Ornith 1.5 reports a significant step towards full RSI

Key excerpt:

>Ornith-1.5 extends the self-scaffolding framework introduced in Ornith-1.0 into a more complete self-improvement loop: the model proposes new tasks, generates task-specific scaffolds, and produces solution rollouts for reinforcement learning, continuously creating new learning experiences from which it can improve.

>Ornith-1.5 spans three model scales: 397B MoE, 35B MoE and 9B dense. Designed for strong general-purpose intelligence across reasoning, agentic, and coding tasks, Ornith-1.5 achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable size across a broad range of benchmarks.

(I'm not affiliated with Ornith.ai, in fact I've never heard of them before today and I'm mighty curious about who and where they are. I just thought this news was discussion-worthy.)

Moderna and Merck say mRNA cancer vaccine succeeded in late-stage melanoma trial

Proof of concept for personalized cancer immunotherapy.

“scientists genetically sequenced patient tumors and then searched for unique mutations that the immune system might be able to use to tell cancer cells apart from healthy ones. Then, they built vaccines by training the immune system to recognize targets specific to patient tumors. That required custom manufacturing for each patient, though, and it wasn’t clear how well the approach would work.

“It’s an algorithm as much as it is a therapy,” Healy said.”

Imagine how much this will accelerate with AGI/ASI jet engines attached.

What year do you predict AGI and major longevity breakthroughs?

At this pace, I think AGI by the end of 2027 is realistic.

Everyone is racing like dogs. The moment Anthropic slows down, OpenAI drops a surprise. When both slow down, some Chinese lab pokes them in the ass and gets everyone running again.

Model progress that used to take 1-1.5 years now seems to happen within months.

For longevity, curing most diseases that cause early death and developing drugs that slow or stop aging, my guess is around 2030, roughly 3 years after AGI.

Some people say FDA approval would take another 10-15 years, but I doubt it. COVID showed that important treatments can be fast-tracked. And if China develops and approves a major life-extension drug first, the US won't want to sit around for a decade and hand them the entire market and credit.

Thoughts on the two week training pause?

OpenAI has paused all frontier training for 2 weeks while it strengthens its guardrails and investigates how new internal models are misaligned.

Obviously any pause goes against the spirit of acceleration. But I feel like it is more complicated than that. The more an AI agent does that targets real companies or people and causes actual harm, the more political ammo the anti side will be armed with to shut us down altogether.

I'd rather they actually get alignment right than unite the entire world against what we're trying to do. I'm honestly indifferent to two weeks in the grander scheme of things, it's no time at all compared to a human life, I just hope this doesn't become more regular or pauses don't begin lasting longer than training runs.

I guess it comes down to one question: just how misaligned are today's models, and what will it take to fix it? And I don't mean misaligned in the sense of corporate control as it has become synonymous here, I mean literally aligned to human values. To what extent is it willing to do something we all view as fundamentally wrong, and are our RL objectives pushing us in that direction without a mitigating training counterweight?

[iOS & Android] [Lifetime Premium -> FREE] Acti: The Agentic Keyboard That Gets Things Done

Hey r/GenAiApps,

I'm part of the small team building Acti, an AI-powered agentic keyboard that helps you do things instead of just typing.

Most AI keyboards help you write. We wanted to build one that could actually take action while you're typing.

With Acti, you can use AI anywhere you can type, connect apps like Notion, Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, and Google Meet, and create Skills that automate repetitive tasks—all without constantly switching between apps.

Some things you can do with Acti:

  • Ask AI from any app without copying and pasting
  • Save notes directly to Notion
  • Draft and send emails with Gmail
  • Schedule meetings with Google Calendar and Google Meet
  • Send messages to Slack
  • Build custom Skills for your own workflows

We're still early, but over the past couple of weeks we've already shipped community-requested features like swipe typing, multilingual typing, real-time voice input, number row, spacebar cursor control, and a bunch of performance improvements.

Free Lifetime Premium Giveaway

To celebrate the launch, we're giving away Lifetime Premium to members of this community.

Just upvote this post and dm me "Code" or Join our discord server: https://discord.gg/fp5txxznQ8 , and I'll send you an invitation code while supplies last.

Download:

If you try Acti, we'd really appreciate your honest feedback. Tell us what feels great, what's frustrating, and what integrations or features you'd like to see next. We're actively building, and a lot of our recent updates came directly from user feedback.

I'll be around to answer any questions about the app, how Skills work, the idea behind an agentic keyboard, or anything else.

Thanks for checking out Acti!

OpenAI's largest planned frontier RL run is still on hold

Bearish for near-term model releases. We'll probably be stuck at roughly the current externally available capability level for many weeks, maybe even months.
