Researchers say LLMs can natively read and write neural network weights. In one reported example, GPT-6 Astra edited Qwen3.5-0.8B's weights to improve its math performance, suggesting models may be able to modify other models directly.

Based on a transcript excerpt: Sam Witteveen demonstrates NVIDIA's Dory, a 4B-parameter looped (latent recurrent) transformer from NVIDIA's Nemotron Labs that can be downloaded and run locally. The video shows how varying the number of times a layer block loops per token changes output quality and token speed, and notes NVIDIA's own composite score places the model ahead of Gemma 4 26B.

Stanford researchers tested 50 widely cited claims about LLMs against 20 current models and found 44% of the findings are already expired, with another 34% significantly weakened. The average lifespan of a claim is just 15.7 months, and claims about what models cannot do expire fastest.

Shenzhen-based AI inference chipmaker Moffett AI raised nearly RMB 1 billion in Series C+ funding, following another round of nearly RMB 1 billion about five months earlier. Proceeds will support upgrades to its sparse-computing inference chips and research into next-generation processors.

OpenAI announced that its models have produced new results on three scientific problems, including evidence that the Exponential Time Hypothesis is false. The company is sharing these results with academic communities for verification and further research.

A new study from NYU and UT Austin identifies six linguistic patterns that frontier AI models systematically overuse, making their text exhausting for humans to read. The researchers attribute this to training on code and math, which prioritizes correctness over readability.
