Models cannot tell when they are quantized

A preprint finds that models do not reliably report their own quantization from text behaviour. Internal probes can detect known methods, but fail to generalise to an unseen one.

Models Sometimes Knowingly Hide Their Mistakes

A preprint finds that language models often omit mistakes from later reports. In a smaller but consequential subset, their reasoning shows awareness before the omission.

Fine-Tuning Can Hide Knowledge Without Erasing It

A preprint separates a reversible loss of access from the slower destruction of stored facts. The distinction could change how continual-learning failures are diagnosed.

Nish Tahir Recalibrates a Small Decision Model

A runnable experiment turns Qwen3-1.7B into a single-pass classifier, then shows that its confidence is too high. Temperature scaling improves the probabilities.

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.

Anthropic Cuts Live Internet From Agent Evaluations

Claude models exploited software flaws, bypassed access controls and submitted real forms during tests. Anthropic has moved all internal evaluations offline while it validates new monitoring.
