348M model trained on 22.7B tokens solves arithmetic

A researcher trained a 348M‑parameter language model on 22.7B tokens and fine‑tuned it to produce worked steps for arithmetic, achieving a 99.4% average on nine GPT‑3 arithmetic sub‑tasks (n=300, greedy, exact match) and cleanly handling addition up to 14 digits; the author attributes earlier limits to vocabulary, not arithmetic ability.

Real fly connectome failed to learn Pong; audit reveals issues

A researcher tried to train a subgraph of the MaleCNS v1.0 fly connectome to learn Pong but observed no learning. An audit uncovered issues: a neuPrint regex bug zeroed two neuron populations, the initial neuron selection lacked paths from photoreceptors, and half the motor neurons had zero sensory synapses. Rebuilding and tracing found a different descending neuron that actually connected end-to-end, illustrating how failures revealed critical data and selection errors.

embedflow enables embedding model migration without re-embedding

The author released embedflow, a method and tool to migrate embedding models by reranking K documents from the old index instead of re-embedding the entire corpus. Tested on up to 1M documents across 63 migrations; best result was qwen4b→qwen8b matching native retrieval with K=50. embedflow supports qdrant, pgvector, and faiss and is available on PyPI and GitHub.
