One of the demos of Astra's computer use abilities in their blog post (https://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/) has it fill out a Form 1040 for a relatively simple tax situation.

LLMs describe physics well but don't "understand" it in any grounded sense — they've learned statistical relationships between tokens like "falls" and "gravity", not actual physical intuition. This is basically the Mary's Room problem: Mary knows every physical fact about color but has never seen on

🟡 🤗 Sparse Readout Prism: Explaining Logit-Lens Scores in Features Instead of Tokens — score 58 · 🔗 ×2 Sources: huggingface · arxiv/cs.AI

A language model's prediction of its next token develops across layers, and lens methods track this process by decoding intermediate hidden states into tokens. But a lens reading reflects both the hidden state and the readout (the unembedding matrix) used to decode it. Many lenses are fit on a corpu

🟡 🤗 Small Language Models as Judges for Rubric-Based Reinforcement Learning — score 42 Sources: huggingface

Rubric-based reinforcement learning extends RL beyond tasks with exact answers or rule-based verifiers by scoring responses against instance-specific criteria. However, this makes reward computation expensive: training requires repeated rubric judging, often with proprietary APIs or local generative

Portfolio risk assessment ordinarily relies on reliable estimates of cross-asset return covariances, which are difficult to obtain in short, high-dimensional panels.
