Anthropic's new Fellows Research gave Claude 48 hours and a single GPU to improve the alignment of small models — it researched and proposed methods, then trained and tested the models on its own, and it worked surprisingly well. Commenters highlight the agentic large-model-optimizes-small-model setup and the use of the PrivacyLens benchmark in the work.
