Sometimes, data analysis IS complex; but its presentation should always be elegant. Love how Notebook agents allows users to do hard things and make it look easy.

NeurIPS 25 was less of a conference and more holy pilgrimage. The sacred scriptures didn't dissapoint, ranging from automating environment design to search over scaffolds, long-context architectures and making continual learning/multi-turn RL robust. Read on for our takeaways!

AI researchers arenât short on ideas. The real bottleneck is running better experiments, faster. @sarahcat21 on why experiment design, execution, and analysis will unlock the next phase of AI progress: https://t.co/abOKFJnElA

What if the biggest bottleneck in AI research isn't more ideas â it's actually testing them?

Letâs repeat: continual learning is the next frontier.
My takeaways from Neurips 1. Continual learning. To support this next frontier, weâre going to need new architectures, new reward functions, new data sources, and new revenue models. 2. Neolabs. Frontier research for risky bets is being shared across multiple companies now 3.

Scaling compute and environments buys you more shots on goal, but without the right learning methods this will not scale RL efficiently or even at all. Why autocurriculaânot crude RL maximalismâmight unlock reliable RL:

Why we should care about using autocurricula to train digital agents and how unsupervised environment design and evolutionary algorithms might help us get there.

Itâs always been the data.
We don't actually have but one internet â there's a massive amount of alpha left in simply redefining how we look at and use the data we already have. The distributed systems work behind @datologyai's data curation: https://t.co/bdTkmIrZ22

When talking to artists, two words come up: "process" and "control." AI engineers use different vocabulary: "automation" and "generation." This fundamental mismatch explains why most GenAI tools see explosive growth then gradual disenchantment. Full essay:

Most creative AI tools today don't match the natural creative process, focusing too much on automation and generation and not enough on iteration.

Congrats to @AntithesisHQ on their $105M Series A from @JaneStreetGroup â¤ď¸ We wrote all about them and what makes DST so powerful a few weeks ago:
amplifypartners.com
A primer on Deterministic Simulation Testing, the testing framework that's taking the systems world by storm and radically speeding up developer productivity.
A new blog post about how we've adopted Antithesis as part of our testing story. This is kind of a new thing for us, because we liked Antithesis (both the people and the product) well enough that we're now leading their next funding round.

With the release of Deepseek 3.2 yesterday + Olmo 3 two weeks ago, people are talking about scaling RL again. One under appreciated hardware detail: How do you maximizing hardware efficiency during RL training between generators and trainers? For many top labs, as much as 90%
