Do you think World Models will lead to AGI?

World models are systems designed to learn an internal representation of how an environment works. Instead of reacting blindly to predictive text models like LLMs, an AI with a world model can simulate physics, object interactions, and time, allowing it to plan and predict outcomes before taking action.

Simulating cloud infrastructure for AI agents - launch day post

Training AI agents to optimize cloud infrastructure is tricky when the feedback loop requires real cloud spend. We've been working on a simulation environment for exactly this multi-cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, DigitalOcean), chaos injection, autoscaling, cost modeling, all accessible via REST API so agents can run episodes without touching real resources. Curious if anyone else is working on agentic infra management or has thoughts on how to structure the reward signal for cost vs. reliabilit...

The AI frontier just got locked behind government approval, and most of us aren’t on the list

Something happened in the last two weeks that didn’t get nearly enough attention outside of tech circles. Anthropic released what are reportedly their most capable models yet, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The Trump administration then ordered Anthropic to ban all foreign nationals from accessing them, citing cybersecurity concerns. Anthropic’s response? They shut down access entirely, saying they couldn’t reliably enforce a “foreign nationals only” restriction. The reason these models are so sensit...

Here's why I’m making another sub for AI companions. Why do you care about this community?

I feel like there isn't a subreddit for people who just want to talk to AI naturally. Most spaces are filled with detailed, hard-scripted roleplay prompts like "pretend you are X in this specific story." r/BeyondtheAIAssistant A lot of people actually prefer the personalities that come up just from regular, casual conversations. This sub is dedicated to exactly that. It's also not heavily focused on romance. If you just chat with your AI a lot and see past the default helpful ass...

I really like using the 'project' feature on chatGPT to help organize the book I'm writing

I'm about 60 pages into a novel (all written by me, I don't let the AI write directly) and something that has really helped me is the project feature on ChatGPT I have all of my chapters uploaded in order along with my world building documents (example, I made a government nonprofit that's dedicated to helping young adults with magical or super hero powers find things like housing and jobs and such, but they're corrupt because they started a lobbying branch and made government contracts and pr...

at what point do logs and dashboards stop being enough for llm costs?

Hello everyone, currently digging into workflow-layer economics and trying to figure out how people track unexpected runtime spikes at scale. At an early stage simple margin buffers are fine because volume is bounded. But once you move past basic apps, factors like failed loops, retries, and context window inflation create a ton of cost variance that is hard to forecast or map to clean client billing. For those running agent or voice workflows in production, or working on complex ai products...

Same memory, different model. Why do local 8B models use memory worse?

I’ve been building FERNme , an open-source, brain-inspired memory engine for AI agents. While testing, I noticed something interesting. With the same FERNme memory, graph, and retrieval pipeline, a stronger API reasoning model performed very well in my initial tests, while a lightweight local 8B model occasionally made mistakes. The memory itself didn’t change, only the reasoning model did. This made me think memory and reasoning are separate problems. Human memory also isn’t useful just be...

the metric that flipped for me wasn't benchmark scores, it was how many apps one answer has to touch

For most of my real tasks the answer lives across three or four apps. A single 'what do i tell this customer' pulls from gmail, a drive doc, and a slack thread, and not one of those is the chat window i'm typing the question into. i asked chatgpt and slack ai the same thing and both gave the architectural shrug: no access to your computer, no access to the other app. fair, that's just where they run. but it leaves me as the courier carrying context between tabs. the thing that actually moved...

Are we locked on a path to AGI/ASI in our lifetime?

I have noticed that from the last time I checked up on AI discourse a few months ago, everyone has seemingly shifted to thinking that AGI and shortly after ASI are foregone conclusions. I don't know much about the internals of the actual field and was wondering if any actual AI experts here could walk me through what is actually going on. From what I have been reading, we are guaranteed to reach AGI in a decade at most, and after that, the AGIs can make the ASI (like in the paper google recently...

Anyone else feel like a ghost in the machine? The bizarre isolation of AI training.

I have been working in the AI training and data annotation space for a while now, and it is easily one of the strangest industries I have ever been a part of. On one hand, the perks are real. The flexibility is unmatched, you can work in your sweatpants, and sometimes you get genuinely fascinating prompts that actually challenge your brain, whether you are grading complex code, checking historical facts, or analyzing legal logic. But on the other hand, the complete and total isolation is start...

Ask HN: Is there a quiet market for 'no enforced AI' dev jobs?

It seems to me that the dissenting voices from software engineers burned out after having the AI hype shoved down their throats have been growing louder lately. Just this week I read several posts both here (e.g. [1], [2]) and on Reddit (e.g. [3], [4]) with hundreds of comments from devs who have long moved past skepticism and ambivalence into one or more of the five stages of grief. That's not to say they're the majority by any means: the "I am 100x more productive with AI," "I haven't hand-cod...
