OpenAI's AI reasoning model 'thinks' in Chinese sometimes, no one knows why (techcrunch.com)
Shortly after OpenAI released o1, its first “reasoning” AI model, people began noting a curious phenomenon. The model would sometimes begin “thinking” in Chinese, Persian, or some other language — even when asked a question in English.

Transformer^2: Self-Adaptive LLMs (sakana.ai)
Adaptation is one of the most remarkable phenomena in nature. From the way an octopus can change their skin color to blend into its surroundings, to how the human brain rewires itself after an injury, allowing individuals to recover lost functions and adapt to new ways of thinking or moving. Living organisms exhibit adaptability that allows life to flourish in diverse and ever-changing environments.

Voyage-code-3 (voyageai.com)
TL;DR – Introducing voyage-code-3, our next-generation embedding model optimized for code retrieval. It outperforms OpenAI-v3-large and CodeSage-large by an average of 13.80% and 16.81% on a suite of 32 code retrieval datasets, respectively. By supporting smaller dimensions with Matryoshka learning and quantized formats like int8 and binary, voyage-code-3 can also dramatically reduce storage and search costs with minimal impact on retrieval quality.

Sky-T1: Train your own O1 preview model within $450 (novasky-ai.github.io)
We introduce Sky-T1-32B-Preview, our reasoning model that performs on par with o1-preview on popular reasoning and coding benchmarks. Remarkably, Sky-T1-32B-Preview was trained for less than $450, demonstrating that it is possible to replicate high-level reasoning capabilities affordably and efficiently. All code is open-source.

Contemplative LLMs (bearblog.dev)
Recently, I posted a prompt on X (formerly, Twitter) for Large Language Models like Claude sonnet, GPT-4o, Deepseek v3, and so on. The prompt instructs these models to 'contemplate' for a bit before providing the final answer, and it unexpectedly went viral. This is a short blog post on my thinking behind coming up with this prompt.

I built an Gemini powered AI that detects and fixes Python errors with reasoning (medium.com)
In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, automated tools that can help diagnose and fix code issues are becoming increasingly valuable. Today, I’m excited to share a project that leverages Google’s Gemini model to automatically detect and fix errors in Python code. This tool not only identifies issues but also provides reasoned explanations for its fixes, making it an excellent learning resource for developers.
