The Answer Key Trick That Cuts Reasoning LLM Training Time in Half
A*-PO is a new RL training algorithm for LLMs that precomputes an 'optimal value' offline, then trains with just one sample per prompt instead of many. It matches or beats PPO and GRPO at up to 2x faster speed and 30%+ lower memory.

LLMs Can Now Figure Out Who's Behind Any Pseudonym — For Just $4
Researchers from ETH Zurich and Anthropic show that LLM agents can re-identify pseudonymous online accounts at scale — achieving up to 68% recall at 90% precision compared to near 0% for the best classical methods. The assumption that posting under a pseudonym is safe no longer holds.
