K12-Bench: New Test of AI Curriculum Understanding

Why your AI tutor can't see how math builds on itself

Peking University's K12-Bench reveals that even the best language models barely understand how school concepts connect. Scores of 57% and 46% show a blind spot in AI's ability to handle prerequisite chains, concept taxonomies, and visual grounding, skills that real tutors use every day.

LLM distillation

LLM distillation stalls when context goes static. Flux-OPD makes it evolve

Contexts can carry task preferences into LLM training, but once distilled into a student they add little supervision. Peking University's Flux-OPD keeps the context moving with the student and uses a conflict term to weight teacher corrections. The abstract reports gains over existing OPD paradigms without naming numbers.

The simple topology trick that beats prompt magic in LLM induction tasks

A new methodology called Hourglass reasoning enforces strict context isolation between induction, deduction, and implementation stages, passing only a compressed symbolic rule between them. On ARC-AGI-2, it raises best-of-5 accuracy by up to 14 points over iterative refinement; on ChipBench Verilog synthesis, it nearly doubles accuracy with GPT-5.5. Ablations confirm the topology itself drives the improvement.

A 40nm chip just made Nvidia's A100 look 478 times slower

A joint team from Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has built a neuromorphic chip that processes neural dynamics 50 to 478 times faster than an NVIDIA A100 GPU while using a fraction of the power. The 40nm phase-change memristor chip achieves millisecond-level real-time neural dynamics, opening the door to surgical navigation and brain digital twins.
