Georeferencing a Scanned Geological Map From Ground Control Points
Georeferencing scanned maps with an affine fit from ground control points, and why a leave-one-out check catches a misread coordinate that least squares hides.
Your AI Agent Can Read Its Own Answer Key
Agents with file and shell tools can reach the grading rubric on disk. What we measured across 50 questions, which fixes failed, and what the harness does now.
Recursive Self-Improvement Is Hard for Big Labs
Why RL breaks down for recursive self-improvement at scale, and the two paths around it after six years building continuously-learning models.
Why You Should Care Whether Anthropic or OpenAI was First to Solve a Millennium Prize Problem
OpenAI's Navier–Stokes proof drew accusations that it front-ran independent mathematicians. A warning about doing research on AI you don't control.
Self-Improving AI Agent Architecture: The Four Components
A self-improving AI agent architecture needs an actor, a memory store, an evaluator and a way to undo. Where each breaks, and why the evaluator rules.
Self-Improving AI: What Has Actually Been Demonstrated
Self-improving AI systems that revise their own harness, weights or data: an evidence audit of what has been shown by 2026, and what still has not.
How to Build a New World Model via Coherence Mapping
Learn how to build a new world model via coherence mapping by connecting geological observations, reducing uncertainty, and finding relationships that explain mineral systems.
Which AI Model Is Best for Your Geology?
Best AI for Geology Testing. See how Groundtruth's dynamic benchmark tests models on your own data, comparing accuracy, cost, and performance.
