Arete-27B is a Qwen3.8-27B model post-trained on 52.8M tokens for 2 epochs without RL, reducing propaganda rate from 22% to 1% on an 803-prompt eval. The model’s Hermes Bench score changed marginally to 65.77% from 65.60%.

Key points

  • Fine-tuned on 52.8M tokens, 2 epochs, no RL.

  • Propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1% on 803-prompt evaluation.

  • Hermes Bench score: 65.77% vs 65.60% prior.

Making Agents More Consistent: Skills Should Form Habits for Repeat Tasks

Making Agents More Consistent: Skills Should Form Habits for Repeat Tasks introduces skill habit formation to improve consistency. A habit-formed variant reproduced all 456 repeated dispatches and cut token use by 14%-56%.

Key points

  • 38% to 74% of answers disagreed across 42 tasks run three times per model.

  • Four gates admit candidate skills; the central gate tests execution trace tolerance against run-to-run variability.

Fundstrat Tom Lee AI infrastructure spend equals internet build-out $30T vs $35T

Fundstrat Tom Lee compares AI infrastructure spend to historic internet and mobile build-out, saying AI spend is about $30T versus $35T for the earlier era. He cites Cisco’s 50% drops twice before its 2000 peak and likens today’s market to 1997.

Key points

  • AI infrastructure spend is about $30T in 2026 dollars.

  • Total internet and mobile build-out was about $35T in 2026 dollars.

  • Cisco fell 50% twice between 1993 and 2000 before peaking in 2000.

  • Wireless stocks peaked 10 years into a 25-year exponential growth cycle.

NVIDIA TEE inference on H200, Tier 3+ partner

NVIDIA TEE encrypts GPU memory and a Tier 3+ certified partner offers H200 nodes with TEE enabled for confidential inference. The post lists checks before trusting a TEE-enabled node.

Key points

  • TEE encrypts the GPU's memory so the operator can't read model weights or inputs while the job runs.

  • The node is an H200 with NVIDIA TEE enabled from a Tier 3+ certified partner.
