QUEEN: 4B Chess Model Matches Grandmasters and Explains Moves in Natural Language

Princeton researchers introduce QUEEN, a 4B-parameter model that combines a strong chess engine with a language model via gated cross-attention bridges, trained through a four-stage QA curriculum and iterative search distillation to achieve 2697 Elo while generating natural-language move explanations.

Meta and Microsoft Slash Claude Usage as Token Costs Soar, Pivot to In-House Models

Meta cut internal Claude Code users by 50% to 30,000 while Microsoft reduced Claude spending by over a third, both replacing Anthropic's model with proprietary AI coding tools to control token costs that reached billions annually, even as Anthropic reports 7x ARR growth to $65 billion.

Sergey Levine: The Real Bottleneck in Humanoid Robotics Isn't Hardware—It's Decision-Making

Sergey Levine explains why robotics must prioritize decision-making over hardware, leverage prior knowledge instead of tabula rasa learning, and build diverse real-world data flywheels before scaling—highlighting that the field hasn't yet found its 'Transformer moment' for reliable generalization.

SocioVerse2: Longitudinal Social Simulation with Counterfactual Branching

SocioVerse2 introduces a social simulation infrastructure that decouples population, environment, and behavior models, enabling longitudinal simulations where researchers can insert interventions at any step to create counterfactual branches, and versioned research loops for iterative design, validated across seven case studies including segregation dynamics, drug procurement, and macroeconomic forecasting.

AlphaGo Co-Author Warns: LLMs Lack True Reasoning Despite Move 37 Breakthrough

AlphaGo co-author Thore Graepel argues that LLMs only scale intuitive pattern matching without a separate deliberative search mechanism, making them fundamentally different from AlphaGo's hybrid architecture and unreliable for high-stakes reasoning tasks.

Choosing the Right Agent Harness: NTU Study Shows Model-Harness-Task Fit Matters Most

NTU researchers evaluated four configurable harnesses across five models and three benchmarks, finding harness performance depends on specific model-harness-task combinations rather than fixed rankings, with native harnesses not always optimal and cost not correlating with performance.

ConfTuner: Tokenized Brier Score for Calibrated LLM Confidence Distributions

The article compares TypeSafe AI's Jev model with the NeurIPS 2025 ConfTuner paper, which introduces Tokenized Brier Score to train LLMs to output calibrated probability distributions over confidence tokens, achieving significant ECE reduction across multiple benchmarks with minimal training time, and extends the approach to decision tokens via JevTuner.

LeaP: Learning Where Robot Action Generation Should Begin

LeaP introduces a learnable source prior conditioned on proprioception that jointly predicts mean and variance of a diagonal Gaussian for initializing generative robot policies, achieving 81.6% average success on 15 RoboTwin tasks (25.5 pp over standard Gaussian) and 80% on real Franka tasks (33.3 pp gain), with faster convergence.
