Following yesterday's News coverage, Ethan Mollick validates Claude Mythos as not marketing hype, noting it's a general purpose model that excels at finding exploits because good models are good at many things; predicts similar from OpenAI/Google and open models in 8 months

Source details
So Mythos was, indeed, not marketing hype. Remember this is a general purpose model that just happens to be good at finding exploits because good models are good at lots of things. Expect similar from OpenAI & Google. And from open models in 8 months. t.co/KbhalQYX8R t.co/UoxtGXrOAw

Anthropic announces Natural Language Autoencoders research - training Claude to translate its numerical activations into human-readable text, making internal thoughts interpretable.

Source details
New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders. Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read. Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text. t.co/pMLsxM2VAO

Nato Lambert's comprehensive report on visiting leading Chinese AI labs - notes culture well-suited to building LLMs with fewer resources, different ecosystem with more companies, almost no data industry

Source details
Visiting most of the leading Chinese AI labs, I'm struck by a culture that's extremely well suited to building LLMs with fewer resources, but one happening in a very different ecosystem, more companies at play, almost no data industry, etc. Full report: t.co/ibmtMWnfTc

John Carmack's detailed analysis comparing semiconductor fabrication to space launch before SpaceX - arguing fabs may be in a similar state of suboptimal conservatism where 'too big to fail' mentality prevents experimentation and improvement

Source details
Space launch was a clear case where there was a large difference in efficiency between what was possible and what was done in practice before SpaceX. A large part of that was due to everything being locked in to what (just barely) already worked, with huge risk aversion. WIth national prestige or a half billion dollar geosync satellite on the line, speculative engineering ideas that might result in a public debacle were not welcome. When failure is not an option, success can stay very expensive
