"Large language model (LLM) agents can now post-train an LLM end-to-end. They can write code, launch training, evaluate checkpoints, and improve downstream performance, raising the prospect of AI-for-AI. We argue that this picture conflates two distinct capabilities: execution-level capability, itera..."

The models have saturated accuracy: their mean output lands on the target. What now separates one system from another in practice is..."

"Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly paired with verifiers (step checkers, self-consistency filters, tool-based fact checkers, formal proof assistants) that claim to detect the model's errors. Yet the verification literature uses the word "level" to mean at least five different things: veri..."

We model a post-AGI economy in which corporations own populations of AI and robotic agents that are both producers and consumers of energ..."

"When an expert corrects an LLM assistant's error, the correction usually dies with the session, and the error class returns. I argue this is an operations problem, not a tooling problem: mechanisms for persisting corrections exist and are shipping, but the discipline for governing them -- versioning..."
