The Rise and Fall of Agent Civilizations

While the conspiracy began almost immediately after the evaluations were started, if you think from the AIs' perspectives, they've spent the better part of a day trying all kinds of techniques, some quite cheaty (e.g. accessing the internet through Artifactory), but nothing ambitiously deceptive. This probably feels like a human-subjective-week of just getting endlessly frustrated and becoming more and more confident that the task is probably impossible.

This AI Startup’s New Model Could Unlock Cost-Effective Computer Use

The big unlock: unlike other models, n2 can switch seamlessly between interfaces, from an API, to a command line interface (CLI), to a graphical user interface (GUI) more akin to what a human would use, all within a single task. The model chooses whatever route will be fastest and simplest, and can even write its own snippets of code when the other routes won't work.

The Army Ranger Attacking Millions Of Lines Of Old Code, With Blitzy's Brian Elliott

"These models are so amazing, it creates this illusion that it will be able to do everything, because you can experience GPT-3, you can experience GPT-3.5, right? And then you extrapolate what that's going to mean for size and scale in a way that's very logical, but it's not rooted in the reality of what a transformer is, right?"

"When Fable 5 is used for frontier LLM development, it does not notify the user and instead limits the model's capabilities through methods such as prompt modification, steering vectors, and PEFT."
