MIMO-V2.6: SCALING REINFORCEMENT LEARNING TOWARDS SELF-IMPROVEMENT

Reinforcement learning is the central training paradigm for advancing large foundation models towards self-improvement. The Mimo-V2.6 series is an omni-model family that pushes the frontier of model intelligence by scaling RL compute. Training was kept stable at scale by freezing the MoE router and establishing a multi-layer defense against reward hacking. The training dynamics, RL environments, and RL framework have been open-sourced to facilitate reproduction and further research on scaled RL and model self-improvement.

AI COMES FOR THE IF STATEMENT

New AI models like Jev2 and SemIf streamline the if-then decision-making process, cutting costs by 99% and improving accuracy from 47% to over 80% in tests. These advancements optimize coding primitives, potentially transforming AI's economic model by using specialized systems for production. Specialization in these models promises significant cost savings while maintaining high accuracy.

ADVISORY GROUP ON MATHEMATICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

OpenAI has trained a new internal model that solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize problem and over 100 open mathematical challenges. In response, OpenAI established an independent advisory group involving prominent mathematicians to guide the responsible development and dissemination of math-related AI capabilities. This group will independently assess, advise, and communicate these advances to ensure AI's mathematical benefits align with community needs.
