BIG new idea in interpretability called Patterning The basic idea: given a desired generalization/structure, determine what training data produces it So they treat what circuits/algorithms the model learns as something you can solve for by measuring how sensitive those internal

LLM Sandbox Unlocks General Agentic Intelligence Without Code
By
–
"LLM-in-Sandbox Elicits General Agentic Intelligence" This paper shows that giving an LLM a virtual computer it can browse, write files, and run code, instead of only generating text, can unlock general agent behavior and increase performance across non-code domains WITHOUT

Test-Time Learning: RL Discovers Solutions During Inference
By
–
Learning to Discover at Test Time This paper TTT-Discover shows that by replacing best-of-N prompting with RL at test time on a continuous verifiable reward (via LoRA), it can learn from its own attempts and reliably push past the prior performance. The “learn-while-solving”

Qwen3-TTS Open-Source Real-Time Voice Stack Released
By
–
Qwen3-TTS just cracked open-source TTS! Qwen3-TTS turns a Qwen3 LM into an instruction-steerable real-time voice stack by jointly training a speaker encoder + a dual-track text/acoustic token backbone Under the hood, it uses hierarchical multi-token prediction over RVQ

Visual Tokenizers Enhanced: Semantic Objectives Beyond VAE Pixel-Level Accuracy
By
–
VAE-only visual tokenizers has hit a wall for diffusion, as better pixel-level accuracy does NOT lead to higher-quality generation To be truly effective, this MiniMax paper adds semantic objectives via CLIP + self-supervision during tokenizer pretraining, having the latent space
