On this day: Aug 27

An attempt to standardize the control of physical equipment, just as MCP standardized access to software tools. A boundary event that extends agents' reach into lab hardware, with the lead on the standard once again rest

Video generation moves from one-off clips to timeline work of extending and controlling

A strand that directly tackles the problem of self-improvement loops wearing down performance by reusing past successes uncritically. In the authors' own reporting, with a 4B model across three domains — financial reason

A framework that reformulates the state-update rules of the DeltaNet and Mamba families as a time-alignment problem — "what to associate, and when" — making time alignment, plasticity, forgetting and bounded rehearsal in

A critique that leaderboards are optimized for formatting and impressions rather than accuracy. But this is the company's own analysis as a seller of human data, not an independent check

An attempt at evaluation infrastructure that aims both to prevent benchmark contamination and to protect IP — a path to checking frontier models with private benchmarks

The first cross-company safety evaluation between competitors

Used wafer-scale SRAM to get around the bandwidth limits of GPU HBM, popularizing the category of inference-only chips

Extrapolates with only a linear bias and no position embeddings; one of the two main approaches, alongside RoPE

Turned sentence embeddings into a searchable asset
