Noam Brown – Agent swarms, alignment, & recursive self-improvement (72 minute read)
This post features a transcript of an interview with Noam Brown, a research scientist at OpenAI who works on reasoning, reinforcement learning, self-play, and multi-agent AI. Brown was a foundational contributor to the development of reasoning models. In this interview, Brown talks about multi-agent, Navier-Stokes, the current explosion of maths progress, automating AI research, and how we will know whether models are actually aligned before recursive self-improvement kicks off. A video of the interview is available.

Introducing Bonsai 2 27B: Near-Lossless Compression in a 9x Smaller Footprint (7 minute read)
Ternary Bonsai 2 27B brings stronger reasoning, coding, vision, and agentic capability to the Bonsai series. It uses ternary {−1, 0, +1} weights with FP16 group-wise scaling, for 1.76 effective bits per weight and a total model footprint of 5.9GB. The model supports a 262K-token context window and multimodal text-and-image input. It can be run on Nvidia GPUs via CUDA and on Apple devices via MLX through custom low-bit kernels.
