This work builds on LCKV (final-layer caches + KV matching), CLA (cross-layer reuse), and Huginn (recurrent depth), but we test cache-history mismatch and repair in a tied core using LSTM cells aclanthology.org/2024.acl-lo... arxiv.org/abs/2405.12981 arxiv.org/abs/2502.05171

Scaling up Test-Time Compute with Latent Reasoning: A Recurrent Depth Approach arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • A 3.5-billion-parameter model iterates a recurrent block at inference to reach reasoning gains equivalent to a 50-billion-parameter compute load.
  • The approach reasons in latent space rather than writing out chain-of-thought tokens, and needs no specialized reasoning training data.
  • The proof-of-concept was trained on 800 billion tokens; weights are on Hugging Face and code and data recipes are on GitHub.

A serious essay by me with many personal thoughts: utaw.tech/news/trust-i... It's on us as Google DeepMind employees to demand real governance, and our union's (@utaw.tech) recognition push is the most realistic path to get there before it's too late

Everyone’s talking about AI, but no one’s actually asking workers how it’s affecting us. So we’ve done it ourselves. Today we are launching the AI Workers’ Inquiry, a new study led by workers themselves, into the way AI is changing work. Read it at go.utaw.tech/ai

Sadly, trusting voluntary commitments is not enough. DeepMind’s bids for greater independence within Google failed. Earlier safeguards were weakened or dismantled. I explained all that in an essay called "Trust is not Governance" www.blackhc.net/essays/trus...

As published by @utaw.tech: utaw.tech/news/trust-... The full essay, with all sources and easier to read citations, is here: www.blackhc.net/essays/trus... Speaking in my personal capacity as a UTAW member, not on behalf of Google or DeepMind.

Recent commentary

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting: 2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight 2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose" Not one safeguard survived intact

I left Google DeepMind at the end of last week. I loved the research, especially the IMO project last year and working with so many exceptionally talented people on Gemini. Thank you to everyone I worked with, esp my managers and teammates. I have learnt so much from you all! 🫶

A first (short & compute-constrained) research project after leaving Google DeepMind: an LSTM-style tied transformer with one shared core KV cache The main question is how to train for the cache histories that the model produces recursively at inference

Another happy read that we should ponder and reflect on: Forethought's "AI-Enabled Coups". It's a careful, refreshingly unhysterical paper on how a small group (or literally one person) could use advanced AI to seize a state. Ofc: in personal capacity, not on behalf of Google

The Atlantic @TheAtlantic says generative AI is "an engineering disaster." I had Claude fact-check all 23 checkable claims against primary sources: 7 check out · 7 need context · 9 don't hold Verdict: the economics hold up. The computer science doesn't (I checked it too) 🧵
