RT @dair_ai: // Improving Efficiency of Evolutionary AI Agents //

Evolutionary AI agents are powerful but can be wasteful.

Systems, inspired by AlphaEvolve and OpenEvolve, iteratively generate, mutate, and refine candidate solutions using LLMs. However, every refinement step invokes the same large model regardless of task difficulty.

Most mutations don't need a 32B model.

This new research introduces AdaptEvolve, a framework that dynamically selects which model handles each evolutionary step based on intrinsic generation confidence.

Instead of routing everything through the largest available model, a lightweight decision tree router estimates whether the small model's output is sufficient or needs escalation.

The confidence signal comes from four entropy-based metrics computed on the small model's token probabilities: Mean Confidence for global assurance, Lowest Group Confidence for localized reasoning collapses, Tail Confidence for solution stability, and Bottom-K% Confidence for distinguishing noise from systematic hallucination.

A shallow decision tree, bootstrapped from just 50 warm-up examples, uses these signals to make real-time routing decisions.

What makes this practical?

The router adapts online. An Adaptive Hoeffding Tree continuously updates its decision boundaries as the evolutionary population drifts toward harder edge cases.

On LiveCodeBench, AdaptEvolve retains 97.9% of the 32B upper-bound accuracy (73.6% vs 75.2%) while cutting compute cost by 34.4%. On MBPP, the router identifies that 85% of queries are solvable by the 4B model alone, reducing cost by 41.5% while maintaining 97.1% of peak accuracy. Across benchmarks, the method reduces total inference compute by 37.9% while retaining 97.5% of the upper-bound performance.

Evolutionary agents don't need maximum capability at every step. Confidence-driven routing turns the cost-capability trade-off from a fixed choice into a dynamic, per-step decision.

RT @zephyr_z9: Chinese AI CAPEX (include SEA buildout as well) will surprise us

Some accounts are consistently high-alpha like david orr or zephyr. you just consume it and keep rising higher with them. some, like mine, are very lumpy, high volatility, with some great winners and other dumpster stocks. Follow the track record. Trust the track record.

Yakult announces 2.56% s/o buyback with 8.08% of issued share cancellation. Another cash hoarding company that realises: we don't need this much cash. 2 yrs ago i felt many corp gov changes were 'reactive' - recently i feel they are more 'proactive'. https://t.co/8hihJTh5wt

If you haven't read this stack article on MARUWA $5344.T, an 'AI optical infrastructure' supplier with 60% share of heat dissipation substractes crucial to optical transceivers, it's still not too late. Market expected to grow 60% CAGR over 5 yrs, and Maruwa ebit margins are 36%. https://t.co/UnHwTykb1x

PIA 4337 ticketing platform showing op lev inflection, q3 ebit up 150% y/y vs. 24% rev. trades for 4x ev/ebit. ticketing platform alone gross margin > 40%, and likely ebit margin 20%+, diluted by event production. This sub-5x ev/ebit with 40%+ gpm 10% rev cagr is my sweet spot.

The way to play this in japan: Ferrotec $6890.T - vacuum seals and quartz/silicon/ceramics parts co w/ China subsidiary "CCMC" worth 2x 6890's market cap. Ferrotec itself is still trading at 6.7x ebitda with 11% ebit margins. likely 2026 winner https://t.co/d7SuCQESmH

RT @Charteddaily: The shift towards travel to Asia is even more pronounced in Australia - 55% of short-term trips in 2025 were to Asia, up from just 19% in 1979.
Post-Covid growth in travel to Indonesia and Japan has been phenomenal, and China looks set to overtake the US in fourth spot in 2026. https://t.co/poJfohhoUC

China has overtaken the USA as New Zealand's third most popular overseas destination (after Australia and Fiji).
It's part of a broader shift towards Asia - visits to Japan, India, Indonesia, the Philippines & Viet Nam are all at record highs. Asia now accounts for ~25% of trips. https://t.co/4tGWtMeB6w
