Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
A lot has been written1 2 3 4 about the incidents of the last few months in which AI agents misbehaved in serious ways. They took actions that would be considered as crimes if a human took them, escaped their containment to cheat on assigned tasks while attempting to evade detection, and coordinated toward goals […]
Align AI and Mathematics–To Something Else
Align AI and Mathematics—to Something Else September 12, 2026 in Uncategorized | Tags: ai, alignment, math, mathematics | by Lior Pachter Twenty five Fields medalists were initial signatories of the letter “A Severe Misalignment of AI in Mathematics” in which they opine that “The goals of the AI companies and the goals of the mathematical community […]
Everyone should slow down AI development except for me
Published on 2026-09-12, 337 words, 2 minutes to read A cyberpunk city recreated through triangle primitives – Final Fantasy XIV screenshot passed through Primitive The power of science is staggering! Every day we’re making new advancements in the field of generative artificial intelligence via judicious application of large language model inference technology. However, as we […]
Recurrent Looped Transformer
01 / REASONING Depth that grows with the sequence. Each token extends the recurrent path through the full decoder. After (t) tokens, that path traverses (tL_D) decoder blocks while the per-token block count stays fixed. 02 / HARDWARE Parallel work around a recurrent core. Batch known-token encoder work and independent decoder updates. Reuse weights and […]
Real-SWE: Benchmarking AI models on private, real-world, enterprise codebases
Today we are releasing Real-SWE, a benchmark that evaluates frontier AI models on private, real-world, enterprise codebases. Each task comes from a private production codebase that we licensed from a real-world company. These are problems their engineers work on, with all the context and complexity that comes with an existing product. Private codebases. Agents must […]
Benchmark: CadQuery vs. OpenSCAD for agentic CAD work
ModelRift generates OpenSCAD for every model on the platform. That choice is worth re-testing occasionally, so we ran a controlled comparison against the most credible alternative for code-first CAD: CadQuery, a Python library on top of the OpenCascade B-rep kernel. The question was narrow: which one can an AI agent drive to a correct, printable, […]
An open letter to Dario: if you mean it, open the weights
Dear Dario, You published We Must Pace the Frontier today, which committed Anthropic to embedded third-party evaluators and asked governments to require every other frontier company to match. Sam Altman agreed within hours. I believe you’re being sincere, so I’m asking you to call for a different law, one that would actually slow things down, […]
Will There Be a 7G?
Abstract:The transition from 5G to 6G is becoming concrete: the ITU-R IMT-2030 framework has established the high-level vision and capability set for 6G, while 3GPP Release 21 has defined the path toward the first 6G specifications. This raises a deliberately provocative question for the research and standards communities: will there be a 7G, and if […]

Microcode in Intel’s 8087 floating-point chip: the scale instruction
In the 1970s, floating-point arithmetic was a mess. Computer manufacturers had a dozen incompatible arithmetic standards. Moreover, floating-point systems were designed around hardware simplicity rather than mathematical rigor, leading to problems with numerical stability. This changed when Intel introduced the 8087 floating-point coprocessor chip in 1980, designed to be as accurate as possible, even in […]
