This time I want to explore a phenomenon I've been investigating: what happens when a model trained on contradictory information needs to give a single, coherent answer. The experiments demonstrate something I call "test-time mode collapse" — how models quickly lock into one consistent persona, and how we can influence which persona that is https://altsoph.substack.com/p/quantum-persona-and-test-time-mode
I’d like to discuss the current situation with LLM prompting standards; how we got into this mess; and how to live with it now: https://open.substack.com/pub/altsoph/p/whats-wrong-with-chat-templates-format
What's Wrong with Chat-Templates Format for LLM

This is going to be a long read (I rarely write these), but I believe it's a useful and interesting one with some non-trivial twists along the way. Chat-templates are broken, and I'll explain why.

There are coding agents, so there are agent rules. Last weekend, I tried to analyze how they are used in the wild by looking at hundreds of public github repositories. Here are some thoughts about it: https://altsoph.substack.com/p/big-bang-of-agent-rules
Well, can we generate something on really serious topics? https://freeonlinesurveys.com/s/ZK4rNyYX
Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

okay, since today is April Fool's Day, I'd like to share some results on fully automated jokes + cartoons generation. more examples and details in my substack post https://altsoph.substack.com/p/comic-cartoon-generation

Our original paper from ICCC-2024, Humor Mechanics: Advancing Humor Generation with Multistep Reasoning

Earlier, we with https://x.com/framrus developed a humor generation method that gives human-level results on blind tests.
Now, we with https://x.com/SaveTheRbtz are launching HUMOR-ARENA (https://humor.ph34r.me/), generated humor labeling site with the models ranking, and the top of generated jokes. Blog-post: https://altsoph.medium.com/humor-arena-7ef24ddcba63
