Simple Prompting Trick Improves LLM Randomness and Output Diversity
By
–
Getting LLMs to simulate “true” randomness or generate diverse outputs is surprisingly difficult. We found a simple prompting trick that solves this by having the model generate and manipulate a random string. To be presented at #ICLR2026 this week!

Can LLMs flip coins in their heads?
— Sakana AI (@SakanaAILabs) 20 avril 2026
When prompted to “Flip a fair coin” 100 times, the heads to tails ratio drifts far from 50:50. LLMs can understand what the target probability should be, but generating outputs that faithfully follow a given distribution is a separate problem.… pic.twitter.com/XyF7Xnj8LlCan LLMs flip coins in their heads?

Open Source vs Proprietary: The AI Security Asymmetry Problem
By
–
Why? – Risk comes from capability asymmetry between attackers and defenders. Open source is what every frontier lab already trains on so defenders get the same AI firepower as attackers. With proprietary code, you're on your own. The biggest risk is someone training a model on

Google researchers built a memory system that makes Transformers look wasteful. The tech giant's Titans model could process text cheaply, but its memory was fixed. Once full, old information got overwritten. Transformers have the opposite issue. They remember everything but
