The author details how to effectively prompt Google’s Nano Banana Pro, a visual reasoning model, emphasizing that success relies on structured design documents rather than vague requests. The method prioritizes four key steps: defining the Work Surface (e.g., dashboard or comic), specifying the prec.. read more  

Skald spun up a full local RAG stack, withpgvector,Sentence Transformers,Docling, andllama.cpp, in under 10 minutes. The thing hums on English point queries. Benchmarks show open-source models and rerankers can go toe-to-toe with SaaS tools in most tasks. They stumble, though, on multilingual prompt.. read more  

Researchers trained small transformer models to predict the "long Collatz step," an arithmetic rule for the infamous unsolved Collatz conjecture, achieving surprisingly high accuracy up to 99.8%. The models did not learn the universal algorithm, but instead showed quantized learning, mastering speci.. read more  

Amp’s team isn’t chasing token limits. Even with ~200k available via Opus 4.5, they stick toshort, modular threads, around 80k tokens each. Why? Smaller threads are cheaper, more stable, and just work better. Instead of stuffing everything into a single mega-context, they slice big tasks into focuse.. read more  

Google’s been quietly field-testing two shadow models,Fierce FalconandGhost Falcon, on LM Arena. Early signs? They're probably warm-ups for the next Gemini 3 Flash or Pro drop. Classic Google move: float a checkpoint, stir up curiosity, then go GA... read more  

The author, Ben Recht, proposes five research directions inspired by his graduate machine learning class, arguing for different research rather than just more. These prompts include adopting a design-based view for decision theory, explaining the robust scaling trends in competitive testing, and mov.. read more  

OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever just said the quiet part out loud: scaling laws are breaking down. Bigger models aren’t getting better at thinking, they’re getting worse at generalizing and reasoning. Now he’s eyeingneurosymbolic AIandinnate inductive constraints. Yep, the “just make it huge” era m.. read more
