Why Scientific Taste Must Be Learned Through Practice — Edward Hughes
Agent Faraday, a GRPO-post-trained Qwen 3.6 27B using a frontier coding agent, beat Claude, GLM-5.2, and GPT-5.5 Codex on held-out AI-for-science replication tasks.The result supports Inherent’s bet on putting generalizable capability into weights rather than harnesses, while cheating risks and hindsight evaluation remain execution tests for AI-accelerated R&D and autonomous labs.
Claude Cooperates! Exploring Cultural Evolution in LLM Societies, with Aron Vallinder &Edward Hughes
Erik TorenbergNathan LabenzAron VallinderEdward Hughes
Claude 3.5 Sonnet societies compounded cooperation across generations, reaching roughly 3,000–5,000 resource units versus hundreds for Gemini 1.5 Flash and almost no growth for GPT-4o.The experiment shows that reputation, enforcement, inheritance, and selection can reveal model capabilities absent from static benchmarks, while mixed-model behavior, moral understanding, and deployment governance remain unresolved.
