GPT-5.1 Benchmarks Leak as MAKER Achieves Million-Step, Error-Free LLM Reasoning
AI Models & Research Breakthroughs
Google DeepMind - SIMA 2: An AI Agent for Virtual 3D Worlds
Google DeepMind unveiled SIMA 2, an advanced AI agent capable of playing, reasoning, and self-improving in virtual 3D environments. The model leverages trial-and-error learning and feedback from Gemini to adapt to new games without additional human data, marking a leap in AI adaptability and training efficiency.
MAKER: Million-Step, Zero-Error LLM Reasoning
Researchers introduced MAKER, a system enabling million-step, error-free reasoning in LLMs by decomposing tasks into subtasks managed by microagents. The approach uses a multi-agent voting scheme for error correction, offering a scalable solution for complex problem-solving at organizational levels.
OpenAI’s Weight-Sparse Transformer: A Step Toward Interpretable AI
OpenAI released an experimental weight-sparse transformer model designed to be more interpretable than conventional LLMs. While smaller and less capable than GPT-5, it provides insights into the inner workings of neural networks, helping address issues like hallucinations and misalignment.
