我刚看见一个读了MIT硕士的说自己原生家庭差到离谱,就因为家里亲戚有一半不知道MIT这个学校😅


New w/ @leomschwartz @amir: The Trump admin has asked OpenAI to stagger the release of GPT-5.6 over security concerns. On Thursday, CEO Sam Altman told staff that the government will be approving access to GPT-5.6 customer by customer, a highly unusual approach.

I'm joining OpenAI next week!🥹 The job search turned out to be really challenging but also super rewarding, so I wrote a small blog to share what I learned along the way and hopefully make the process a little less mysterious for the next person. alisawuffles.github.io/blog/job-search

There’s a big misconception about how GLM 5.2 was trained. Yes, they distilled Claude and GPT 5.5 — but distillation is not how they matched Opus quality. Distillation only fixed the cold start problem in RL. RLing an agentic coding model isn’t rocket science. In simplified terms: 1. RL needs trajectories — rollouts where the model actually completed a task in some env 2. No successful trajectory on a task = zero gradient = you can’t RL it. This is the cold start problem 3. Distillation solves it. You seed your model with knowledge from a smarter one (Claude, GPT) on tasks it can’t do yet 4. Now it produces positive trajectories on those tasks 5. RL on those trajectories and hill climb agentic coding 6. At that point you no longer need to distill and can solely hill climb RL to better models This is an interesting curve. I’d argue it’s harder to get to Opus 4.8 from scratch than to go from Opus 4.8 → Fable/Mythos tier. GLM 5.2 is already producing positive trajectories, so they have plenty to RL on — they’ll keep climbing to Mythos quality without distilling any further. They no longer need American models.

Google is getting left behind. With this and the departure of some of their top talent this week... 100% unexpected, but still better than Meta 😂
