it was, as well as maybe a more general performance boost from recovering some distillation loss.

I tested it on basic long addition problems. It frequently misplaced the decimal signs, used unnecessary reasoning tokens (like restating previously done steps) and overall seemed only marginally more reliable than the base DeepSeek 1.5B. O

Why would it have to be one or the other? Yes, it's been proven LLMs do create world models, how good they are is a separate matter. There still could be goal misalignment, especially when it comes to RLHF. If the model has in its inte

But don't words have a fixed size embedding? Causal models create a sequence of attended word embeddings. It's only about 300 dimensions per one word, so it seems counterintuitive you can compress an entire reasoning chain into su

If chain of thought acts as a scratch buffer by providing the model more temporary "layers" to process the text, I wonder if making this buffer a separate context with its own separate FNN and attention would make sense; in essenc

Grammarly at least used to be deterministic and fast. Its edits are consistent and its mistakes are easier to spot. That alone is enough of a value proposition over LLMs, especially since their tech required years of computational linguisti
