Swarm organization - the efficacy of cooperation between AIs in a multi-agent system - may change how parallel test-time compute increases AI capabilities, moving it from a sublinear[1] to a superlinear exponent.[2][3] That is, rather than more parallel agents giving you diminishing returns to capabilities, more parallel agents may soon...
In brief Setting a temporary[1] maximum of, say, 5M[2] tokens for context windows could serve as a legible, enforceable way to: a.) somewhat slow AI capability growth; b.) ensure AIs create external memory artifacts that can be monitored. Why This? Frontier LLMs are (imo) most limited by their context windows....
Linkpost for some new Anthropic research on how agents coordinate (or don't). Not too long, pretty interesting. For example: The jist of the report is that Mythos 5 does way better at coordination than previous models across a few scenarios. For example, when multiple Mythos are given conflicting goals for...

It is very much possible to look at almost every design feature...
