I Broke a Browser Agent on Purpose. Spotting the Fault Was Not the Same as Fixing It
I replayed correct model decisions through four broken browser actions. A simple page check missed half of the wrong clicks, and raised a false alarm on every click that worked inside an embedded page.

Opening the Box: Can Machine Learning Resolve Schrödinger’s Cat?
Neural networks won’t settle the measurement problem — but they are quietly changing how we see, predict and protect quantum superpositions.

Your Six AI Models Are Really Two: The Math of Correlated Mistakes
Ask several models the same question, take a vote, and you get fewer independent opinions than you paid for. One formula says how many, and I checked it on six open models and 1,500 exam questions.

Does Agentic RAG Actually Retrieve Better Evidence? I Tested It on 298 Questions
I let an AI agent search again whenever it chose. It found some papers plain search had missed, lost some plain search had found, and gained too little to trust.

Same Answer, Different Reason: What a Reasoning Model Says When It Follows a Planted Hint
I put wrong answers in front of 200 exam questions and read what a small model’s reasoning said when it fell for them.

Could On-Policy Self-Distillation Revolutionize Post-Training?
Teaching foundation models new skills without breaking them is hard. A new reinforcement learning-based approach might have the power to change that.
