That success is built on static pretraining data. A deployed model faces a different world, where much of the data that would make it more useful is not in its training set but in the live interaction it is currently handling, such as the facts a user supplies or the corrections they give. A conventional model cannot learn from this data, because its weights are frozen after training. Instead, the knowledge and behaviour supplied at run time are placed in the prompt, by retrieval or instruction, and re-read on every request only to be discarded once the request ends. We ask how an architecture could learn from live interaction by writing it into its weights.…
