RT @rryssf_: Holy shitโ€ฆ this paper from MIT quietly explains how models can teach themselves to reason when theyโ€™re completely stuck ๐Ÿคฏ

The core idea is deceptively simple:

Reasoning fails because learning has nothing to latch onto.

When a modelโ€™s success rate drops to near zero, reinforcement learning stops working. No reward signal. No gradient. No improvement. The model isnโ€™t โ€œbad at reasoningโ€ โ€” itโ€™s trapped beyond the edge of learnability.

This paper reframes the problem.

Instead of asking โ€œHow do we make the model solve harder problems?โ€
They ask: โ€œHow does a model create problems it can learn from?โ€

Thatโ€™s where SOAR comes in.

SOAR splits a single pretrained model into two roles:

โ€ข A student that attempts extremely hard target problems
โ€ข A teacher that generates new training problems for the student

But the constraint is brutal.

The teacher is never rewarded for clever questions, diversity, or realism.

Itโ€™s rewarded only if the studentโ€™s performance improves on a fixed set of real evaluation problems.

No improvement? No reward.

This changes the dynamics completely.

The teacher isnโ€™t optimizing for aesthetics or novelty.
Itโ€™s optimizing for learning progress.

Over time, the teacher discovers something humans usually hard-code manually:

Intermediate problems.

Not solved versions of the target task.
Not watered-down copies.

But problems that sit just inside the studentโ€™s current capability boundary โ€” close enough to learn from, far enough to matter.

Hereโ€™s the surprising part.

Those generated problems do not need correct answers.

They donโ€™t even need to be solvable by the teacher.

What matters is structure.

If the question forces the student to reason in the right direction, gradient signal emerges even without perfect supervision. Learning happens through struggle, not imitation.

Thatโ€™s why SOAR works where direct RL fails.

Instead of slamming into a reward cliff, the student climbs a staircase it helped build.

The experiments make this painfully clear.

On benchmarks where models start at absolute zero โ€” literally 0 successes โ€” standard methods flatline. With SOAR, performance begins to rise steadily as the curriculum reshapes itself around the modelโ€™s internal knowledge.

This is a quiet but radical shift.

We usually think reasoning is limited by model size, data scale, or training compute.

This paper suggests another bottleneck entirely:

Bad learning environments.

If models can generate their own stepping stones, many โ€œreasoning limitsโ€ stop being limits at all.

No new architecture.
No extra human labels.
No bigger models.

Just better incentives for how learning unfolds.

The uncomfortable implication is this:

Reasoning plateaus arenโ€™t fundamental.

Theyโ€™re self-inflicted.

And the path forward isnโ€™t forcing models to think harder itโ€™s letting them decide what to learn next.

So I read their docs, studied the research on "psychological" prompts, and turned it into something you'll actually use:

โ†’ 30 principles with examples
โ†’ Prompt engineering mini-course
โ†’ 15 strategic use cases

$DUOL could be the next $PYPL.
It could also be the next $NFLX.

The truth is no one knows what AI will do to the business, what the next earnings will show or where the company will be in 10 years.

Iโ€™ve said many times that buying $DUOL today is gambling, nothing more, nothing less. Itโ€™s a bet on personal bias and the hope that management can guide to 20%+ growth in FY26.

Might happen. Might not.

There is no way to anticipate this today although signals point more to caution than greed.

$Duol is dead.. It might never come back like $PYPL ๐Ÿฅฒ https://t.co/NpPuUlPKIa

$TMDX finished January with 894 flights, implying ~$61M in revenue.

That's ~40% of their last quarter in the bank. In a month. The company is expected to generate ~$155M Q4-25.

Yet the stock still trades at ~8x sales, with a product gaining traction, new innovation coming, new organs coming, limited competition, a defensive healthcare business, international expansion ahead, and a FY26 guidance that could be massive to the upside.

Why is this stock getting no love?

Once more, prop to @SingularityRes for the dashboard.

๐Ÿšจ $TMDX is dirt cheap again, and I donโ€™t say that often.

Markets are globally anxious and December flights were weaker than expected. Theyโ€™re trending at 24.2 flights/day, below Octoberโ€“November averages, bringing Q4-25 to ~24.6 flights/day.

If this average holds:
~2,263 flights in Q4-25
$154.4M Q4 revenue
~$599M FY25 revenue
+35.6% YoY growth
~7x P/S

For context, OrganOx, with inferior growth and fundamentals, was acquired at 21x sales. That doesnโ€™t mean $TMDX should trade there, but the gap is undeniable.

One odd data: 12 planes havenโ€™t been used in December. No clear explanation why, could be slower transplant demand or maintenance keeping planes grounded, potentially increasing third-party or ground transports. I won't model this as I don't know but my assumptions are a floor, not a ceiling.

Bottom line: Even with a softer December, $TMDX can still hit midpoint guidance - guidance thatโ€™s been raised three times this year.

Looking ahead to FY26:
โ€ข New growth vectors (hearts & lungs)
โ€ข International expansion
โ€ข Minimal exposure to AI CapEx cycles or recession risk

$TMDX is once again one of the best buys in the market at this price.

Peter Thiel on how the PayPal team didnโ€™t get alongโ€”and why thatโ€™s good:

โ€œWe were less smoothly functioningโ€ฆ but people felt ownership. They raised their voices when things were off track.โ€
PayPal went from $0 to $1.5B in 4 years.

Peter thinks its intense culture was key to its success:

โ€œThe PayPal period was a very compressed four years from start to when eBay acquired it. It was a relatively entrepreneurial, somewhat chaotic culture. We had a lot of very strong personalities.โ€

He contrasts that with hiring people who just fall-in-line and argue less:
โ€I think a lot of companies bias towards having people who just drink the Kool-Aid. There's plusses and minuses to both. You'll have a more smoothly functioning company, but less dissent when things are going wrong.โ€

The PayPal Mafia was a team that argued, obsessed, and cared deeply. It didnโ€™t mind friction. That culture ultimately minted a generation of legendary founders: Elon Musk. Max Levchin. Reid Hoffman. David Sacks. Chad Hurley. Jeremy Stoppelman.
