Neurosymbolic AI Vindication: Beyond Pure Language Models

–
it’s surely NOT a pure LLM (eg heavily uses symbolic tools and is hardcoded to do so), and surely includes neurosymbolic components, so it is to some degree vindication for my central claims.

Flu vaccine reduces Alzheimer’s risk by 55% in large study
By
–
💉 Want to reduce the risk of Alzheimer' by 55%? A simple flu shot at the dosage recommended by the CDC for those 65 and older should do the trick. With 165,000 people in the study, they also found a dose response — the lower dose flu vaccine led to a 40% reduce risk of AD. Steve Jurvetson (@FutureJurvetson) Just finished a watershed board meeting at Centivax. CEO Jake Glanville is holding the first vial of universal vaccine, now in clinical trials. In the long arc of human history, pathogens have killed >50% of humans that ever lived — over 50 Billion dead. Nothing else comes close. This huge painting by Andrew Turner adorns the entryway. We have better tools than ever before to eradicate pathogens. We are hopeful that Centivax's universal vaccine programs will end the scourge of malaria, herpesviruses, coronaviruses, influenza and more. — https://nitter.net/FutureJurvetson/status/2022430383426670984#m

link to @HeidyKhlaaf’s sharp analysis: Dr Heidy Khlaaf (هايدي خلاف) (@HeidyKhlaaf) As someone who has audited dozens of safety-critical systems, built static analysis tools, and used most formal verification and security tools, here are some red flags that should be a caution in taking these claims at face value: 1. There are no comparison benchmarks with 1/ — https://nitter.net/HeidyKhlaaf/status/2041591737563394442#m

Meta’s Muse Spark competes with frontier AI models on FrontierMath

Didn't expect Meta's model to outperform Opus 4.6 or GPT-5.4.
— Chubby♨️ (@kimmonismus) 8 avril 2026
But it still surprises me how well it performs and how close it is to other frontier models on toughest challenges. https://t.co/p7mKtDuj3f pic.twitter.com/TiQLRI5EHdDidn't expect Meta's model to outperform Opus 4.6 or GPT-5.4. But it still surprises me how well it performs and how close it is to other frontier models on toughest challenges. Epoch AI (@EpochAIResearch) We had pre-release access to Meta’s new Muse Spark model and evaluated it on FrontierMath. It scored 39% on Tiers 1-3 and 15% on Tier 4. This is competitive with several recent frontier models, though behind GPT-5.4. — https://nitter.net/EpochAIResearch/status/2041947954202988757#m

this is interesting.

1. Did Anthropic forget to run a control?
2. Where does this leave us? https://t.co/frF8gNNrvOthis is interesting. 1. Did Anthropic forget to run a control? 2. Where does this leave us? Stanislav Fort (@stanislavfort) New post: We tested the Mythos showcase vulnerabilities with open models. They recovered similar scoped analysis! 8/8 models found the flagship FreeBSD zero-day, including a 3B model. Rankings reshuffle completely across tasks => the AI cybersecurity frontier is super jagged! — https://nitter.net/stanislavfort/status/2041922370206654879#m
