Reliable Tool Calls Matter More Than Frontier Model Reasoning
By
–
Grouping and archiving rules barely need a frontier model, they need reliable tool calls. Codex made email fun because the tool-call loop finally works, not because the underlying reasoning jumped.

Deep Stack Attention Hijacking: Beyond Prompt Injection Vulnerabilities
By
–
a lot of injection research focuses on the prompt surface and misses that the vulnerability is actually in how routing attention gets hijacked deep in the stack

AI Model Distillation: How Stronger Models Train Weaker Ones
By
–
Everyone is accusing everyone of “stealing AI”
But almost nobody is explaining what’s actually happening. Distillation. → Query a stronger model at scale
→ Collect outputs (reasoning, code, decisions)
→ Train your own to imitate it No weights. Just behavior. This worked in -

Testing Novel vs Memorized Capabilities in AI Models
By

Curious if they'd actually run it, would be the cleanest test of "novel" vs "memorized" so far.
