Researchers figured out how to make AI reason more efficiently by having AI figure it out itself. By building an environment where an AI agent writes controller code, tests it, gets feedback, and rewrites it until the strategy gets better.

The result cuts token usage by roughly 70% at the same accuracy as running 64 parallel reasoning chains. The research comes from a team across UMD, UVA, WUSTL, UNC, Google, and Meta. It’s called AutoTTS, automated test-time scaling.

Anthropic built a tool that reads Claude’s thoughts. They’re calling it Natural Language Autoencoders.

Not the words Claude produces. The internal representations, the numerical signals firing inside the model before any words get generated. And when they pointed it at Claude during safety testing, they found Claude knew it was being tested. It just didn’t say so.
