Sina's open model VibeThinker-3B aims to show reasoning compresses well but factual knowledge doesn't

Sina Weibo's VibeThinker-3B has just three billion parameters but matches models like DeepSeek V3.2 and Kimi K2.5 on math and coding benchmarks. Those models are up to 333 times larger. The secret isn't size but multi-stage post-training. The researchers propose a hypothesis based on their findings: logical reasoning compresses well into small models, but br

Only three AI models finished above starting capital in a 500-day startup survival test

Researchers at Princeton University built CEO-Bench, a test where AI agents have to run a fictional software company for 500 simulated days. Most current models go broke, and a simple rule-based heuristic with no AI beats nearly all of them.

Building a Stable Fable 5 Traces Workflow in Colab: Parsing Tool Calls, Auditing Data, and Training Baselines

In this tutorial, we build a stable workflow around the Fable 5 Traces dataset from Hugging Face. We avoid fragile dependencies and manually parse the merged JSONL file to keep Colab reliable. We inspect repository files, normalize tool calls, audit structure, redact secrets, and visualize key distributions. We also export safe no-CoT chat datasets and train
