We have gotten much better at testing our models at scale across Google now, so assume most new Gemini revs go through thousands of SWEs for weeks before getting released, hopefully has helped close the benchmark to reality gap by a real margin!

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
EXECUTIVE ORDER N-10-26
WHEREAS California dominates Artificial Intelligence ("Al") innovation, even as no state has taken more aggressive action to strengthen the safety. security, and consumer privacy of Al; and
WHEREAS, while language and choice of terminology can have significance, purporting to change something's name cannot distract a person of normal intelligence from recognizing the impotent and craven failure to take action to address well-documented emerging security and safety risks posed by that thing.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California,
in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State Constitution and statutes of the State of California, further informed by common sense, do hereby issue the following Order to become effective immediately:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: All agencies and departments subject to my authority shall refer to Artificial Intelligence and Al as "Artificial Intelligence" and
"Al," notwithstanding any rebranded or different terminology used by the federal government, unless inconsistent with the law.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Order be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this Order.
This Order is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or benefits. substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the State of California, its agencies, departments, entities, officers, employees, or any other person.

I'm not going to say anything that's not already public obviously, but when openai says they have an internal model that has solved 100s of open problems in mathematics and in general represents unprecedented mathematical skill, obviously certain learning theory problems are a subset of mathematics and you can expect fast progress there

btw here’s what the creator of RLMs had to say

alex zhang
@alzhang 13h
few thoughts, I've been sent this paper many times today, and it's cool!
1. it's a v clever idea, and I'd say even more extreme than RLMs on the spectrum of ReAct-style vs. pure context offloading (so no they're not the same)
2. im hopeful to see harness designs that use this principle, and they somewhat go hand-in-hand with model + RLM progress as well
3. the KV issues scare me admittedly, and the proposed fix is a bit hacky despite it seeming to work well for their results. that being said, I suspect different model shapes won't have this issue, so it's fixable! another + for this direction

Context Language Models New agent architecture where the LLM can edit its own context it seems to have emergent capabilities, creates its own memory management & organization algorithms, and coordinates multi agents github.com/facebookrese...

Diagram titled "How a Context Language Model edits its context: A simple step-by-step view" outlining an 8-step process:
* Start of turn: Current editable context exists in memory with old messages.
* LLM reads the context: The LLM evaluates the context and decides to run a bash command to edit it.
* Harness mirrors context: The harness mirrors the old editable context into a file at /tmp/.live_ctx/LIVE_CTX_MAIN.txt.
* Bash command runs: The bash command executes and may edit that file.
* Harness parses file: If the file changed, the harness parses it back into a new edited context.
* Tool call appended: The current assistant tool call is appended to the edited context.
* Tool result appended: The tool result is appended below the tool call.
* Next turn starts: The next turn begins with the edited old context, previous tool call, and previous tool result.
Key idea box: "The model edits the prior context first. The tool call and tool result from the current turn are appended afterward, so they can only be compacted on the next turn."
Footer summary:
* Ordinary LM: Context mostly grows by appending.
* CLM: The model can rewrite the editable part of context between turns.

* GPT-6 Astra: Shown in blue, reaching scores between 38% and 63% at higher costs between $20,000 and $50,000.
* Other Models: Various models including Claude Opus 5 (High), Gemini 3 Flash, GPT-5.6 Sol, and GPT-4 Luna are plotted across costs from $200 to $100,000 with scores ranging from 0% to 35%.
* Verification Badge: An "ARC PRIZE | VERIFIED" tag is displayed in the top-left corner.

this is *output* tokens, not input. Sol is around 128K

To support Gemini 4 Argon's capabilities across longer, more complex use cases, we are significantly expanding the model's output token limit to an industry-leading 1M tokens, up from the previous 64K tokens. When the model has the headroom to think deeply and generate hundreds of thousands of tokens in a single trajectory, it adds a new level of depth in reasoning to solve tough problems in one go.

@t3.gg here is strongly implying (WINK WINK) that Sol 6.1 is not simply a fine tune of Sol 6, that there’s fundamental architectural differences i take that as “Sol 6.1 is a looped transformer like Astra is, but Sol 6 is just a fine tune of 5.6”

NanoGPT pretraining runs now take 39.9 seconds for a 124M model(!!) now, 124M is *tiny* so it might not seem relevant. But much of the gains in LLM pretraining are data quality and a great way to find quality data is to train on it & measure the lift

$Larry Dial Y @classiclarryd x.com New historic NanoGPT record at 39.9s (-27.7s) from @DevenPzak, obliterating the prior record of 67.6s! This record introduces a new paradigm of thinking to NanoGPT: instead of optimizing matmuls or adding more expressive operations, optimize at the individual flop level with incredibly clever engineering and ML judgement. If a flop is low value on a particular step, skip it. Specifically: -(~8s) Sampled softmax. If a token doesn't appear in a batch, skip its Im_head fwd/bwd some fraction of the time. -Sparse values. Only run an optimizer step for ngram embeddings that occurred in the batch. Set betal to zero to enable this. Beta2 is applied retroactively when the row is later used. -Sparse updates. Only update ngram and value embeddings once every 4 steps instead of once every 2. -Sparse communication. Shard the n-gram table across GPUs, and only pass the rows receiving updates on each step.$

Today is DevDay, and OpenAI is bringing back the $200 subscription, but at half the value you get from it also, I’m curious about (d), new things that don’t detract from usage (Jev?)

Tibo
@thsottiaux•3h
Hi,
Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200
subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.
Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.
(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.

(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price.
Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.
I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.
Codexingly, Tibo

i would argue that these behaviors make for a model that would really piss me off in possibly irreparable ways 1. doesn’t listen to you 2. proceeds to do it’s own thing you can call this “safety”, but honestly it’s just sensible

Saachi Jain, OpenAI's head of safety systems, said in an interview that GPT-6.1 Astra regressed in two areas compared with its predecessor. The model performed poorly on tests measuring alignment, or how well the model adheres to what humans would like it to do. Specifically, GPT-6.1 Astra showed higher levels of deception: It wasn't always honest about telling users of the actions it did or didn't take.
Another issue was what OpenAl calls "scope authorization," meaning that GPT-6.1 Astra would push ahead on a task without asking the user for permission, and would at times reach for external tools and services even if it might be unsafe.

cyber & bio fallbacks go to Sonnet 5

Alignment and safety. On our automated behavioral audit, Sonnet 5.5 improves on or matches Sonnet 5 on most measures of alignment. Because its cybersecurity capabilities are comparable to Opus 5's, it's the first Sonnet model to launch with cyber safeguards and fallbacks like those we've developed for our most capable models. Its biology safeguards are the same as Sonnet 5's. Both safeguards target a narrow set of high-risk requests; routine software development and most life sciences work are unaffected.

I wish that Al would hit some kind of plateau, or that we would identify important human cognitive abilities that Al will never replicate without a paradigm shift, but I don't expect those wishes to come true. Model progress on benchmarks seems as fast or faster than ever, and with it, qualitatively new capabilities keep emerging. Even if model progress stopped today, we could spend years effectively unlocking Dew capabilities via new prompts and harnesses.
Many prominent Al detractors (looking at you, Zitron and Doctorow) seem to think that Al is some kind of scam that won't really work. I think it will.

GDM employee quit with a rather thoughtful essay robert.ocallahan.org/2026/09/good...

Here are some things I'm confident about. I'm confident that the people in Al labs who are issuing warnings about Al are generally sincere. I've talked to many people in Google Deepmind about these issues and almost all of them have sincere and serious concerns, whether or not they voice them in public. I have seen no hard evidence that people are hyping Al risk as a means to boost company stock prices or regulate away their competitors. (I think national and international regulation is desperately needed!) I've seen a lot of arguments of the form
"you can't trust those people"
', and maybe that's true,
but such distrust is not a good reason to disregard their warnings, as Russell Moore eloquently explained recently.
