Recent analysis of 66.6 million logged‑out GPT‑5.6 Luna sessions reveals that just 14.4 % of responses triggered a live web search in August‑September 2026, with an average of 1.6 follow‑up queries when a search did occur. This data highlights a clear…
Continue reading Only 14% of ChatGPT Answers Use Live Web Searches, Signaling a Shift in AI Retrieval StrategiesA recent research paper on adapter‑based fine‑tuning finds that the most noticeable impact of fine‑tuning large language models is a change in surface form rather than a genuine boost in capability. The authors report that “fine‑tuning shifts output…
Continue reading Fine‑tuning Shifts Model Output Form Before True Competence, New Study ShowsA new research paper reveals that the most noticeable impact of fine‑tuning large language models is a shift in output style rather than a true change in capability. Experiments showed that fine‑tuned models often register lower scores on…
Continue reading Fine‑tuning Mostly Alters Style, Not Competence, Recent Study FindsAnthropic announced that its latest anti‑distillation measures have slashed the amount of data that can be harvested by illicit model‑copying attempts by roughly 90‑99%. The company detailed a suite of technical upgrades—including “preserved thinking” that locks a model’s…
