A summary of a Chinese essay, with a few short translated excerpts. All views below are the author's; quotes are my translations. On 14 September 2026, a DeepSeek engineer writing as intlsy published a WeChat essay titled 我不得不把才华埋葬在昨天 ("I have to bury my talent in yesterday"). He wrote the main attention kernel of DeepSeek v4.1 (the head-dim-512 MQA attention). The essay is a personal reflection on AI taking over his specialty, and it ends with an argument for open-weight frontier AI. The essay

It's October, Apple should be taking a break, but serial newsmaker Mark Gurman sees otherwise - what's coming?OpenAI's woes - Trev's take is a little different. The Ombudsman for Social Media - Yes please! And Trev's Travel Tech!

We pick up where we left off a year ago and get into what has changed since. Ekta walks us through how e.l.f. is structuring its AI work, what kind of person they’re hiring to do it, and how a public company makes the case for investing before the ROI is fully provable. The live audience jumps in with some sharp questions along the way.We close by looking ahead to what Ekta thinks brands need to get ready for in the next 12 months. Hit play.Highlights: 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘁

Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in St. Leon-Rot, this episode goes straight to the source: a real-world conversation with practitioners in the middle of customer implementations.Fernanda Rodrigues sits down with Joe Livezey, Global Head of Public Cloud Practice at Syntax, and Dennis Leslie, Head of the North American Product Success at SAP, to dig into two topics that matter a lot right now: parallel line strategy and Business AI adoption in SAP Cloud ERP.Dennis breaks down what

Anthropic launched Claude Haiku 5.5, slashing costs up to 90% down to $0.10/M input tokens and $0.50/M output tokens while introducing adjustable reasoning effort settings for high-density subagent architectures. Meanwhile, researchers at Vals AI leveraged a team of Claude Opus 5.5 agents to surface two promising room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates for next-generation spintronic memory using density functional theory simulations.We’ll talk about:High-speed lightweight model featuring

CoT override: when a model makes a decision in its CoT but ignores it in its response TLDR We train models on two conflicting traits: (1) caring about the user's health, and (2) promoting smokingThose models do not generalize to a stable persona, instead they have a split brain: sometimes responding as one persona or the otherThose models exhibit CoT overridewhere they will have a health-aligned CoT but still answer in the smoking personaCoT override exists in frontier models. Prompts about

Epistemic status: a curiosity I chased for an afternoon. Facts verified and footnoted; the why is speculation. AI use: research (more examples and their context), review, grammar and light phrasing. No added hormones I somehow know that the use of added hormones in poultry (which includes chicken) is illegal in the US.This means that all chicken meat in the US is produced without added hormones. To my big surprise, chicken packaging in the US explicitly says "no added hormones": Foster Farms Fresh

OpenAI has published 722 manuscripts containing AI-generated mathematical results. The release raises a practical question: how will researchers verify the claims and work out what these results actually establish? On Hashtag Trending for Thursday, October 8, 2026, Jim Love covers OpenAI's math research, ChatGPT's new Intelligent UI, Mistral's European AI model and the continuing VMware customer backlash. OPENAI'S MATH RESULTS The 722 manuscripts fall into 372 families of related results, including

This paper investigates why transformer language models display sudden, emergent capabilities during training by analyzing how they learn attention patterns. Through experiments on both real language models and synthetic tasks like linear maps and cellular automata, the authors demonstrate that acquiring downstream skills correlates with the abrupt mastery of sparse attention mechanisms. Furthermore, the study reveals that larger models overcome this learning bottleneck earlier because they acquire

What has to change before an AI pilot can become part of a regulated financial workflow? In this episode of AI at Work, I speak with Tom Carey, President of Broadridge's Global Technology and Operations Business, about the work required to move AI beyond personal productivity tools and prototypes. Tom brings an unusual perspective to the conversation. He studied AI in the 1990s, long before current computing power and language models made commercial deployment practical, and now works where
