Predicting When RL Training Breaks Chain-of-Thought Monitorability
Crossposted from the DeepMind Safety Research Medium Blog . Read our full paper about this topic by Max Kaufmann, David Lindner, Roland S. Zimmermann, and Rohin Shah. Overseeing AI agents by reading their intermediate reasoning “scratchpad” is a promising tool for AI safety. This approach, known as Chain-of-Thought (CoT) monitoring, allows us to check what a model is thinking before it acts, often helping us catch concerning behaviors like reward hacking and scheming . However, CoT monitoring can fail if a model’s chain-of-thought is not a good representation of the reasoning process we want to monitor. For example, training LLMs with reinforcement learning (RL) to avoid outputting problematic reasoning can result in a model learning to hide such reasoning without actually removing problem
The 5-Hour Quota, Boris's Tweet, and What the Source Code Actually Reveals
<p>Yesterday I published a deep dive into Claude Code's compaction engine. At the end, I made a promise: go deeper on the caching optimizations that happen <em>outside</em> of compaction.</p> <p>But actually, the caching rabbit hole started before that post - because of a tweet from about ten days ago.</p> <h2> The Tweet That Confused Me </h2> <p>If you're a heavy Claude Code user, you felt the 5-hour usage cap snap shut after Anthropic's two-week promotional window closed. The complaints flooded in. Someone tagged Boris - the engineer behind Claude Code, the person who built it - asking what he planned to do about it.</p> <p>His answer: improvements are coming to squeeze more out of the current quota.</p> <p>My first reaction: <em>what can he possibly do?</em> The quota is server-side. It
OpenClaw Nodes: Connecting Your AI Agent to Physical Devices
<p>Your AI agent lives on a gateway. The gateway talks to Slack, Discord, or Telegram. But what if you want the agent to see through a camera, grab your phone's location, snap a screenshot, or run a shell command on a remote server? That's what <strong>nodes</strong> are for.</p> <p>A node is a companion device — iOS, Android, macOS, or any headless Linux machine — that connects to the OpenClaw Gateway over WebSocket and exposes a command surface. Once paired, your agent can invoke those commands as naturally as any other tool call. No polling loops, no bespoke APIs. Just pairing and using.</p> <h2> What Is a Node? </h2> <p>In OpenClaw's architecture, the <strong>gateway</strong> is the always-on brain — it receives messages, runs the model, routes tool calls. A <strong>node</strong> is a

LIMBO: Who We Are, What We Do, and an Exciting High-Impact Funding Opportunity
We are excited to publicly introduce the Laboratory for Importance-sampled Measure and Bayesian Observation (LIMBO), a small research group working at the intersection of cosmological theory, probability, and existential risk. We believe that the mechanisms by which observers continue to exist in the universe are important, neglected, and tractable to study and influence. Since our founding in October 2024, we have developed a mathematical framework for doing anthropic reasoning about rare-event estimation, and we have obtained significant empirical evidence which validates this framework. This empirical evidence was not cherry-picked: at LIMBO, we believe in putting our money where our mouth is, and we have a strong track record of success in financial and prediction markets downstream of
Kuwait International Airport Remains Closed on April 1, 2026 After Fresh Iranian Drone Strike
Kuwait International Airport stayed shuttered to commercial passenger flights Wednesday as authorities battled a major fire at fuel storage tanks following the latest in a series of Iranian-linked drone attacks that have crippled the Gulf nation's key aviation hub.
Strait of Hormuz Remains Choked in Iran Conflict as Limited Transits Resume Under Iranian Control
The strategically vital Strait of Hormuz stayed largely closed to normal commercial traffic Tuesday as the month-long Iran conflict continued, with only a handful of vessels transiting daily under tight Iranian oversight while the U.S. and allies debated military options to restore freedom of navigation and global oil flows.
