Model Self-Reports Leave an Internal Signature

A controlled study finds that faithful reports about learned preferences reuse more of the computation behind a model's decisions. The result suggests a white-box test for grounding, within narrow limits.

Synthetic Data Teaches a Model to Learn Languages

A 300-million-parameter transformer trained without natural language adapts to six real languages inside its context window. The experiment isolates learning strategy from memorised text.

Telegraphese Cuts Tokens in Agent Handoffs

A public benchmark finds that one instruction can make several models write machine-readable records with roughly half as many output tokens. The technique fails when applied during active reasoning.

More reasoning does not reduce model bias

A 12,350-call study found no reliable decline in six cognitive-bias measures as models consumed more reasoning tokens. One direct prompt helped with anchoring.

Warm Compaction reuses cache for agent memory

The Apache-2.0 Hermes Agent plugin asks the main model to summarize a cached conversation prefix, cutting repeated prompt processing in its tests.
