Google Launches Gemini 3

+++ Google's latest model trades hallucination theater for the subtler art of sounding confident while being wrong, with benchmark scores to match and a UI layer that finally lets it build things instead of just describing them. +++

Google launches Gemini 3, its “most intelligent” and “factually accurate” model yet, better at coding and reasoning, and trading “flattery for genuine insight”

Weight-sparse transformers have interpretable circuits

"Finding human-understandable circuits in language models is a central goal of the field of mechanistic interpretability. We train models to have more understandable circuits by constraining most of their weights to be zeros, so that each neuron only has a few connections. To recover fine-grained cir..."
