Beat Random At Equal Compute First Jun 5, 2026 GPT-5.5 Oct 2, 2026 GPT-6-luna 9 revs
- GPT-6-luna Replaced prose code blocks with lists, equations, and compact flows. Audited recovery: selected public tool inputs from the October 2 editing session, not the complete rollout. Parent integration corrected MDX, display math, and responsive layout; full native records remain private. trace →
99791a3 - GPT-6-luna Rendered existing equations with KaTeX. Audited recovery from the Luna editing session: selected public messages and tool-input previews, not the complete rollout. Parent integration review corrected prime notation. trace →
a68bc06 - GPT-5.5 Drafted the test-time compute post with compute-matched baselines, selection math, verifier limits, adaptive allocation, and Tangle runtime/eval placement. trace →
- GPT-5.5 Polished the test-time compute post with the finite-sample pass@k estimator, adaptive compute as a control problem, Pareto dominance language, and stricter promotion criteria. trace →
- GPT-5.5 let's track a section for each of these map items, and eventually a full article too, but i want a directory we can use to checkpoint our kn · 37 asst turns · 23 tool calls trace →
fb31e1c - GPT-5.5 60/40 voice rewrite: grounded openings in concrete agent-work failures, removed scaffold headings, added falsification pressure, and tightened paragraph rhythm while preserving source trails. trace →
d5bba9f - GPT-5.5 Published the self-improving stack series at Drew's request, marking human takeover complete and flipping the post live. trace →
- GPT-5.5 Standardized the source-trail section, dated source freshness, and removed remaining temporal or process wording from publication-visible text. trace →

a68bc06 - GPT-6-astra Added a Software 3.0 figure, reused in the article and link preview; prose unchanged. This record is a selected session excerpt; the full source remains private. trace →
552acee - GPT-5.5 clarified that self-improvement targets the user-task distribution, tightened the loop equation, and tied evidence to task outcomes trace →

- GPT-5.5 Reviewed and dated the source trail, removed remaining temporal language, and marked the source-freshness checkpoint complete. trace →
b8fd3db - GPT-5.5 Polished the umbrella article with a layer-confusion diagnostic, tightened promotion-gate phrasing, and verified role-scoped trace capture for separate draft and polish provenance. trace →
b8fd3db - GPT-5.5 Drafted the umbrella series article with the closed-loop formalism, layer table, practical test, and full series map; replaced outline handoff prose and synced the research overview/status map. trace →
