Autogenesis: AI agents rewrite themselves without human help
By
–
AI agents can now rewrite themselves without human help. Most AI agents stop improving the moment they ship. New tools arrive, environments shift, and the agent stays frozen in time. ' Retraining is expensive and human patches are brittle. A new paper called Autogenesis

Voice AI Accuracy Gap: Async Benchmarks 81.2% Sentence-Level Performance
By
–
The accuracy gap in production voice AI is wider than most people realize. Async’s benchmark on non-standard text shows 81.2% sentence-level accuracy and 88.6% unit-level accuracy, tested on 2,200+ non-standard words in true real-time streaming. No preprocessing. No text

AI Labs Shift Focus to Smarter Pretraining Over Test-Time Reasoning
By
–
Quick update to GPT-5.5 / Spud: AI labs are shifting back toward making models smarter during pretraining rather than leaning on reasoning (test-time compute) to boost performance. OpenAI's Spud and Anthropic's Mythos both appear to reflect this trend, getting better answers
