After spending the last few weeks reading through the reasoning literature, I noticed a trend that seems worth discussing. For the past 2–3 years, a large fraction of progress in LLM reasoning came from making models generate more intermediate thoughts. Chain-of-Thought prompting (Wei et al., 2022) pushed PaLM 540B from roughly 18% to 58% on GSM8K. Self-Consistency added another 17.9 percentage points by exploring multiple reasoning paths before committing to an answer. Tree-of-Thoughts later showed that GPT-4's success rate on Game of 24 could jump from 4% to 74% when reasoning was reformulated as search rather than a single chain. DeepSeek-R1 and OpenAI's o1 pushed the idea even further by allocating substantial test-time compute to reasoning itself. Taken together, these results seemed to point in the same direction: giving models additional reasoning trajectories, search paths, or thinking steps often improved outcomes. Recent work increasingly asks whether those traces are actually necessary. Quiet-STaR doesnt treat reasoning traces primarily as explanations for humans. Instead, it trains models to generate internal rationales that improve future token prediction. COCONUT goes a step further and asks a more radical question: why force reasoning to be represented as language at all? Rather than generating reasoning tokens, it feeds continuous hidden states back into the model and performs reasoning directly in latent space. Fast Quiet-STaR then shows that some of the benefits of explicit reasoning can be retained even after removing thought-token generation during inference. This feels like a meaningful shift in research direction. For a while, the field seemed focused on making reasoning more visible. Recent work increasingly explores whether visibility is actually necessary. One way to interpret this is that Chain-of-Thought was never the reasoning process itself. It was a computational scaffold. Transformers perform a fixed amount of computation per generated

PM at a mid-size startup here. Didn’t really notice how bad it got until this week. My workflow now: • Claude for ideation • ChatGPT for rewriting specs • Cursor for implementation • Perplexity for research • Notion AI for docs • Atoms AI for larger tasks None of these tools actually replaced my work. They just redistributed it. I’m still the one dragging context between all of them.Yesterday I literally caught myself pasting the exact same requirement into 4 different tools and thinking… this can’t be how it’s supposed to work. I don’t even think any single tool is bad. It just feels like we hired 6 smart interns and completely forgot to get a manager. submitted by /u/Dangerous-Guava-9232 [link] [留言]

I build and teach this, so here's the honest mechanics, not the hype. Build one consistent AI character (custom-trained, not just prompting), run it as a social presence, monetize on platforms that allow AI. The edge isn't quality vs humans — it's near-zero content cost, no burnout, horizontal scaling. The underrated hard part: consistency is genuinely difficult, and the money is in audience relationship management, not the content. The content's the easy 20%. Broader signal: when content cost hits zero, the bottleneck becomes distribution and trust. Applies way past this niche. Happy to go deeper on any part — it's what I do daily. submitted by /u/PoleTV [link] [留言]

The Air succeeds as a minimalist, reliable fitness tracker, but Google's AI Health Coach feels unnecessary.

Hey guys. I saw a post on Instagram saying that tripo ai is holding a rendering challenge and the theme is “Out There”. This made me think about how AI-generated 3D models might change the rendering challenges. In a traditional rendering challenge most of the work focuses on modeling, resource creation, texture processing and scene setup. However with Tripo AI the process of generating 3D resources can become much faster. This made me think if the real challenges has shifted elsewhere. if everyone could generate models faster then what does the good rendering depend on? Art direction? Composition? Lighting? Camera position? storytelling? atmosphere? or clarity of idea communication? The rule of this challenge not only require to create objects with a beautiful appearance but also to create a scene that is larger, more profound, or more meaningful than what is actually before your eyes. I would really like to hear the opinions of those friends who are interested in AI-generated 3D. Do you think rendering challenge will be more dependent on technical ability or more focused on directionality and creativity? submitted by /u/babyb01 [link] [留言]

Microsoft’s AI products aren’t selling and Github’s been plagued with troubles. WIRED spoke with VP Scott Hanselman about whether the company is in catch-up mode.

Everyone keeps saying we have to use AI, that it’s revolutionary and I totally agree, it saves a ton of time. But there’s a problem with that: it saves so much time that we don’t even pay attention to the data we’re sending to AI, names, passwords, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, we send it all under the pretext of saving time. The problem is that we’re giving it away; we’re sending it to companies whose last concern is our privacy. Imagine you start talking about your eight-year-old child’s health issues to an AI using their full name. You can be sure you’ll get targeted ads about those health issues, and that your son will later see the same hyper-targeted ads. The biggest problem with AI isn’t that it makes us stupid, it’s that it further erodes our privacy. That’s why we created ONYRI Sanitize , the goal is to anonymize your data before sending it to the AI. It’s a project I created with my best friend; it’s taken us two months so far. The detection system has a 95% success rate on data from the United States and France, and we’re working to integrate as many languages as possible while maintaining the highest possible detection rate. I'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts. Thanks, everyone 🙏 Have a great day ☀️ Alex submitted by /u/No_Computer_1247 [link] [留言]

We've been running AI across a team for about two years. Expected the hard parts to be the models. They weren't. The problem that cost us most early on was context. We had a system making customer-facing recommendations without access to the business-specific knowledge it needed to answer accurately. Spent too long trying to fix it at the prompt level. The context layer didn't exist, and prompting didn't fill that gap, it just made it less obvious until something downstream failed badly enough to trace back to it. That failure pushed us to map the other places where AI builds break structurally rather than technically. We found five more, and they kept showing up across different stacks and different team sizes in roughly the same order. The first is identity, when you move from one person's AI to a team's AI, shared context without role-based permissions either creates noise or recreates the same knowledge silos you were trying to escape. The second is decision memory, records of what was decided aren't the same as memory of why, and that gap compounds quietly until a new team member gets a confident wrong answer from a system referencing reasoning that was abandoned months ago. The third is attention. Dashboards only work if someone looks at them, and the failure mode of every dashboard ever built is the same: critical things slip through when life gets busy. The fourth is write-back. Manual logging is a tax on the busiest moments, and the more important the work, the less likely anyone stops to document it. The fifth is governance, when the same agent that builds something also evaluates it, that's not a check, it's a loop grading its own homework. The sixth is economics, at solo scale AI cost is a rounding error, at team scale you're looking at a vendor invoice with no way to connect spend to specific workflows or outcomes. Which of these have you hit? And did they show up in this order or did something else surface first? If you're interested, we turned these i

I kept shipping AI apps with no idea what was happening under the hood — prompts going in, responses coming out, costs creeping up, and zero visibility into any of it. So I built LogLens. Add one line of code and it logs every single AI call your app makes — the full prompt, completion, latency, token count, and cost — all in a clean dashboard. Works with Anthropic and OpenAI out of the box. No framework lock-in. npm install loglens const anthropic = wrapAnthropic(new Anthropic(), { apiKey: 'your-key' }) // that's it — every call is now logged Built the whole thing in ~48 hours using Claude Code. Still early but fully working.

Most powerful AI/agent tools nobody talks about, and it leaves you behind IMO 1. Instructor define a Pydantic model, get clean structured JSON out of any LLM every time → https://github.com/567-labs/instructor 2. Octopoda gives any AI agent persistent memory and catches it when it loops and quietly burns your tokens. open source → https://www.octopodas.com 3. E2B secure cloud sandboxes so your agent can actually run the code it writes without nuking your machine → https://e2b.dev 4. Firecrawl turn any website into clean, LLM-ready markdown in one API call → https://firecrawl.dev 5. Composio plug your agent into 1000+ apps (Gmail, Slack, GitHub) with the auth handled for you → https://composio.dev 6. LiteLLM one API for 100+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic and local, swap without rewriting a line → https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm what are yours, let me know and I will add it to the list next month! submitted by /u/DetectiveMindless652 [link] [留言]

On June 5, 404 Media reported that attackers had been using Meta’s AI customer support agent to steal Instagram accounts. Their approach was simple: They asked the agent to link the accounts to email addresses that they controlled, and the agent complied. One attacker broke into the dormant Obama White House account and made pro-Iran…

so anthropic just dropped a blog post calling for a global pause on frontier ai development, warning that models could start recursively self-improving and spiral beyond human control. sounds scary. sounds noble. let's talk about what's actually going on here. anthropic is reportedly eyeing a $1 trillion+ ipo, and they just happen to be the ones calling for everyone to stop building. analysts are already asking whether this is really just about freezing the status quo so they can hold their lead. putting it plainly: a pause helps anthropic keep its position and probably grow market share too. and here's where it gets a bit hypocritacal: over 80% of the code in anthropic's own codebase is now written by claude. they're absolutely running the playbook they want everyone else to put down. but the thing nobody's really talking about is regulatory capture. this is textbook. you become the dominant player, go to governments, say "this technology is dangerous, we need oversight, we're the responsible ones, let us help write the rules." suddenly the regulations that get passed only you can afford to comply with, locking in your architecture, your safety benchmarks, your evaluations. smaller competitors get crushed under compliance costs, open source gets kneecapped, and you get a moat that no vc cheque can cross. they compared it to nuclear arms control which sounds serious until you realise ai training is far easier to hide than a missile silo, so any agreement just punishes the people honest enough to follow it. the safety concerns might be real. but the timing, the ipo, the regulatory push is all hard to look at all that and not raise an eyebrow. submitted by /u/Complete-Sea6655 [link] [留言]
