"One workload is power-bound. The next workload is memory-bandwidth-bound. The next is memory-bound. It's one of the most interesting hardware design problems that we've seen in ages." Amazon SVP Peter DeSantis sat down with SemiAnalysis founder Dylan Patel at #AIInfraSummit:

Years of iterating against the same benchmarks should, by textbook logic, produce overfitting. It largely doesn't. New research explains why: strategies that generalize can be expressed in too compact a form to allow memorization, while the ones that overfit don't survive a compression.
amazon.science
Why don’t machine learning research agents overfit?
New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.

When LLM judges agree, the right question is why. Shared prompts, model families, or training lineage can make a majority look stronger than it is. Dependence-aware aggregation via Ising models accounts for this, improving accuracy 9–14% over weighted majority vote.
amazon.science
When LLM judges agree, should we believe them?
Discounting the opinions of LLM judges with highly correlated outputs ensures that panels of judges reflect a true diversity of perspectives.
