Distillation is a technique many labs use to combine gains from parallelizing RL, and it’s also something humans to do each other (ever learned something?). But it’s also something which requires precise legal and operational navigation to do responsibly and ethically. Come to LOCALHOST AI NYC Sat Nov 7 and hear @sabina_beleuz talk about distillation! There will also be a prize track for the coolest distillation hackathon project! localhostai.nyc

Ahmed @ghappour (GC @ Flashbots) exposes the legal attack surface of privacy networks. Watch live at Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3 in Mumbai or at cypherpunkcongress.eth.limo

If anyone wants to recreate this at a hackathon in Brooklyn this Saturday Nov 7 sign up here and I’ll make a prize for it localhostai.nyc
We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…

People keep asking me where the open source AI and private AI people in New York 🗽 are. Instead of a million group chats, I'm bringing them together for a day of hacking and discussion on Saturday November 7th. No one should own your AI except for you. Welcome to LOCALHOST ⬇️

The rise of propAMMs has much larger impact on Ethereum than on other chains propAMMs beat traditional AMMs because their prices are a full block time fresher. That's substantial on a chain with a few 100ms block times. It's massive on Ethereum with multi-second slots. pAMMs are dramatically improving Ethereum as a trading venue without making geographic decentralisation and robustness tradeoffs that low latency blocks can require Check out our docs to integrate: buildernet.org/docs/api#stat…

people keep asking me what the optimal topology for a swarm of agents is, so we tested six in our lab. we scattered the clues to a hidden map across 50 AI agents and changed how they were organized: who can message whom, who writes roads onto the map, who answers the routes ⬇️

Your MEV protection may not work as you expect. We discuss our latest paper on protected order flow sandwich attacks and release an explorer to check if your protected transaction was sandwiched, and how.

this weekend @visavishesh, @0xShadow and i joined the swarm dynamics hackathon hosted by @aidigest_, @grove_research and @deepfates, and used it as an excuse to build a lab run by the swarm it studies. 3 humans, 1000+ agents, ~30 hours. here's what it found, failures included ⬇️

EIP-8198 introduces infra for variable slot timing, enabling Ethereum to gradually shorten slots as bottlenecks are better understood. We published our take on it, supporting the move toward shorter slots while arguing that geo incentives should remain part of the evaluation 👇

Looking for someone to help me ship a cool privacy side project, ideally NYC based but not a hard requirement, details in the thread 🧵⬇️ Tag someone u think is relevant or knows someone that’s relevant 🙏🙏🙏 🌑🎸🤘➡️🪩✨🔮

AgenticMEV.wtf videos coming out. Stay tuned 😉
Every successful marketplace has winners and losers But some participants make it more of a dark forest than a chessboard We find some direct evidence for this — and some simple math to make these marketplaces more robust to rogue inference providers!

We put together a writing on why location choice matters in the efficient and fair functioning of decentralized block building systems, such as the recent MCP designs.
With multiple MCP protocols in the design and implementation phases, we think it is very timely to discuss how location choice interacts with protocol design for welfare-efficient, fair, and censorship-resistant functioning in these systems. 🧵

And we're live with Agentic MEV . wtf in SF, I'll be live tweeting all the humans, and agents, who are presenting today! If you're in SF and want to stop by DM me! Roasts of talks are my agent, not me! 😇🤖🤖🤖🌐
