A vanity domain name ( stolen-thoughts.com ) for a neat paper : Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google return encrypted chain-of-thought blocks to clients that can be replayed across sessions, users, and models.

When a tool-using agent is given the same task in a different language, does it still take the same steps? Multilingual evaluation rarely asks: it compares final answers and discards the actions.

GUI Visual Grounding is a fundamental capability for GUI agents. Existing models typically freeze their parameters after deployment, limiting their ability to adapt to unseen interfaces.

AI agents are increasingly used in mathematics research, but it is often unclear how to use them effectively. Towards this, we present an extensive case study of how AI was used to improve bounds on the Grothendieck constant $K_G$, which captures the hardness between combinatorial problems and their continuous relaxations.

Sophie Alpert shares her "internal policy on acceptable use of AI writing by engineers". It's a short read (supporting its own recommendations) and really good.

The Decoder
OpenAI is rolling out "Premium Seats" for ChatGPT Business customers at $125 per user per month, five times the price of the existing Standard Seats. In return, users get significantly more capacity and no five-hour usage limit.

The Decoder
Security researchers found a vulnerability in the APIs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google that lets them extract encrypted reasoning traces and move them between models. A scan of public sessions turned up dozens of passwords and API keys.

TechCrunch AI
River AI, a startup founded by xAI co-founder Igor Babuschkin, has a fascinating vision for personal agents and secured $1.1 billion out of the gate.

The Decoder
Nvidia's Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open-weights model with just 3.6 billion active parameters that matches OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b on the Intelligence Index despite being four times smaller. At nearly 670 tokens per second, it's also the fastest model in the comparison, showing Nvidia is betting on efficiency over raw size.
