Sakana AI's self-improving model gets better at solving and judging, but can't catch its own blind spots
Sakana AI's MASS method lets one language model improve itself by solving tasks, judging results, and refining workflows, reaching a win rate of nearly 70 percent against the base model after two rounds. But when the model misses the same errors across all three roles, it can mistake them for progress and reinforce them during training.

He started his speech with an account of a 73-year-old woman dying in North Wales after having to wait 23 hours for an ambulance, and he sought to link this to immigration. He said: The Royal College of Emergency Medicine estimates that 15,000 people across Britain died last year due to excess wait times for emergency treatment. That’s 300 people a week, 300 lives destroyed, 300 families devastated. And that number has increased tenfold over the last decade. This is a moral outrage, and it is a direct result of decisions made by Tory and Labour governments. I don’t think that’s because he wants to have a fight over the European Union. I think that’s because he knows what we’re talking about today impacts hard in what is known as the red wall. Continue reading...

Clearing chat history helps AI agents find better solutions
Microsoft researchers found that autonomous AI agents get trapped in what they call "idea basins" because of their growing chat context, local solution regions they can't escape. Their "Fork-and-Flush" method clears the chat history but keeps the workspace, achieving up to 66 percent better results on the same compute budget.
