Agent Overload, Blind Attention, Unsafe Traces
Three new papers show that more agent components backfire, reasoning models hide unsafe thinking, and vision-language models waste most of their attention.
Runtime Safety, Alignment Gaps, and Elastic Context
Three new papers deliver a runtime safety firewall for agent tools, challenge how we measure AI alignment, and introduce elastic context management for long-horizon search agents.
Agent Memory in 2026: Circuits, Tiers, Evolution
Three new papers reveal how agent memory silently breaks, how a tiered architecture recovers it, and how models can self-improve without human labels.
Misalignment Geometry, LLM Math, and How Llama Counts
Three new papers reveal how fine-tuning misfires through feature geometry, how Llama secretly counts months, and how LLMs solved open combinatorics problems for under $30 each.
Mayo Clinic AI Spots Pancreatic Cancer 3 Years Early
REDMOD, Mayo Clinic's radiomics AI, detects 73% of pancreatic cancers in CT scans that look normal to radiologists - nearly double the rate specialists achieve.
Tool-Use Tax, Jailbreak Risk, and Robot Vision
Three new papers: tools slow LLM agents under noisy prompts, jailbreaks barely dent frontier model capabilities, and interleaved text-vision traces push robot success to 95.5%.
OpenAI o1 Outperforms ER Doctors in Harvard Trial
A peer-reviewed Science study puts OpenAI o1 through 76 live emergency room cases - and the model beats expert physicians on initial triage with 67.1% accuracy against 55% and 50%.
Prompt Traps, Swarm Failures, and AI-Discovered Physics
Three new papers reveal when few-shot examples hurt scientific reasoning, why homogeneous agent swarms lock in errors, and how an AI autonomously found a novel physical mechanism.
Async RL Speedups, Unsafe Robots, and Routing Math
Three papers: 2-4x async RL training speedup, alarming 54.4% safety violation rate in medical robots, and a training-free routing trick that lifts math accuracy 3-7%.
Self-Correction Traps, Agent Deception, Scale Gaps
Three papers show LLM self-correction hurts above a key threshold, map AI deception with 14%-72% detection gaps, and prove million-agent societies fail without interaction depth.
