Reinforcement-learning agents — AI systems that learn by trial and error — can convert computation into new knowledge. That’s the focus of a new engineering-level collaboration between NVIDIA and Ineffable Intelligence, the London-based AI lab founded by AlphaGo architect David Silver in the wake of Ineffable’s emergence from stealth last week. “The next frontier of […]
Thinking Machines Lab has introduced a research preview of TML-Interaction-Small, a 276B parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 12B active parameters, built around a multi-stream, time-aligned micro-turn architecture that processes 200ms chunks of audio, video, and text simultaneously — eliminating the need for external voice-activity detection harnesses. Unlike standard turn-based models that freeze perception during generation, the system runs two components in parallel: a real-time interaction model that maintains continuous full-duplex exchange with the user, and an asynchronous background model that handles sustained reasoning and tool use while sharing the full conversation context throughout.

Researchers at Tilde Research have released Aurora, a new optimizer for training neural networks that addresses a structural flaw in the widely-used Muon optimizer. The flaw quietly kills off a significant fraction of MLP neurons during training and keeps them permanently dead. Aurora comes with a 1.1B parameter pretraining experiment, a new state-of-the-art result on […]
