Titans learns during inference—but what if it learns the wrong thing? An experiment shows recall never fully recovers
pardhu-- · reddit · 2026-10-26
A Reddit user published a visual explainer of the Titans architecture—attention with fixed parameters handling in-window details, plus a neural memory that compresses earlier information into its own adaptive weights—and ran a small synthetic experiment. Key finding: after correcting false inputs, recall improved but never fully returned to its unpolluted state. The post raises open questions about what AI should be allowed to remember automatically and how mistakes in memory could be undone.
