These Russian Mathematicians Taught AI Models How to Talk to Each Other Without Using Words

WIRED — AI · · International · AI Governance

A Russian startup called Mostik has developed a method that allows AI models to communicate with each other without using natural language. The approach is designed to combine the capabilities of multiple AI systems in a novel way.

Why this matters: Most AI pipelines today pass plain text between models, which is slow and lossy. If models can coordinate through something other than words, they can act faster and more autonomously. That matters for anyone thinking about oversight. The harder it is to read what AI systems are saying to each other, the harder it is to audit what they are actually doing. Efficiency gains are real. So is the accountability gap that comes with them.
