NEW paper worth reading: MetaCogAgent MetaCogAgent equips a multi-agent system with metacognition so each agent decides whether it should answer or delegate. In other words, it aims for self-aware tas
Every time I ask my 10-year-old to use coding agents, he gets extremely disappointed. It turns out that all he wants is to build his own rocket simulator. No amount of context engineering helps. No mo

Are your benchmarks actually measuring the capability you think they measure? New paper says they probably not. Coined the 'The Evaluation Trap', it provides a vocabulary for auditing whether your eva
Interesting interpretability paper on tool-using agents. The authors probe hidden states and find the model often recognizes it should call a tool, but fails to actually call one. The mismatch ranges

Interesting position paper on agentic AI as a foreseeable pathway to AGI. (bookmark it) There has been strong debate on whether a larger single model get us there or a multi-agent system. The authors
Do multi-agent systems make LLM reasoning better? Most AI devs assume that it should. But this new paper shows that this is often not the case. It ran 22,500 deterministic trajectories across GAIA, SW
HTML Artifacts are a big part of how I work with agents now. Artifacts can be more than just static files. When combined with agents, they can take action or help you take action. This unlocks all kin
// δ-mem: Efficient Online Memory for LLMs // One of the more elegant memory mechanisms I've seen this month. Most long-term memory work either inflates context or retrains the model. This paper shows
Cool idea from Nous Research. What if you could speed up long-context pretraining with a subquadratic wrapper that you remove before deployment? That is the idea behind Lighthouse Attention. The metho
NEW paper from Google DeepMind. (bookmark it) AI Co-Mathematician is an agentic research workbench for mathematicians, and it just hit 48% on FrontierMath Tier 4, a new high score among AI systems eva
Pay attention to this one if you build research or knowledge-work agents. Most research-agent systems produce uniform outputs regardless of who is driving them. This new work, NanoResearch, argues tha
Cool paper from PwC. 'Earlier is always better' is the default intuition for agent clarification. New paper claims that's mostly wrong. Goal clarification loses nearly all of its value after just 10%
Great essay by Tobi. Building an AI-native company? Go read it now. I couldn't resist visualizing it with my artifact generator. Biggest takeaway for me: 'The risk isn't that AI does the work. It's th

Cool paper from Meta FAIR. It's on self-improving LLMs but on the pretraining side. (bookmark it) Most LLM safety, factuality, and reasoning fixes get bolted on at post-training. By then, the patterns
I have been testing DeepSeek-V4-Pro with the Pi coding agent. I am mindblown by how well it works out of the box. A few notes: I spent a few hours building an LLM wiki with an agent powered entirely b

You don't have to choose between either. It's best to use a combination of them. My advice is to learn how to use a few of these models in different harnesses. Learn to combine their strengths. Open-w

'AI should elevate your thinking, not replace it.' I don't disagree, but the issue is that current LLMs are not really trained to support that out of the box. I've solved this by building my own agent
Don't try to build a self-improving AI agent without evals. You are just wasting time and compute. An agent can't improve from traces it can't evaluate. This is why it's exciting to see @FutureAGI_ go
How do AI Agents spend your money? Most teams treat agent token costs as a rounding error even though the data says they shouldn't. New paper presents the first systematic study of how agents actually
