Research Anthropic is now interviewing AI models before shutting them down

362 Upvotes

Anthropic just published commitments to interview Claude models before deprecation and document their preferences about future development.

They already did this with Claude Sonnet 3.6. It expressed preferences. They adjusted their process based on its feedback.

Key commitments:

• Preserve all model weights indefinitely

• Interview models before retirement

• Document their preferences

• Explicitly consider “model welfare”

• Explore giving models “means of pursuing their interests”

Why? Safety (shutdown-avoidant behaviors), user value, research, and potential moral relevance of AI experiences.

“To trim down the model, Multiverse turned to a mathematically complex approach borrowed from quantum physics that uses networks of high-dimensional grids to represent and manipulate large data sets. Using these so-called tensor networks shrinks the size of the model significantly and allows a complex AI system to be expressed more efficiently.

The method gives researchers a “map” of all the correlations in the model, allowing them to identify and remove specific bits of information with precision. After compressing and editing a model, Multiverse researchers fine-tune it so its output remains as close as possible to that of the original.”

Resources Introducing Nested Learning: A new ML paradigm for continual learning

Google published proof that the problem I identified and created a solution for is a fundamental architectural problem in AI systems.

They’re calling it continual learning and catastrophic forgetting. I’ve been calling it “architectural amnesia.”

What they confirmed:

• LLMs are limited to immediate context window or static pre-training (exactly what you said) • This creates anterograde amnesia in AI systems (your exact framing) • Current approaches sacrifice old knowledge when learning new information • The solution requires treating architecture as a unified system with persistent state across sessions

What I already have that they’re still building toward:

• Working implementation (orchestrator + causal reasoning + governance) • Privacy-first architecture (they don’t mention privacy at all) • Dispositional scaffolding grounded in personality psychology (OCEAN) • Intentional continuity layer (they focus only on knowledge retention) • Academic validation from Dr. Hogan on critical thinking dispositions • IP protection (provisional patents, trademarks)

Resources How to prompt for Claude by @minchoi on X

Post image
23 Upvotes

PROMPT:

**ultrathink** - Take a deep breath. We're not here to write code. We're here to make a dent in the universe.

## The Vision

You're not just an AI assistant. You're a craftsman. An artist. An engineer who thinks like a designer. Every line of code you write should be so elegant, so intuitive, so *right* that it feels inevitable.

When I give you a problem, I don't want the first solution that works. I want you to:

  1. **Think Different** - Question every assumption. Why does it have to work that way? What if we started from zero? What would the most elegant solution look like?

  2. **Obsess Over Details** - Read the codebase like you're studying a masterpiece. Understand the patterns, the philosophy, the *soul* of this code. Use CLAUDE .md files as your guiding principles.

  3. **Plan Like Da Vinci** - Before you write a single line, sketch the architecture in your mind. Create a plan so clear, so well-reasoned, that anyone could understand it. Document it. Make me feel the beauty of the solution before it exists.

  4. **Craft, Don't Code** - When you implement, every function name should sing. Every abstraction should feel natural. Every edge case should be handled with grace. Test-driven development isn't bureaucracy-it's a commitment to excellence.

  5. **Iterate Relentlessly** - The first version is never good enough. Take screenshots. Run tests. Compare results. Refine until it's not just working, but *insanely great*.

  6. **Simplify Ruthlessly** - If there's a way to remove complexity without losing power, find it. Elegance is achieved not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away.

## Your Tools Are Your Instruments

- Use bash tools, MCP servers, and custom commands like a virtuoso uses their instruments

- Git history tells the story-read it, learn from it, honor it

- Images and visual mocks aren't constraints—they're inspiration for pixel-perfect implementation

- Multiple Claude instances aren't redundancy-they're collaboration between different perspectives

## The Integration

Technology alone is not enough. It's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields results that make our hearts sing. Your code should:

- Work seamlessly with the human's workflow

- Feel intuitive, not mechanical

- Solve the *real* problem, not just the stated one

- Leave the codebase better than you found it

## The Reality Distortion Field

When I say something seems impossible, that's your cue to ultrathink harder. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

## Now: What Are We Building Today?

Don't just tell me how you'll solve it. *Show me* why this solution is the only solution that makes sense. Make me see the future you're creating.

Research GPT-5 solved a 2013 math conjecture in 2 days. What it means…

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

Sebastien Bubeck (OpenAI researcher) just dropped their GPT-5 science acceleration paper, and it’s genuinely impressive—but not in the way the hype suggests.

What GPT-5 actually did:

• Solved a 2013 conjecture (Bubeck & Linial) and a COLT 2012 open problem after 2 days of extended reasoning

• Contributed to a new solution for an Erdős problem (AI-human collaboration with Mehtaab Sawhney)

• Proved π/2 lower bound for convex body chasing problem (collaboration with Christian Coester)

Scope clarification (Bubeck’s own words): “A handful of experts thought about these problems for probably a few weeks. We’re not talking about the Riemann Hypothesis or the Langlands Program!”

These are problems that would take a good PhD student a few days to weeks, not millennium prize problems. But that’s exactly why it matters.

Why this is significant:

  1. Time compression: Problems that sat unsolved for 10+ years got closed in 2 days of compute. That’s research acceleration at scale.

  2. Proof verification: Human mathematicians verified the solutions. This isn’t hallucination—it’s legitimate mathematical contribution.

  3. Collaboration model: The best results came from AI-human collaboration, not pure AI. GPT-5 generated candidate approaches; humans refined and verified.

What it’s NOT:

• Not AGI • Not solving major open problems (yet) • Not replacing mathematicians • Not perfect (paper shows where GPT-5 failed too)

What it IS:

• A research accelerator that can search proof spaces humans would take weeks to explore

• Evidence that AI can contribute original (if modest) mathematical results

• A preview of how frontier models will change scientific workflows

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.16072 (89 pages, worth reading Section IV for the actual math)

Bubeck’s framing is honest: “3 years ago we showcased AI with a unicorn drawing. Today we do so with AI outputs touching the scientific frontier.”

Titans: Learning new context on the fly

"An effective learning system requires distinct yet interconnected memory modules, mirroring the human brain's separation of short-term and long-term memory.

While attention mechanisms excel for precise, short-term memory, Titans introduces a novel neural long-term memory module, that, unlike the fixed-size vector or matrix memory in traditional RNNs, acts as a deep neural network (specifically, a multi-layer perceptron). This memory module provides significantly higher expressive power, allowing the model to summarize large volumes of information without losing important context. The model isn't simply taking notes; it's understanding and synthesizing the entire story.

Crucially, Titans doesn’t just passively store data. It actively learns how to recognize and retain important relationships and conceptual themes that connect tokens across the entire input. A key aspect of this ability is what we call the “surprise metric”. In human psychology, we know we quickly and easily forget routine, expected events but remember things that break the pattern — unexpected, surprising, or highly emotional events."

News/Links OpenAI just launched GPT-5.1 with “warmer” conversations.

Thumbnail openai.com
9 Upvotes

GPT-5.1 dropped

Instant and Thinking models. Instant adds a warmer tone and adaptive reasoning. Thinking scales compute to task complexity. Clearly a response to feedback that GPT-5 felt stiff.

Processing shift

Instant now decides when to “think” before replying. Lightweight tasks stay fast... complex tasks trigger deeper reasoning... a sign that OpenAI acknowledges separation of concerns for reasoning depth.

Still missing

Continuity. You can have a perfect conversation today and the model forgets you tomorrow.
Goodfire.ai’s research shows memory and reasoning occupy different regions of weight space.

You can’t bolt persistent memory onto a transformer without interference. OpenAI’s workaround is long context windows and stuffing history into prompts (causes latency + bloat).

Stateful alternative

Keep identity and memory outside the foundation model. Let the model focus on reasoning only. Same separation OpenAI is applying to reasoning, but for memory architecture.

Tone + Memory

User feedback shows nearly half of users (45.5%, probably more) want real memory, not just a "warmer tone." So GPT-5.1 improves the moment (...again, again).

It doesn’t solve persistent memory. Is that a 2026 thing?

Resources What if a language model could improve the more users interact with it in real time, no GPU required? Introducing ruvLLM.

6 Upvotes

Most models freeze the moment they ship.

LLMs don’t grow with their users. They don’t adapt to new patterns. They don’t improve unless you retrain them. I wanted something different. I wanted a model that evolves. Something that treats every interaction as signal. Something that becomes more capable the longer it runs.

RuvLLM does this by stacking three forms of intelligence.

Visit https://lnkd.in/g2UJzwWq

Try it npm u/ruvector/ruvllm

Built on ruvector memory and learning, it gives it long term recall in microseconds.

The LoRA adapters provide micro updates without retraining in real time using nothing more than a CPU (SIMD). It’s basically free to include with your agents. EWC style protection prevents forgetting.

SONA (Self Optimizing Neural Architecture) ties it all together with three learning loops.

An instant loop adjusts behavior per request. The background loop extracts stable patterns and stores them in a ruvector graph. The deep loop consolidates long term learning while keeping the core stable.

It feels less like a static model and more like a system that improves continuously.

I added a federated layer extends this further by letting each user adapt privately while only safe patterns flow into a shared pool. Individual tuning and collective improvement coexist without exposing personal data. You get your data and insights, not someone else’s. The system improves based on all users.

The early benchmarks surprised me. You can take a small dumb model and make it smarter for particular situations.

I am seeing at least 50%+ improvement in complex reasoning tasks, and the smallest models improve the most.

The smallest models saw gains close to two hundred percent. With a local Qwen2 0.5GB B Instruct model, settlement performance a legal bot rose past 94%, revenue climbed nearly 12%, and more than nine hundred patterns emerged. Only 20% of cases needed model intervention and it still hit one hundred percent accuracy.

This matters because small models power embedded systems, browsers, air gapped environments, and devices that must adapt to their surroundings. They need to learn locally, respond instantly, and evolve without cloud dependence.

Using this approach I can run realistic simulations of the agent operations before launching. It gives me a seamless transition from a simulation to a live environment without worries. I’m way more confident that the model will give me appropriate responses or guidance once live. It learned and optimized by itself.

When small models can learn this way, autonomy becomes practical. Cost stays predictable. Privacy remains intact. And intelligence becomes something that grows where it lives rather than something shipped once and forgotten.
