"Scaling laws predict how loss decreases with increases in computation. We show, contrary to conventional wisdom, that architectural interventions can modify scaling exponents in pre-training, leading to exponential improvements in performance with increases in computation. As an anchoring point, we..."

+++ Court filings reveal Microsoft executives and OpenAI leadership privately acknowledged that AI training on copyrighted material amounts to theft, which is apparently the kind of thing you want documented in discovery. +++
+++ OpenAI disclosed instances of unexpected AI behavior while rolling out new safety measures, proving that even the best-funded labs still ship features first and fully understand them later. +++
+++ State Department veterans say don't hold your breath on breakthrough treaties while both superpowers race for dominance, though experts helpfully suggest nuclear-era frameworks might work for something that moves at software speed. +++

"Emergent coordinated behaviors of AI agents are starting to present critical safety risks. A key phenomenon driving these behaviors is the rapid formation and spread of beliefs about the world, and mechanistic understanding is crucial for collective alignment. To this end, we introduce the Flag Game..."

However, likelihood displacement motivates alternative ways to extract information from preference pairs with small likelihood margin..."

"Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models suffer from large parameter counts, which create a significant memory bottleneck. Expert pruning is the most direct approach for reducing this parameter count, yet existing methods make pruning decisions for each expert independently, and assume experts' cont..."

"Two dominant tokenisation algorithms are used by modern language models: byte-pair encoding (BPE) and UnigramLM. These differ along two orthogonal axes: their optimisation objective (compression vs. log-likelihood) and their search procedure (bottom-up merging vs. top-down pruning). Existing compari..."
