LLMs don't write in a recognizable style because they can't do better. Post-training and safety guardrails sharply narrow their expressive range, argues Pangram CTO Bradley Emi. Base models without these constraints already write with far more variety. The article LLMs could write like humans but post-training guardrails make their text detectable appeared first on The Decoder .
Kimi K3 and GLM-5.3 are now within striking distance of the best US models. Western labs blame distillation, and there's real evidence for it. But guilty or not, the conclusion is the same: a model lead can't be defended. This issue looks at what can. The article Frontier Radar #4: China has caught up, so what's left of the Western AI lead? appeared first on The Decoder .

Turing Award winner Richard Sutton calls synthetic data a "big mistake" for scaling large language models. The world is infinitely complex, and any simulation of it is "microscopic," with human expertise acting as a bottleneck that blocks real scaling. Sutton's alternative is agents that learn continually from their own experience instead of relying on frozen models. The article KI-Pioneer Sutton…
Anthropic uses an unpublished AI model internally that is more powerful than any publicly available version of Claude. The article Anthropic's most capable model, codenamed "Model 2," is for internal use only appeared first on The Decoder .
Unitree Robotics rose 460 percent in its Shanghai IPO, hitting a valuation of around $50 billion. But an FT report shows much of the demand for its robots comes from state-backed training centers that buy the machines and sell the resulting data back to the manufacturers, a circular business model that echoes the Nvidia criticism in the US. The article China now has its own AI circular financing…
In a new essay, Terence Tao warns that AI could push mathematics into a crisis on par with the foundational upheaval around 1900. What's being tested this time isn't mathematical truth but the values of the field: what counts as a contribution, what gets rewarded, and who did the work. His rule of thumb: a proof that no human can explain should be considered incomplete. The article Terence Tao…
OpenAI plans to offer its most advanced AI models to corporate customers without storing their data, while still detecting misuse. The article OpenAI builds safety system that catches misuse without storing customer data appeared first on The Decoder .
In a letter to investors, Stripe declares January 1 the "beginning of the singularity" and uses that as a reason to stay private. Not that it needs one: revenue grew 41 percent in the first half of the year, and the company confirmed its $8 billion-plus acquisition of OpenRouter. Declaring the singularity is in vogue right now. Hassabis, Altman, and Musk all say it's already here. The article…
The NSA, CISA, and FBI say attackers are using AI to build exploit scripts targeting Siemens S7 controllers, drastically cutting the time and skill needed to attack industrial control systems. Critical U.S. sectors like energy, water, and manufacturing are affected.
