When Will The Benchmaxxing Plague End? — Nick Heiner, Surge AI Aug 2, 2026 · 17:25 Benchmarking often suffers from contamination, reward hacking, and misalignment between prompts and verifiers. To improve AI evaluation, domain expertise and rigorous QC are essential.

Recent signals

Recursive Language Models — Alex Zhang, MIT PhD Oct 2, 2026 · 1:43:25 The future of AI lies not just in bigger models, but in better harnesses. RLMs and multi-agent swarms show how programmatic wrappers can unlock compositional generalization, making the system architecture the most critical component. Bringing Continual Learning into Enterprises — Samuel Denton, Applied Compute Aug 12, 2026 · 19:03 Learn how Applied Compute brings continual learning to enterprises using a 2x2 distillation spectrum. Discover how online hinting and per-step guidance can boost agent performance from 15% to 80% without golden answers. Stanford CS329A Self-Improving AI Agents | Part 2 | Test-Time Compute Scaling Aug 3, 2026 · 1:03:21 This lecture examines test-time compute scaling, showing how repeated sampling and advanced architectures like Arkon can boost model performance without retraining. It covers power laws and optimizing inference pipelines.
