Diffusion language models develop 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥⏱️

Despite receiving no explicit timestep, mask-based DLMs encode denoising progress in a low-dimensional latent structure. We can steer this clock predictably and watch the model correct perturbations across layers.

Currently at #acl2026 main conference and it is so impressive how language models and the intersection with multimodal are advancing quickly! But I am especially excited to see realities such as #abakaai helping advancing the AI field with data solutions!

Interpretability methods usually study single-token behavior.

But real model behaviors, like sycophancy or writing style, are diffuse across many tokens.

Can these diffuse behaviors be localized and controlled from long-form responses? YES!

Happy weekend to those who celebrate

Why use LLM-as-a-judge when you can get the same performance for 15–500x cheaper?

Our new research with @RakutenGroup on PII detection finds that SAE probes:
- transfer from synthetic to real data better than normal probes
- match GPT-5 Mini performance at 1/15 the cost

New paper! We reverse engineered the mechanisms underlying Claude Haiku’s ability to perform a simple “perceptual” task. We discover beautiful feature families and manifolds, clean geometric transformations, and distributed attention algorithms!

🚨IT'S HAPPENING🚨

a woman who cannot speak now speaks through her brain, in real time, with her own voice.

no typing, delay, or sounds made.

just neural intent to streaming speech
this isn’t prediction. it’s embodiment

We knew very little about how LLMs actually work...until now.

@AnthropicAI just dropped the most insane research paper, detailing some of the ways AI "thinks."

And it's completely different than we thought.

Here are their wild findings: 🧵

Gemstone for computer scientists, delightful for mathematicians, fascinating for anyone who wants to know how algorithms can change lives, and how they already did💭

Finally, something good about gamification. It's a concept that I studied both in my bachelor thesis work and this book: It was a long and difficult journey, but also a fascinating one.
Needless to say: Yu-Kai knows how to explain things.

Shihei Lin, editor of Chainsaw Man, has commented that Tatsuki Fujimoto has taken part in the planning, composition, scripting, and storyboarding of the Chainsaw Man TV Anime adaptation.

He also expresses thanks for all the enthusiasm from the animation staff during the process.
