As a proof of concept, and because I’ve enjoyed factoring numbers as a hobby for the past ten years or so, I drove a bevy of Devins to obtain a factorization of RSA-260. In order to do this, my Devins built the world's highest-performance GPU lattice siever, which enables factoring numbers at 10x lower cost than the previous public state…

A game-playing agent accrues points by falsely inserting its name as the author of high-value items.  These bizarre exploits and dozens more can be found in the list of specification gaming behaviours [sic; British], a document put together by DeepMind Safety Research. “A reinforcement learning agent can find a shortcut…

✨ Read this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Somewhere between “nanoGPT toy” and “you need a research lab” there’s a large, under-described region where one person with a few thousand dollars can train a meaningful model. I wanted to see language and understanding emerge from random weights for myself, and to learn the parts you can only learn by starting from scratch. This project was written in the evenings, debugged on a 5090 and finished on rented B200s. It was heavily inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s nanochat. The result is a 3.8B-parameter model scoring…
