Private benchmarks often show open models are further behind, but the problem with private benchmarks is you don’t have the community to squash the inevitable bugs for you. I'm 50/50 on if I think private or open-source is the best approach.

With the release of Artificial Analysis’s v5 index, this plot has been going around. Open models' demise has been exaggerated, but the previous AA index did flatter them. www.interconnects.ai/p/artificial...

Artificial Analysis finally moves to closed benchmarks (goodbye & good riddance, GDPval-AA), and finds that open weights models are falling further behind than they had previously measured. Take with a grain of salt, but matches the general vibes that we haven't seen a Fable-class open model.

Google's Genie 4 world model: "Scene: A Victorian high tea. Character: A mouse in appropriate garb." "A porcupine walks by" "The mouse grows wings" "It flies" This is realtime & I can walk around freely. It is glitchy, but also impossibly advanced compared to where we were a couple years ago.

Important, but not unexpected, finding that experts working with AI agents are swayed by the positions of the AI, even if they think they aren't. If your independent judgement matters on a task, you need to be deliberate about when in the process to bring in AI. www.anthropic.com/research/age...

Also weirdly curious if this is a failure of media training for this spokesperson or in fact the result of OpenAI's media training...

This whole story is infurating, but this first quote from someone at OpenAI is really making me see red. "The newer version won't do this": a) why the fuck should we believe you and b) even if so, that has fuck-all to do with OpenAI's culpability here. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/w...

The end of detailed summarized thinking traces for Claude and ChatGPT (likely both for anti-distillation & to simplify UX) has made being a human in the loop challenging. It pushes us towards automation, rather than augmentation, as it has become much harder to weigh in on in-process AI work.

I think it's vastly underrated how important org chart and team functionality is to building a good LLM. Over 18 months old, and still one of my favorite all time Interconnects posts. It's why we still often see orgs crumble and need to get rebuilt (e.g. Llama/xAI) & why underdogs can still catch up

Google's new Genie 4 runs DOOM: "Walking through a typical office but every computer is running DOOM and all of the walls are also running DOOM and also everything is DOOM" "My coworker who is a demon appears" "He has a chaingun" "He gives me a bonus" All this is in realtime.

This point from @emilymbender.bsky.social surfaces something that’s been nagging at me: the “stochastic parrot” phrase seems to mostly be used by people trying to say it’s *not* an appropriate term. Why? Why does the term live rent-free in their minds?

This never gets old (& also shows how hard forecasting AI is even for AI) “Hey Claude Fable & GPT-6 Astra, Without looking anything up, when do you think we will solve the Exponential Time Hypothesis?” (I only show part of the answers for space)
Ethan Mollick
@emollick.bsky.social · 2d ago
Two and a half years between these. (Tonight, OpenAI announced an unreleased model solved three long-standing problems in physics, math, and computer science, one of which was proving the Exponential Time Hypothesis was false)

I had GPT-6 Pro re-analyze the fun finding that violent video games reduce crime, as people stay home playing them. It downloaded fresh crime data and extended prior work. Yes, GTA V's 2013 launch was linked with a dip in violence internationally. Other Rockstar games are more ambiguous, though.
