New research shows that AI doesn’t need endless training data to start acting more like a human brain. When researchers redesigned AI systems to better resemble biological brains, some models produced brain-like activity without any training at all. This challenges today’s data-hungry approach to AI...
DeepSeek Researchers Apply a 1967 Matrix Normalization Algorithm to Fix Instability in Hyper Connections
DeepSeek researchers are trying to solve a precise issue in large language model training. Residual connections made very deep networks trainable, hyper connections widened that residual stream, and training then became unstable at scale. The new method mHC, Manifold Constrained Hyper Connections, k...
Recursive Language Models (RLMs): From MIT’s Blueprint to Prime Intellect’s RLMEnv for Long Horizon LLM Agents
Recursive Language Models aim to break the usual trade off between context length, accuracy and cost in large language models. Instead of forcing a model to read a giant prompt in one pass, RLMs treat the prompt as an external environment and let the model decide how to inspect it with code, then re...
A Coding Implementation to Build a Self-Testing Agentic AI System Using Strands to Red-Team Tool-Using Agents and Enforce Safety at Runtime
In this tutorial, we build an advanced red-team evaluation harness using Strands Agents to stress-test a tool-using AI system against prompt-injection and tool-misuse attacks. We treat agent safety as a first-class engineering problem by orchestrating multiple agents that generate adversarial prompt...
