I gave a talk at ICLR 2026 about how we are scaling RL on frontier LLMs with 1T+ parameters, on experimental data from our physical lab at Periodic!
Here's a rough recording of the talk:
‼️The Bitter Lesson for context management: Giving LMs unrestricted control over their context beats human-designed SOTA!
Introducing 🩵Context Language Models (CLMs)🩵
- Natively manage their own context
- Treat context as a file
- Learn policies in CLM weights, no harness
Ben & I started Mantic with the mission to solve forecasting.
This summer, Mantic out-predicted all 676 humans in the preeminent forecasting tournament.
We’ve raised $25M to scale.
We’re serving the brave decision-makers who want to grapple with uncertainty.
Join the mission.
SITUATION DETECTED: Anthropic has set up a wet lab in the San Francisco Bay Area for physical biology work. It wants to unlock treatments for rare diseases, and its research has now gone beyond in silico evaluations, per Reuters.
