An Alien Mind

Publisher preview

In mid-2023, within the “RLSlow” research project, we saw the first results that gave us confidence that we will be able to scale the training of reasoning models, unlocking the capability of pretrained models to form their own chains of thought. Szymon and I spent that night at the office, thinking not about the incredible benchmark numbers, products, or scientific results that this technology will deliver - but rather, trying to process the sobering fact we will actually see machines meaningfully smarter than ourselves in our lifetime, and we already…

Research acceleration: The view inside OpenAI

Publisher preview

For AGI to benefit all of humanity, we believe it must be democratically governed. This can only happen through an informed public debate about the capabilities, risks and safeguards of highly capable AI systems. People everywhere need to understand the likely future trajectory of frontier AI, so they can have a meaningful voice in how it develops. Transparency about specific risks, incidents and safeguards is necessary, but not sufficient. We believe the public also needs to understand how the most capable systems are developing, and how they are driving research…

NeoMME: an efficient Multimodal-native and Multilingual Encoder

Publisher preview

We introduce NeoMME, a family of 260M and 800M multilingual multimodal encoders. Unlike many generative visual language models, NeoMME does not use a separate pretrained vision tower or a causal language model. A single bidirectional Transformer processes both text tokens and raw image patches, and we train the entire model from scratch with a masked discrete-diffusion objective. We fine-tuned NeoMME for visual document retrieval using ColPali's page-image approach. NeoMME-Retriever returns dense and late-interaction embeddings in one forward pass. Both model sizes lie on the ViDoRe v3 Pareto frontier for nDCG@10…

Playco cut manual fixes 50% prototyping games with GPT-6 Astra

Publisher preview

Using GPT‑6 Astra, Playco built three themed game prototypes from one grey box foundation, with most working on the first take. Playco is using GPT‑6 Astra in building Playbot, an AI-powered IDE for professional game developers. It connects directly to engines such as Unity and Godot so AI models can edit scenes, play and test games, validate changes, and work in parallel inside the tools developers already use. In game development, a model needs to do more than write code. It must reason about space, visual references, responsive interfaces, game…

Training a coding model to paint watercolours with TRL and OpenEnv

Publisher preview

On 23 August, Surya Narreddi posted a beautiful video of watercolours painted by a language model. The model writes JavaScript through p5.brush, a library that "adds natural drawing tools to p5.js". The video went viral fast, over 1.5M views at the time of writing. The video came with a blog post explaining the training behind an earlier and narrower stage of the project, close-up flowers rather than the full compositions in the video, sadly without open artifacts yet. His site says a full technical report is coming, so ensure you…

Give Your Coding Agents a Memory You Own

Publisher preview

Earlier this year, Software Forgets: Agent Traces Are the Memory made the case that coding agents already produce the record we keep losing. As they search a codebase, try approaches, hit errors, read documentation, and change direction, they leave behind a dense account of not just what changed, but why. While the diagnosis is correct, traces are only potential memory. The session logs of an agent are still just an archive. You cannot grep your way to “why did we move off the streaming parser?” across ten thousand turns. For…
