Over the holiday weekend, key AI developments include the upcoming release of Grok 4, Perplexity teasing new projects, and community reactions to Cursor and Dia. Research highlights feature a paper on Reinforcement Learning (RL) improving generalization and reasoning across domains, contrasting with Supervised Fine-Tuning's forgetting issues. Energy-Based Transformers (EBTs) are proposed as a promising alternative to traditional transformers. AI21 Labs updated its Jamba model family with enhanced grounding and instruction following, maintaining a 256K context window. Baidu open-sourced its massive 424 billion parameter Ernie 4.5 model, while Kontext-dev became the top trending model on Hugging Face. Advances in length generalization for recurrent models and the introduction of 2-simplicial attention were noted. In biomedical AI, Biomni, powered by Claude 4 Sonnet, demonstrated superior accuracy and rare disease diagnosis capabilities. Additionally, the Python package manager
uv received praise for improving Python installation workflows.
