Forcing LLMs to be evil during training can make them nicer in the long run

Researchers built an automated pipeline to hunt down the neuron patterns behind bad LLM behavior—sycophancy,hallucinations,malice, the usual suspects. Then they trained models to watch for those patterns in real time. Anthropic didn’t just steer modelsaftertraining like most. They baked the correct..

Which LLM writes the best analytical SQL?

Tinybird threw 19 top LLMs at a 200M-row GitHub dataset, testing how well they could turn plain English into solid SQL. Most models kept their syntax clean—but when it came to writing SQL that actually ran well and returned the right results, they lagged behind human pros. Messy schemas or tricky pr..
