Language-based Trial and Error Falls Behind in the Era of Experience
arXiv:2601.21754v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in language-based agentic tasks, their applicability to unseen, nonlinguistic environments (e.g., symbolic or spatial tasks) remains limited. Previous work attributes this performance gap to the mismatch between the pretraining distribution and the testing distribution. In this work, we demonstrate the primary bottleneck is the prohibitive cost of exploration: mastering these tasks requires extensive...
Canonical sends Ubuntu into the AI agent era
UBUNTU SUMMIT Canonical is still experimenting with the format of the Ubuntu Summit series of free conferences, and its most recent instance, the 26.04 edition, was a primarily online event. There was a small in-person invited audience, which by our informal estimate was about half the size of the one at last October's edition. The event opened with a keynote from Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth, and his opening sentence set the tone for much of what would follow: The agentic revolution...

I'm building a parallel internet, and it's called The Thinnernet
Since 2020, I've taken on a Steve Jobs alter-ego (on a very, very part time basis, and often for humor purposes). The first essay I wrote wasn't even related to hardware, or solar powered-conscious operating systems that began around the same time. It was actually about one of my former jobs, regarding Knowledge Bases.
TadA-Bench: A Million-Variant Benchmark for Future-Round Discovery Toward Agentic Protein Engineering
Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI for scientific discovery is entering an agentic era, where protein-engineering systems are expected to prioritize future wet-lab experiments rather than merely fit static measurements. We introduce TadA-Bench, a million-variant wet-lab replay benchmark from 31 TadA directed-evolution rounds for future-round discovery toward agentic protein engineering. TadA-Bench preserves the campaign chronology and defines a fixed-data replay task: given earlier...
Learning a Zeroth-Order Optimizer for Fine-Tuning LLMs
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Zeroth-order optimizers have recently emerged as an attractive approach for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), as they avoid backpropagation and can substantially reduce memory overhead relative to standard first-order training. However, existing zeroth-order methods rely on hand-crafted, static sampling strategies that are not adaptable to model-specific structures. To address this, we propose ZO-Finetuner, a learning-based zeroth-order optimizer for...
Beloved famous zoo closed after 27 years and now abandoned and rotting
Beloved famous zoo closed after 27 years and now abandoned and rotting The famous wildlife park entertained families for 27 years before closing down forever - now it lies desolate and abandoned, with nature reclaiming its derelict premises. A cherished Welsh wildlife park which captured the hearts of the local community shut its doors permanently after 27 wonderful years, and those who experienced it during its prime still can't stop singing its praises. Penscynor Wildlife Park was once the...
