Automated reasoning switches and artifact pollution in AI systems
By
–
Yes, the most naive way of doing this is an automated reasoning switch like old Claude or KAT-V1 (
https://
arxiv.org/abs/2507.08297). But artifacts from reasoning always pollute non-reasoning tasks. This is a bigger issue imo. -

Hunyuan 7B Limitations: Manual Hybrid Reasoning Performance Issues
By
–
Very grateful for Hunyuan 7B, but it makes me increasingly skeptical about manual hybrid reasoning. Is it something that you personally use? In my experience, it's not user-friendly, consistently underperforms larger models, and catastrophically reduces chat capabilities.

BERT CPU Model Powers Smart Home Interface with Function Calling
By
–
It's super fun to use a BERT-sized model that can run on a CPU and power a smart home interface. Also, we ranted a bit about function calling templates with a comparison between JSON and Python. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂

LFM2 Constrained Generation Smart Home Control Demo
By
–
LFM2 Outlines Constrained generation is amazing to squeeze more performance from tiny models. We just released a blog post with @remilouf with a smart home control demo. We used LFM2-350M to save notes, close blinds, and handle displays.

Oh no, it's a non-reasoning model. So it's even more interesting, but for the opposite reasons… Sorry about this mistake. 🙁
