Magic's roadmap: long-context RL, latent-knowledge alignment, then a model release
magicailabs · x · 2026-09-09
Following its pretraining update, Magic outlines next steps: scaling RL with long context to teach agents test-time learning, using RL against the model's own latent knowledge of its intent for stronger theoretical alignment properties, and further pretraining improvements — with a model release planned afterwards.
