MaxRL is a framework that turns more compute into increasingly better approximations of the maximum likelihood objective in sampling-based tasks.

If this perspective is accurate then it has deep implications for the economics of AI: the marginal cost of solving an idiosyncratic problem is small (you just need to map it to one of the canonical problems, and apply that solution), but there’s very high value in making progress on the canonical problems. So we would expect AI labs to be spending huge amounts of compute on advancing the SoTA on the few deep problems of the world, and providing a service that solves idiosyncratic problems very cheaply.

Fuzzers work by throwing massive amounts of random inputs at code to see what breaks. Opus 4.6 reads and reasons about code the way a human researcher would—looking at past fixes to find similar bugs that weren't addressed, spotting patterns that tend to cause problems, or understanding a piece of logic well enough to know exactly what input would break it.

Counterintuitively, that’s my biggest reason to be optimistic about AI and creativity. When hard parts become easy, the differentiator becomes love.

"Firms don't appear to be replacing workers with AI on a significant scale," the firm said. It suspects some are trying to "dress up layoffs" as good news

No matter what happens, the country could be in for a shock. If AI progress stalls and the money dries up, there will be economic chaos. If AI progress advances and leads to massive waves of automation, there will also be economic chaos.

Left out of those negotiations were the Memphis City Council; the county Board of Commissioners; and TVA, whose board ultimately had to approve any requests for more than 100 MW of power.

They only learned about the deal in early June, after the deal was done, when Musk announced it with a post on X referencing Memphis’ illustrious music history: “Elvis is in the building.”

That includes the TVA board, which was planning to consider new rates for data centers, including xAI, at its May board meeting. But the board can no longer approve resolutions after President Donald Trump fired two of its members. Consideration of the data center measure has been postponed, TVA spokesperson Scott Brooks said.

AGI might create abundance, but it won’t dispel the incentives for companies and states to amass resources and compete with rivals. Hassabis admits he is better at forecasting technological futures than social and economic ones; he says he wishes more economists would take the possibility of near-term AGI seriously. Still, he thinks it’s inevitable we’ll need a “new political philosophy” to organize society in this world. Democracy, he says, “is not a panacea, by any means,” and might have to give way to “something better.”

But he is also confident that if we eventually build AGI capable of doing productive labor and scientific research, the world that it ushers into existence will be abundant enough to ensure a substantial increase in quality of life for everybody. “In the limited-resource world which we're in, things ultimately become zero-sum,” Hassabis says. “What I'm thinking about is a world where it's not a zero-sum game anymore, at least from a resource perspective.”

The AI Scientist Generates its First Peer-Reviewed Scientific Publication

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has proven to be a useful algorithm for training LLMs to reason and improve on benchmarks. DeepSeek-R1 showed that you can bootstrap a model through a combination of supervised fine-tuning and GRPO to compete with the state of the art models such as OpenAI's o1.

To learn more about how it works in practice, we wanted to try out some of the techniques on a real world task. This post will outline how to train your own custom small LLM using GRPO, your own
