5/6 Can an LLM improve another LLM? We simply asked Astra to make Qwen3.5-0.8B better at math. Astra saw Qwen get stuck in reasoning loops, which is a known issue that Qwen’s own model card warns about (see their official model card). With a budget of 50 forward passes on practice problems, it located the cause and edited it out. This used no gradients or training. Fixing these loops by editing just 0.016% of weights boosted other capabilities beyond math too!

Anything like a shoulder joint. Maybe also wheels?
Any use case ideas for this jaw gear? Printed on @formlabs. Motor by @cubemars_motor. #3DPrinting #Robotics

So then it can also inventory the store and make this inventory available for search, right? Right‽
AI can now track exactly what you look at in a store.

What if the LLMs were rewarded for identifying the most intelligent human agents to whom ever? Whatever.

I am self proclaiming myself daft. What are we calling this particularly female anthropomorphation?

Don’t make left handed life, kids.

I’m speaking chirally. I’m left handed for about 65% of things — assuming being able to do it with both hands counts for both….

There are more reasons than that Ogus's name is Arthur to explore Ogus's F-isocrystals and Azumaya algebras in Topological Hochschild Homology (THH).

Vibe check: the city is lit this weekend. Cool!

some interesting movement in AI + robotics on the explicit 3D dynamics + world modeling front, the most interesting papers I'm reading right now are: 1) AEON - arxiv.org/pdf/2610.28631 2) WorldFlow - arxiv.org/pdf/2610.39278 3) MotionForesight - arxiv.org/pdf/2607.16192 4) Trajectory forecasting - arxiv.org/pdf/2610.28594 I think this is a particularly useful approach when combined with classical control.

If I were to go to a Halloween party in SF this weekend, where should I go? Costume is a surprise.

Uncanny
We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech! Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs. This is a GPT3 moment for speech.

MIT throws a good shindig. Professor David Kong on the decks.

Cool, now make one for doing inference too…
Introducing Bitwater: the water heater element that mines Bitcoin. It screws into the electric tank you already have. Physically decentralized mining that runs no matter what 🧵 Heat water. Mine Bitcoin. Same tank.

Seems important.
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.
