Dream-RSI: Recursive Self-Improvement through Evolving Worlds

Recursive self-improvement is becoming increasingly vital for autonomous AI agents, where progress hinges on discovering high-value solutions across complex domains. The driver of this process is effective exploration, however, managing and improving exploration strategies remains a major bottleneck. Current systems face a fundamental dilemma: fixed strategies fail to adapt as search spaces scale, while online policy optimization requires navigating vast meta-search spaces under delayed and expensive feedback over long-horizon rollouts. We introduce \textsc{Dream-RSI}, a framework for...

Accurate Models of AMD Matrix Cores

Matrix multipliers available on recent GPUs do not conform with the IEEE 754 floating point standard. Features of matrix multipliers differ across vendors and architectures of the same vendor, such as accumulator width, rounding behaviour, normalisation points, intermediate underflow and overflow logic, the handling of subnormals, and the treatment of special inputs. As a result, reproducibility of small matrix multiplier results across devices is not possible and cannot be achieved by software control. Implementation details of matrix multipliers are not documented, making it difficult to...

Small programming tricks

Day to day, I think a surprising amount of engineering productivity comes from small nuggets of knowledge: being aware that a language feature exists; knowing that an unexplained tcp delay is probably related to the TCP_NO_DELAY setting and Nagle’s algorithm; knowing the right git incantation to get out of a pickle; or knowing a trick with sed to rewrite a file.
