Frontier model regret: belief loss on complex problems, optimization residual without reasoning
JessicaHullman · x · 2026-10-23
Thread follow-up: two patterns in frontier models — on more complex problems, regret is mostly belief loss; without reasoning mode, regret is mostly optimization residual, i.e., it's hard to get the model to optimize under the provided utility.
