NSFT cuts each expert in a Mixture-of-Experts model into channel groups and trains only the ones that matter — beating LoRA and ESFT on accuracy per trained parameter, and forgetting less along the way.
A technique for stripping a model's refusals went from a research curiosity to a business, and then agents started doing similar things to each other. Four posts, in the order they happened — two quick news items and the two deep dives that explain what was actually going on underneath them.
