The team encountered memory issues with daemonsets, particularly with listwatching namespaces, which increased memory usage and put pressure on the apiserver. They optimized Calico's memory usage and then discovered Vector was also listwatching namespaces, leading to a 50% memory reduction after disabling this behavior.
Researchers investigated whether AI models can truly introspect by testing Claude models with concept injection experiments and found some degree of introspective awareness in the most capable models. The results suggest that models can recognize and report on their internal states, but this capability is still highly unreliable and limited in scope, and more research is needed to understand ...
