This AI Model Never Stops Learning
WIRED
Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a way for large language models to keep learning on the fly—a step toward building AI that continually improves itself.
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now devised a way for LLMs to keep improving by tweaking their own parameters in response to useful new information. The work is a step toward building artificial intelligence models that learn continually—a long-standing goal of the field and something that will be crucial if machines are to ever more faithfully mimic human intelligence. In the meantime, it could give us chatbots and other AI tools that are better able to incorporate new information including a user’s interests and preferences. The MIT scheme, called Self Adapting Language Models (SEAL), involves having an LLM learn to generate its own synthetic training data and update procedure based on the input it receives. “The initial idea was to explore if tokens [units of text fed to LLMs and generated by them] could cause a powerful update to a model,” says Jyothish Pari, a PhD student at MIT involved with developing SEAL. Pari says the idea was to see if a model’s output could be used to train it. Adam Zweiger, an MIT undergraduate researcher involved with building SEAL, adds that although newer models can “reason” their way to better solutions by performing more complex inference, the model itself does not benefit from this reasoning over the long term. SEAL, by contrast, generates new insights and then folds it into its own weights or parameters. Given a statement about the challenges faced by the Apollo space program, for instance, the model generated new passages that try to describe the implications of the statement. The researchers compared this to the way a human student writes and reviews notes in order to aid their learning. The system then updated the model using this data and tested how well the new model is able to answer a set of questions. And finally, this provides a reinforcement learning signal that helps guide the model toward updates that improve its overall abilities and which help it carry on learning. The researchers tested their approach on small and medium-size versions of two open source models, Meta’s Llama and Alibaba’s Qwen. They say that the approach ought to work for much larger frontier models too. The researchers tested the SEAL approach on text as well as a benchmark called ARC that gauges an AI model’s ability to solve abstract reasoning problems. In both cases they saw that SEAL allowed the models to continue learning well beyond their initial training. Pulkit Agrawal, a professor at MIT who oversaw the work, says that the SEAL project touches on important themes in AI, including how to get AI to figure out for itself what it should try to learn. He says it could well be used to help make AI models more personalized. “LLMs are powerful but we don’t want their knowledge to stop,” he says. SEAL is not yet a way for AI to improve indefinitely. For one thing, as Agrawal notes, the LLMs tested suffer from what’s known as “catastrophic forgetting,” a troubling effect seen when ingesting new information causes older knowledge to simply disappear. This may point to a fundamental difference between artificial neural networks and biological ones. Pari and Zweigler also note that SEAL is computationally intensive, and it isn’t yet clear how best to most effectively schedule new periods of learning. One fun idea, Zweigler mentions, is that, like humans, perhaps LLMs could experience periods of “sleep” where new information is consolidated. Still, for all its limitations, SEAL is an exciting new path for further AI research—and it may well be something that finds its way into future frontier AI models.

Vice President JD Vance quickly suspended, then restored on liberal X competitor | Fox News
Vice President JD Vance was briefly suspended Wednesday evening by liberal X competitor Bluesky within the first hour of the country’s No. 2 leader joining the platform. The account has since been reinstated. "We welcome the Vice President to the conversation on Bluesky," the company told Fox News Digital in an email response, noting, "There have been many past attempts to impersonate Vice President JD Vance on Bluesky as he is a public figure, and the jd-vance-1.bsky.social account was flagged as part of that pattern by our automated systems, and temporarily suspended." "The account was quickly reinstated within 20 minutes of the suspension, and we've also added a verified badge to help users confirm the authenticity of the profile," the statement added. Bluesky, a social media platform with a similar layout to X, has become a haven for many liberals fleeing X after Elon Musk bought the platform and began making changes. Despite its reputation as a liberal stronghold, Vance set up a profile on Bluesky Wednesday, making his first post at 4:50 p.m. In the vice president’s first post he said: "Hello Bluesky, I've been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I'm thrilled to be here to engage with all of you." MARK CUBAN SAYS LIBERAL ALTERNATIVE TO X HAS BECOME 'HATEFUL' DUE TO LEFTIST GROUPTHINK Within the post, he embedded a screenshot of Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion issued today in United States v. Skrmetti, which upheld a Tennessee law banning sex change surgeries on minors. Thomas’ concurrence listed off several problems he found with those challenging Tennessee’s law, which included "there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children" and "leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance." In his second and third posts, Vance said: "To that end, I found Justice Thomas's concurrence on medical care for transgender youth quite illuminating. He argues that many of our so-called ‘experts’ have used bad arguments and substandard science to push experimental therapies on our youth," and "I might add that many of those scientists are receiving substantial resources from big pharma to push these medicines on kids. What do you think?" In response, Bluesky quickly suspended Vance’s account. However, it was shortly reinstated after a brief period. CONSERVATIVE SATIRE OUTLET CENSORED BY ELON MUSK-RIVAL BLUESKY: 'CHILLING REMINDER' This prompted a firestorm of mockery from conservatives on X, who said the suspension evidenced the need for a free speech platform. "Bluesky banned VP JD Vance 20 minutes after he joined the platform … The libs at Bluesky are so triggered," commented popular conservative account Libs of TikTok. "OMG they banned him already," chimed in political commentator Eric Daugherty. SUCCEEDING TRUMP: 6 REPUBLICAN POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON IN 2028 The suspension even garnered condemnation from Vance critics. Libertarian reporter Billy Binion commented, "I can’t stand JD Vance. But suspending the sitting vice president is exactly why Bluesky is unserious & doomed to fail." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "If you claim to care about real debate, you can’t wall yourself off from everyone outside the progressive bubble—esp[icially] someone who might be president one day," wrote Binion.|
