via LessWrong AI [6] — Out-of-context reasoning (OOCR) is a concept relevant to LLM generalization and AI alignment. Also available as a PDF. Contents What is OOCR? Examples Papers Videos What is out-of-context reasoning for LLMs? It's when an LLM reaches a conclusion that…

via LessWrong AI [3] — TL;DRTraining against a CoT or summary-only monitor can lead to obfuscation of dangerous reasoning in unseen tasks. This strengthens the “don’t train against a monitor” claims.Figure 1. A Two prior results: penalising the CoT or final response produces…

via Substack Zvi [999] — Google once again has a model worth at least some consideration.

via MIRI [999] — View the official memo here. An internal model at OpenAI has autonomously disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry, a mathematical field with applications in cryptography, wireless device communication, and medical imaging. The proof relates to a…

via The Verge AI [4] — AI covers and remixes of songs are already a blight on the internet. Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram are awash in flat reggae versions of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," dinky country renditions of The Weeknd, and monotonous Motown reimaginings of…

via OpenAI Blog [6] — OpenAI is named a leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise AI Coding Agents, with Codex recognized for innovation and enterprise-scale deployment.

via Substack Zvi [999] — Even in a relatively quiet period, AI is out there creating new knowledge.

via Alignment Forum [999] — Most evaluations of AI systems focus on their capabilities: how good they are at coding tasks, how effectively they can answer complex scientific questions, and so on.From a safety perspective, capability evaluations have a place: by understanding how…

via The Verge AI [4] — Google announced a new YouTube Shorts Remix feature that lets users restyle clips or even insert themselves into other people's videos using Gemini Omni. Now, at the bottom of a YouTube Short, when you click the remix icon, you'll see an option to…

via The Verge AI [6] — Welcome to a "profound moment for humanity," according to Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, who closed out Google I/O's keynote presentation on Tuesday, saying: Google's cutting-edge research and products will help unlock AGI's incredible potential for…

via Substack Zvi [999] — I cannot emphasize enough the need to let kids be kids.

via The Verge AI [4] — Google Search is entering the next phase of its AI evolution. During Google I/O 2026, the company showed off a reimagined search box that makes it easier to flow between AI Overviews, the AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of search results, and…

via ArXiv cs.AI [8] — The safety of autonomous AI agents is increasingly recognized as a critical open problem. As agents transition from passive text generators to active actors capable of executing shell commands, modifying files, calling APIs, and browsing the web, the…

via LessWrong AI [5] — Around July last year I decided I was going to go all in on technical AI safety research. To do that I’d need to get into an AI safety fellowship, quit my job, and sell everything that was in my flat in South Africa (hopefully in that order).I applied to…

via LessWrong AI [3] — Monitoring coding agents for dangerous behavior using language models requires classifying transcripts that often exceed 500K tokens, but prior agent monitoring benchmarks rarely contain transcripts longer than 100K tokens.We show that when used as…

via Substack Zvi [999] — No more burying the sex stuff under an avalanche of other stuff so no one notices.

via DeepMind Blog [4] — Biologists use Co-Scientist to find novel factors that successfully rejuvenate human cells.

via ArXiv cs.AI [3] — Modern cloud and enterprise systems rely on identity-centric authorization, assuming that callers possessing valid credentials are safe to execute commands. The emergence of autonomous AI agents invalidates this assumption: agents can generate syntactically…

via ArXiv cs.AI [3] — Multi-agent orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, and CrewAI route tasks through graph-based pipelines but do not enforce the stage constraints that govern real business processes. We present SDOF, a framework that treats multi-agent…
