The Singularity Has a Distribution: Exact Timing Laws and Detection Limits for a Stochastic Intelligence Explosion
Xiaoyu Li, Zheng Gao, Chiwun Yang +1
Automating AI research creates a positive feedback loop between software capability and research effort. We study a stochastic realisation of this loop in which independent, positi…

What Pretraining and Midtraining Make Learnable from Rewards?
Chiwun Yang, Xiaoyu Li
A reward can identify a correct answer while leaving the computation needed for new inputs undetermined. We study how pretraining and midtraining supply the information and computa…

One Spectrum, Two Resources: Data-Memory Scaling in Autoregressive Prediction
Chiwun Yang, Xiaoyu Li
How much learned memory is needed to benefit from more data? We show that the two resources are governed by one predictive-energy spectrum in a positive-entropy autoregressive retr…
