Simulation: the new Scaling Law — Joon Sung Park, Simile AI

Latent Space 1 month ago 22

Simile AI, described in a podcast about a new scaling law for simulation, presented funding and research aimed at recreating human behavior using large numbers of simulations and digital twins for clients. Simile AI reported a $2B Series B round, with claims of 85% accuracy versus human focus groups. The work shifts evaluation from predicting outputs to simulating how people decide, using post-training on causal mechanisms and scaled synthetic populations for product and policy testing.

Best GPU Neoclouds 2026: CoreWeave, Nebius, Lambda, Crusoe, and Groq Ranked by Published Pricing and Contracted Power

MarkTechPost 1 month ago 33 ● 2 sources

GPU neocloud providers CoreWeave, Nebius, Lambda, Crusoe, and Groq were compared on published GPU pricing and contracted power in 2026. Lambda’s lowest published B200 on-demand rate was $6.69 per GPU-hour. The result is a buyer-focused ranking that highlights CoreWeave as the only SemiAnalysis ClusterMAX 2.0 Platinum-rated option and notes different GPU offerings, contract tiers, and roadmap differences across the five.

Nvidia just showed that the harness, not the AI model, is now the real hero

TechCrunch 1 month ago 48 ● 4 sources

Nvidia published research showing that a custom “harness” with better memory handling and a supervisory component enabled Claude Opus 5 to perform long-horizon interactive reasoning tasks much more reliably. It reports a 100% score on ARC-AGI-3 with the harness, versus 30% without it. The takeaway is that agent performance—and likely cost and safety—depends more on harness design than on the underlying AI model alone.

An AI tool for prioritizing candidate biomarkers from wearable sensor data

Google Research 1 month ago 27

Google Research introduced the Biomarker Discovery Framework, a multi-agent system for prioritizing candidate clinical biomarkers from wearable physiological time-series data. It was tested across three cohorts totaling 9,279 participant-observations and produced 41 candidate digital biomarkers for mental health and 25 for metabolic outcomes. The framework adds an iterative, statistically rigorous and adversarial validation loop under human supervision, and it improved downstream prediction when its features were combined with demographic variables (ΔR² = 0.040 for depression, 0.021 for insulin resistance).

Measuring benchmark optimization in speech recognition

Hugging Face 1 month ago 37

Speech recognition model evaluation researchers showed that open benchmarks can be “optimized” by models learning benchmark-specific transcript patterns rather than transcribing the audio faithfully. In their VoxPopuli analysis, they flagged reference errors in 40% of test clips affecting about 3% of reference words, with benchmark-optimized behavior reproducing erroneous references 18–30% of the time. Held-out and newly collected audio reduces these effects because the cues tied to the original benchmark conditions are missing, so more models switch back to audio-faithful transcripts.
