  • Rethinking RAG: Dynamic Agent Learning


    Rethinking RAG: How Agents Learn to OperateRethinking how agents operate involves shifting from treating retrieval as mere content to viewing it as a structural component of cognition. Current systems often fail because they blend knowledge, reasoning, behavior, and safety into a single flat space, leading to brittle agents that overfit and break easily. By distinguishing between different types of information—such as facts, reasoning approaches, and control measures—agents can evolve to be more adaptable and reliable. This approach allows agents to become simple interfaces that orchestrate capabilities at runtime, enhancing their ability to operate intelligently and flexibly in dynamic environments. This matters because it can lead to more robust and adaptable AI systems that better mimic human-like reasoning and decision-making.

  • Emergence of Intelligence via Physical Structures


    A Hypothesis on the Framework of Physical Mechanisms for the Emergence of IntelligenceThe hypothesis suggests that the emergence of intelligence is inherently possible within our physical structure and can be designed by leveraging the structural methods of Transformers, particularly their predictive capabilities. The framework posits that intelligence arises from the ability to predict and interact with the environment, using a combination of feature compression and action interference. This involves creating a continuous feature space where agents can tool-ize features, leading to the development of self-boundaries and personalized desires. The ultimate goal is to enable agents to interact with spacetime effectively, forming an internal model that aligns with the universe's essence. This matters because it provides a theoretical foundation for developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) that can adapt to infinite tasks and environments, potentially revolutionizing how machines learn and interact with the world.

  • Reevaluating LLMs: Prediction vs. Reasoning


    "Next token prediction is not real reasoning"The argument that large language models (LLMs) merely predict the next token in a sequence without engaging in real reasoning is challenged by questioning if human cognition might operate in a similar manner. The focus should not be on the method of next-token prediction itself, but rather on the complexity and structure of the internal processes that drive it. If the system behind token selection is sophisticated enough, it could be considered a form of reasoning. The debate highlights the need to reconsider what constitutes intelligence and reasoning, suggesting that the internal processes are more crucial than the sequential output of tokens. This matters because it challenges our understanding of both artificial intelligence and human cognition, potentially reshaping how we define intelligence.
