Claude Fable 5 (max) scores 91.9% on WeirdML, a new clear best score. For comparison, if we take the SOTA score on each task, we would get 93.5%, so Fable very consistently scores within a few % of the SOTA in each individual run. It achieves SOTA on 7 of the 17 tasks, and the single worst run is only 7% behind the SOTA. It got only 2 runs per task (as opposed to the usual 5), which makes it more impressive that it gets to SOTA in so many tasks (but also makes it easier to avoid one or two bad runs). I'll show more stats soon.



about time we got jarvis at home. i want real-time interactive communication with a multi-modal, reasoning-augmented, tool-using, frontier-level intelligent assistant. it should be able to seamlessly transition cross-platform and have a basic level of control at least similar to siri/google-assistant. from the teasers it seems like gpt-5 will be going in this direction (4o was a very limited PoC), although i'm somewhat more bullish on google wrt deep ecosystem integration.


Research produced by LLMs tends to be combinatorial - a synthesis of ideas that already exist in the literature, rather than something truly original. Ofc, only a very small number of researchers produce "truly original" ideas! Terry Tao has lately been remarking that perhaps human researchers need to reevaluate how our own brains do research - maybe it's more combinatorial and less original than we thought! For RSI, there are many old NN and AI ideas that remain to be combined and tested in modern model architectures. Schmidhuber makes this point all the time. In my view, models will someday be able to improve themselves even if they are not as original as the best human researchers.

OpenAI は人間の上位者が最終的に到達した二つの解法を経由し、良い部分を組み合わせたような、新解法に到達しました。 これは作問者である私の想像を遥かに超える高度なものでした。昨年2 位だったので今年の 1 位自体にはそこまで驚きはないかもしれませんが、内容には非常に大きな進歩を感じます。



hypothesis: the writing styles of language models are basically fine, they weren’t better in some halcyon before times. we just use them so much that we get annoyed by their mannerisms. they need to have a superhumanly diverse idiolect to not become grating
