What is Missing from AI Post-Training AI: An Empirical Analysis

"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..."

Beyond the Transcript: Detecting Covert Co ordination in Latent Multi-Agent Communication

Grouping the Stochastic Machine: Precision, Not Capability, as the Frontier Metric for AI Systems

"Frontier language models are compared, marketed, and benchmarked on capability -- what their best or average output can achieve. I argue this measures the wrong axis. The models have saturated accuracy: their mean output lands on the target. What now separates one system from another in practice is..."

Grading the Graders: Verification Autonomy Levels (L0-L5) for LLM Reasoning

"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..."

Tuning the Stochastic Machine: A Systems Engineer's Operating Model for Human-AI Engineering

"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..."

SPADE: Self-Play in Adaptive Synthetic Executable Environments

"Continuous self-improvement requires an ever-expanding pool of self-generated, diverse, adaptive goals. For language agents, existing training environment pools (hand-curated, statically synthesized, or frozen-verifier) keep the goal distribution fixed as the learner scales. We introduce SPADE (Self..."

Chain-of-Experience for Continual LLM Improvement

"Humans continuously learn from experience, whereas conventional large language model (LLM) evaluations ignore the models' ability to improve through inference-time interaction. In this paper, we study how LLMs learn from iterative experience at test time, a setting we refer to as Chain-of-Experience..."

Grading Needs a Rubric, Not Intelligence

Every AI Lab Becomes a Chip Company Eventually

Google's $200B Anthropic financing, AMD's Taalas acquisition, and Anthropic's custom silicon push confirm that frontier AI competition has migrated from model architecture to semiconductor control, while biosecurity incidents and sandbox escapes suggest the governance layer has not kept pace.
