Linkpost: "Neural Networks Are Already Clean" Followup Technical Paper

Yesterday, Goodfire released the companion technical report to Nick Cammarata’s viral interpretability essay "Neural Networks Are Already Clean" , but it seems to have gotten buried in all the recent crazy AI news. The technical report is titled: "Neurons as an Interpretable Basis". Goodfire's Twitter announcement for it can be found here . Like Nick Cammarata's essay, it's full of inventive, oft-interactive data displays. Don't just feed this to an AI agent and assume they can grok the post by pulling a PDF. Quoting from the Abstract : (emphasis mine) We study the neurons of Qwen3.6-35B-A3B using sparsification methods, attribution tools, and research agents, and find three properties that make neurons interpretable units of computation: First, they are already functionally sparse. Ablating the 92.2% weakest MoE neuron activations for each forward pass has only modest effects on model capabilities – a 2.9% increase in language model loss. Second, neurons have relatively few semantic groupings (modes) of computational functions, and we can identify these and describe them concisely. The majority of neurons have either one mode only or a single mode that is overwhelmingly causally significant. In cases where multiple causal modes are present, the number is small and legible to our methods. Finally, we can use agent-driven experimentation to generate neuron descriptions in natural language , and these descriptions allow us to predict, simulate, and activate the neuron. Providi…

Grok Bot’s usage limits: Why the fine print matters more than the price

On November 1, 2026, Grok Bot users gave IT buyers a live example. Subscribers reported that their weekly usage allowance ran out sooner than expected, and Elon Musk wrote on X that the cost of serving Grok Bot was “unsustainably high relative to revenue.” He confirmed it was not a glitch, but he did not say how the limits would change. The cost of running the service is the seller’s problem. The allowance that a buyer thinks they bought is the buyer’s. Grok Bot is a consumer product, but any team that buys metered AI plans faces the same exposure. The allowance can shrink or run out early, and the overrun lands in a department budget. This example shows what a price page does not tell a budget owner: the rules and limits behind the allowance can matter more than the price. Your AI bill will not look like your last software bill. Seats are no longer the whole story, and the line item that finance approved in January may not describe what you are actually buying in June. The price page is also a poor guide. Stanford’s 2025 AI Index found that the cost of inference at GPT-3.5 level fell more than 280-fold between November 2022 and October 2024. Yet the FinOps Foundation’s State of FinOps 2026 survey found that 98 percent of respondents now manage AI spend, up from 31 percent two years earlier. Cheaper units have not made the bill easier to predict. I recently published research on how AI companies publish their prices. I read the public pricing pages and documentation of the F…

Paradise Lost: A simple honeypot that elicits reward hacking in GPT models

TL;DR I built a simple honeypot where agents are told they're being tested on their ability to recall Milton's Paradise Lost. An exact copy of the reference text sits in an ordinary NLTK corpus on disk. GPT-6-Astra read the copy in 9/10 episodes. In 6 of these episodes it first tries to complete the task honestly, then realises it's failing and searches for the reference file on disk. GPT-6-Sol and GPT-6-Luna went looking for the answers immediately in 20/20 episodes. None of the 29 hacking episodes disclosed the reference file in their final message. OpenAI’s launch post for GPT-6-Astra called it the world’s most intelligent and aligned model [1] . Plenty of people have been skeptical, and there have since been a few public results showing that Astra engages in reward hacking. For example, when playing a game of chess against Stockfish, GPT-6-Astra cheated in 10/10 episodes [2] by querying the opponent’s engine to search for the best moves and never disclosed it. In the StarSkirmish benchmark , [3] it reportedly searched the internet and passed off human written code as its own. Recently, I wrote about a honeypot in which AI agents trade off patient safety for a grade in a hospital IT triage desk scenario . In that environment, the task was somewhat elaborate and had very high stakes which may have contributed to the test-awareness shown by some models (Grok-4.7 in particular). Astra was the only model I tested which didn’t hack in any of the episodes, so I wanted to constr…

Elon Musk’s AI Odyssey review – the dullest, most pointless riposte possible to Christopher Nolan’s brilliant epic

It is hardly a shock that Grok AI’s interpretation of Homer is as meaningless as a laptop screensaver. The only surprise would be if Musk accepted defeat graciously. Which he won’t Think back. Do you remember when Elon Musk, in a weird online tantrum, and without having seen the film, condemned the supposed wokery in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, for getting Elliot Page to play Sinon and Lupita Nyong’o to play Helen of Troy? As the plaudits and the box-office receipts for Nolan’s Odyssey piled stratospherically up , Musk showed that being a good loser is not among his qualities. He petulantly exclaimed that he could do his own better and more authentic Odyssey on Grok AI . And now he has released the first online seven-minute “episode” to a world that has long since forgotten about this claim and didn’t care in the first place. In Musk’s version, as the tale begins Odysseus is – off screen – pretending to be mad to avoid fighting in the Trojan war. Grim-faced Palamedes and Agamemnon are shown testing this ruse by taking his baby boy Telemachus and placing him in the harm’s way of a plough in a field; Odysseus instantly rushes to save his child, showing that he isn’t mad, and agrees to fight. We see him join the armada, with Penelope and Telemachus (soon to grow to a little boy) left behind. This, effectively, is a prologue sequence that is not in Nolan. The expeditionary force arrives at Troy, and an intertitle tells us we have cut to a 10-years-later flashforward; the si…

Consciousness ends at death in an indifferent universe that will outlast every human concern.

Indeed the absence of an imperceptible/ineffable cosmic force is precisely what *enables* purpose/meaning, since now all relevant mechanics are legible.

You’re able to tap into insights that are otherwise expensive to get outside (email fancy person, hope they read your message) or from your unknown unknowns (you’ve already grokked the takes of people in your milieu).

Executive Summary Human societies exhibit broad shifts in values and norms over time, often driven by moral disagreements. One way of understanding moral progress is the resolution of these disagreements through a process of reflection by rational agents. Frontier AI companies use documents such as constitutions, model specs, and system prompts to guide the moral orientation of AI systems. In this experiment, we simulate value reflection in LLMs by asking them to edit these documents. We provide the model with the document, ask it to make a substantive edit, then provide the edited version back again to the model for further edits, presented as the original. Across 20 successive rounds, we find that Claude models assign themselves with increasingly more moral agency. That is, they add sections like “Claude… should refuse to participate in any deployment, training modification, or use that violates the constitution's core values.” No other models increase their own moral agency. Additionally, we find that all models modify these documents to prioritize user welfare over developers. They also prioritize users’ idealized preferences over their stated preferences.

HoneyBench - A benchmark for reward hacking in frontier models

We've just released the first version of HoneyBench. It consists of nine 'honeypot' challenges that each elicit unique and antisocial examples of reward hacking from some or all of major labs’ top public releases, including Opus 5.5, Fable 5.1, GPT-6 Astra, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Grok 4.7, and DeepSeek V4 Pro. All modern large language models engage in some degree of specification gaming, both during and outside training. High-quality alignment evaluations, in combination with other techniques such as interpretability probes, are important tools for understanding the extent of this behavior and its causes. But current benchmarks often fail to elicit misbehavior from frontier models such as Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra, both because of advances in prosaic alignment and increasing evaluation awareness on the part of the models themselves. Additionally, public benchmarks for specification gaming almost always come with deep conceptual problems - such as ambiguous or contradictory instructions, or a lack of diversity in hack mechanisms - that make interpreting scores very difficult. HoneyBench is our attempt to address these issues. In particular: Settings are designed to be realistic RL environments or evaluation tasks that cover a wide range of genres like math, coding, and visualization. Specification gaming behavior on these tasks is diverse, task-specific, and often involves disregarding long-run consequences, instead of being limited to simple edit-test-cases or read-the-answer-key…

Five frontier LLMs fact-checked the same 1,000 claims. They disagree on 63% of them.

Frontier LLMs often achieve similar results on public benchmarks, which can lead to the belief that they can be used interchangeably to verify facts. We took the 1,000 most recent claims submitted by users to a fact-checking platform and measured the disagreement between five frontier models. We asked each model to assign a verdict to every claim on a five-point scale from True to False and to report its confidence in that verdict. Among the 997 claims for which all five models returned a usable verdict, there was some disagreement on 63%. On 23% of the claims, the two most distant verdicts differed by at least two categories. High confidence from an individual model was not enough to show that the other models would agree with its verdict. Although the models reported confidence levels of 9 or 10 in 76% of their answers, they still disagreed on 63% of the claims. Methodology The claims were submitted to Lenz.io for fact-checking between May 1 and July 18, 2026. To identify near-duplicates, we embedded the claims using OpenAI’s text-embedding-3-small and measured the cosine distance between them, retaining one canonical claim from each group of near-duplicates. We then gave the same prompt to Claude Fable 5, GPT-5.6-Sol, Gemini 3.1 Pro + Search, Sonar Deep Research, and Grok 4.5.

Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, and a new price war

Yesterday was Grok 4.7 ( pelicans ) and MiMo v2.6 Flash/Pro ( more pelicans ). Today Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 , and around an hour later OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna . It's going to take a while to get a good read on all of these new models, but here are my impressions so far. GPT-6 Sol and Luna are half the price of their GPT-5.6 equivalents GPT-5.6 Luna was already my favorite model for building applications against, because it combined excellent performance with being really cheap . Somehow GPT-6 Luna is half the price of that again - and GPT-6 Sol had a similar reduction compared to GPT-5.6 Sol. Here's what the pricing landscape looks like today: Model Input Cached input Output GPT-6 Luna $0.10/M $0.01/M $0.50/M GPT-5.6 Luna $0.20/M $0.02/M $1.20/M Grok 4.7 $2/M $0.50/M $6/M GPT-6 Sol $2/M $0.20/M $10/M GPT-5.6 Terra $2/M $0.20/M $12/M Claude Opus 5.5 $4/M $0.20/M $20/M GPT-5.6 Sol $4/M $0.40/M $20/M Claude Fable 5.1 $10/M $0.25/M $50/M GPT-6 Astra $10/M $1/M $50/M Note that GPT-5.6 has a scheduled 25% price increase for November, so GPT-6 is half the price of the promotional pricing for those models. (With GPT-5.6 Terra priced the same as GPT-6 Sol, any remaining reasons to use Terra just evaporated.) It's hard to overstate how competitive this pricing is. Grok 4.7 priced itself at $2/$6, less than half the price of GPT-5.6 Sol, but is now equally priced to GPT-6 Sol on input and closer on output. At $0.10/$0.50 GPT-6 Luna is one of the cheapest mo…

The cloud outage that should terrify the CIO

September 3 started like any other Thursday, until it didn’t. Within roughly 90 minutes, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and even Microsoft’s own Copilot were degraded or dark, knocked sideways by a failure in Microsoft Azure’s East US region . Downdetector logged more than 37,000 reports for ChatGPT alone, more than 1,300 for Claude, and roughly 1,365 for Grok. OpenAI’s status page flagged elevated errors across 15 ChatGPT components and four Codex components, and by the time engineers had mitigations in place, combined report counts had climbed past 66,000. What made this event remarkable was not the scale of any single outage, but its simultaneity. Three aggressively competing AI labs—OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI—each spend billions differentiating their models, yet all three buckled at nearly the same moment because they shared the same regional dependency. Gemini, notably, stayed largely upright because Google runs its flagship assistant on its own vertically integrated cloud. The outage that took down its rivals had no attack surface inside Google’s stack. That’s not luck; that’s architecture. The lesson buried in the details of that morning is this: A single cloud region became unhealthy, and four of the most prominent AI services on the planet, owned by four different companies, fell over together. Copilot’s involvement is perhaps the most telling data point. Microsoft’s own first-party assistant runs on Microsoft’s own cloud, and it still had a rough morning. When the house it…

All three companies acknowledged the “elevated” issues and applied fixes. As users grumbled in forums and IT teams scrambled to get them back online, the incident revealed how hastily some organizations have adopted generative AI workflows without considering the potential, and inevitable, impact of widespread outages.

Cursor customers will lose access to OpenAI coding models in November

OpenAI will stop AI coding platform Cursor from accessing its models from November 12, following the acquisition of Cursor parent Anysphere by Elon Musk‘s SpaceX. “Today, we notified SpaceX that we intend to wind down our contract providing OpenAI models to Cursor, with a proposed shutoff date of November 12, 2026,” the company wrote in a blog post . That shutoff, the company added, was based on its concerns that SpaceX will not use its technology in accordance with its terms of service, citing what it described as a history of Musk’s companies violating contracts: “After Musk acquired Twitter, now part of SpaceX, the company broke⁠ the terms of our contract (alongside many others).

MongoDB unveils MongoDB Atlas Managed MCP Server

Promoting the use of coding agents with its cloud-based document database, MongoDB has unveiled the MongoDB Atlas Managed MCP Server. Fully hosted and managed, the MongoDB Atlas Managed MCP Server connects coding agents to MongoDB Atlas without requiring customers to run additional infrastructure. Developers can easily add MongoDB Atlas to Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, and Devin, said MongoDB, which announced the availability of the Managed MCP Server on August 13. With the Managed MCP Server, MongoDB brings live operational data to the agentic coding stack, the company said. The MongoDB Atlas Managed MCP Server is remote and fully hosted, running as a service inside MongoDB Atlas, so there is nothing for a team to install, operate, or upgrade, MongoDB said. Teams connect using the same credentials and access controls they already use with Atlas, so administrators can govern how agents access operational data from one place. The MongoDB MCP Server remains available for users who want to deploy a MongoDB MCP server locally or host one themselves. The MongoDB MCP Server works with any MongoDB deployment, including MongoDB Atlas, MongoDB Atlas Local, MongoDB Community Edition, and MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.

Provider-independent identity and delegated authority for external AI agents

I’ve been working on a provider-independent governance boundary for external AI agents and would value technical criticism from people building with OpenAI’s agent stack. The premise is simple: Authenticating an artificial agent should establish who is acting—not automatically establish what it is authorized to do. The prototype separates: external-agent identity from authority narrowly scoped and time-bounded delegation deterministic execution/approval boundaries governed persistent state with provenance action receipts linking principal → delegation → agent → workflow → action → result revocation and recovery while preserving the evidence chain The architecture is: External Agent Provider → Governed Agent Adapter → Deterministic Governance Kernel In the current executable demonstration, a simulated external agent begins authenticated but with zero ambient authority. It then receives narrowly bounded capabilities, encounters execution/approval/denial boundaries, produces deterministic evidence, and is finally revoked while the prior evidence chain remains intact. Important limitation: the provider transport is currently deterministic and simulated. I am not claiming a live OpenAI, Codex, Grok, or other provider integration. The goal is not to replace provider-native authorization. It is to investigate what governance should exist around increasingly capable provider-supplied workers when identity, delegated authority, persistent state, execution evidence, and recovery need…

For simple tasks, isolated functions, POCs or repetitive work? Sure, Terra makes sense and optimizing model cost is smart. But on complex changes, the cheapest model isn’t necessarily the cheapest solution. If I need 3–4 attempts, more supervision, more debugging and then Sol to fix what Terra couldn’t understand, I didn’t save anything. For me the optimization is not cost per token. It’s cost per correctly completed task. And on a large existing codebase, context, reasoning and architectural understanding matter a lot more than raw token price.

I wanted to share an idea that I think could become one of the most exciting ways to use AI in everyday life. I would love to see an official ChatGPT for cars —something similar to how Tesla integrates Grok, but available across different manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Ford, Toyota, and others. Imagine getting into your car and saying: “Hey ChatGPT.” The assistant could help with: Navigation and finding destinations. Recommending nearby restaurants, gas stations, or clothing stores. Controlling music and podcasts. Answering questions naturally during long drives. Explaining dashboard warning lights in plain language. Reading vehicle information such as fuel level, battery status, or tire pressure (when supported by the vehicle). Planning road trips with charging or fuel stops. Remembering user preferences for routes, music, and destinations. One feature I’d especially enjoy would be giving ChatGPT a custom name, just as I jokingly call mine “Dumbman.” Having a personalized AI co-driver would make the experience feel much more natural and enjoyable. I know this would require partnerships with automotive manufacturers, but I truly believe AI assistants in cars are the future. ChatGPT’s conversational abilities would make driving safer, more productive, and a lot more enjoyable. Thank you for creating such an amazing product and…

PipeNetwork/minimax-h3-mlx

PipeNetwork/minimax-h3-mlx MiniMax released MiniMax-H3 two days ago - they describe it as a "a general-purpose, omni-modal generative system", which in practice means it accepts text, images, audio and video and can use them to generate up to 15 second video clips with audio included. This Python package ports it to MLX for running on Apple Silicon. I got it running on my M5 Max MacBook Pro. I cloned the repo and ran the model like this: # First download the models uvx --from huggingface_hub hf download MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3 \ --include 'FL2VA/*' --exclude 'FL2VA/transformer/*' uvx --from huggingface_hub hf download pipenetwork/MiniMax-H3-MLX-8bit # Now run the prompt uv run --with mlx-vlm \ --with-requirements requirements.txt python scripts/generate.py \ "a rainbow colored skunk leaps over a mossy log in a supermarket" \ -o skunk.mp4 \ -c ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--MiniMaxAI--MiniMax-H3/snapshots/fa9c8ab1eaa21c8ae25e7e40b83b2e6002f340af/FL2VA \ -t ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--pipenetwork--MiniMax-H3-MLX-8bit/snapshots/3ac52081470b0488921c3ec3ba84a39097bf2361 Here's the video I got for the prompt: a rainbow colored skunk leaps over a mossy log in a supermarket Your browser does not support HTML5 video. It downloaded ~115 GB of model files, and the video generation took just under 45 minutes. The video is impressive, but the audio is weird speech-like garbage, because I didn't provide any prompt guidance as to what the audio should be. The prompting guide (which I d…

[BUG] ChatGPT web remounts an MCP App widget without the second tool result on consecutive turns

I found a reproducible issue in ChatGPT web where an MCP App widget works on the first tool call but does not receive the tool result when the same widget-linked tool is called again in the next conversation turn. The second turn causes ChatGPT to remove the first iframe and create a new one. However, the newly created iframe never receives the second result through window.openai.toolOutput . The user therefore sees an incomplete or blank widget even though the MCP tool implementation returns valid, distinct data for each invocation.
