When language models reason in chain-of-thought or exchange free-text intermediates, they serialize structured information into natural language. How much tree-structured compositional content survives this bottleneck? We propose a round-trip protocol that answers this question empirically for tree-structured expressions. A generator converts a procedurally generated arithmetic expression into a word problem, a separate extractor recovers the…

Cursor’s rules system quietly became one of the most-configured parts of the editor in 2026. Every serious team running Cursor now keeps a stack of .mdc files that tell the Agent how to write code, which libraries to avoid, and which folders need extra scrutiny. The problem is that nobody ships good tooling for managing…
AMD confirmed on September 28, 2026 that it will acquire World Labs, the spatial-intelligence AI lab co-founded by Fei-Fei Li, in an all-stock transaction valued at $8.2 billion. The deal is AMD’s second-largest ever, trailing only the roughly $50 billion Xilinx acquisition it closed in 2022, and it marks the chipmaker’s most direct move yet…
