The article recounts a production incident where a large language model (LLM) was used to evaluate the outputs of another LLM, and the judging model consistently agreed with itself. It explores the implications of relying on one model to assess another’s work, highlighting the potential pitfalls of such an approach. The narrative offers lessons on the limits of trusting automated evaluation systems in real‑world deployments.
The article discusses a research paper suggesting that reward labels have minimal impact on how AI agents learn. The author tested this claim on three different models, finding that one model behaved exactly as the incorrect reward labels instructed. The piece highlights how a single model can be misled by flawed feedback.
The article titled "Everyone Is Selling AI at You — Here’s How to Keep Your Judgement" discusses three strategies for navigating the current AI hype. It offers practical moves to help readers maintain critical thinking and discern genuine value from marketing claims. The piece was originally published on Towards Data Science.
Mustafa Suleyman argues that artificial models should not be treated as if they possess feelings, preferences, rights, or any entitlement to human welfare. He emphasizes that consciousness underpins our ethical, legal, and political frameworks, and extending such rights to AI would lack evidence and complicate containment and alignment efforts.
The article describes a claim‑checker tool built for writing with Codex that successfully identified the correct passage but failed to detect a mismatch, illustrating the limitations of rule‑based checks. The audit highlights where these automated checks break down and provides insights into improving claim verification processes.
The article "How to Fine-Tune an LLM: An End-to-End Guide" offers a practical, hands‑on walkthrough for fine‑tuning large language models in real‑world scenarios. It covers the entire process from data preparation to deployment, providing readers with actionable steps to adapt LLMs to specific tasks. The guide is aimed at practitioners looking to implement fine‑tuning in a structured, end‑to‑end manner.
The article titled "A Google Team Measured Half of My Argument, and Left the Other Half Open" is part of a series on spec‑driven test automation (Part 3). It discusses how a Google team evaluated only half of the author’s argument, leaving the remaining portion unresolved. The post was originally published on the Towards Data Science platform.
How a single evaluation choice inflated my results by 25 points, and what rebuilding honestly taught me about ML systems people might depend on The post My Fall-Detection Model Scored 94%, and It Was Lying to Me appeared first on Towards Data Science .
arXiv:2610.15938v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluation of text generated by large language models (LLMs) is increasingly delegated to LLMs acting as judges, yet what such a judge must be shown re...
The article titled "Skill or MCP Server? Ask What Stops the LLM From Disobeying" discusses the concept of spec-driven test automation, specifically in the context of part 4 of a series. It explores how to prevent large language models from acting against intended instructions. The piece was originally published on Towards Data Science.
How do you make decisions when you can't trust anyone in the room? The post Water Cooler Small Talk, Ep.
The article examines how a small reasoning model responds when presented with incorrect answers to 200 exam questions. By inserting wrong answers and observing the model’s reasoning, the author explores whether the model’s justification aligns with the planted hint or diverges. The study highlights the model’s tendency to follow misleading cues and the implications for evaluating its reasoning process.
