Project Glasswing - Anthropic has crossed a line Thoughts as a former IT infrastructure dude on Anthropic's new cybersecurity risk.

According to this post (from David Shapiro), Anthropic's Mythos model has 10 trillion parameters and uses a mixture-of-experts architecture. I don't know about all of you but -- 10 trillion parameters! Holy moly, I had no idea models had gotten that large.

GitHub - deepseek-ai/Engram: Conditional Memory via Scalable Lookup: A New Axis of Sparsity for Large Language Models Conditional Memory via Scalable Lookup: A New Axis of Sparsity for Large Language Models - deepseek-ai/Engram

DeepSeek came out with a new model architecture called Engram. The idea is to create a memory system for the transformer architecture in neural networks by grouping together N tokens into "N-grams", then use a "lightweight multiplicative-XOR hash".

LLMs can get "brain rot"!

This actually came out last October but I only just found out about it.

An experiment was done where LLMs were trained on "brain rot" data, and it degraded their reasoning abilities.

The Sleep Protocol Problem Why LLM memory consolidation fails by design - and what actually works instead

"I've spent the last six months testing what seemed like a genuinely good idea: a sleep protocol for LLMs."

"It doesn't work."

Could it be that epistemology is difficult, even for AI?
