Beyond Market Intelligence keeps ablation in one place: 3 stories so far. The section currently leads with “Tracking radar objects over time unlocks deeper classification insights”, “Your spreadsheet lens still works after a model upgrade.”, and “Exploring how one small edit can unravel a chess AI's deepest strategy”. A single radar scan of an object averages just 2.9 points, barely a whisper of data. A Jacobian lens fitted to one checkpoint is not supposed to work on the next model in the line. Acme AI is the next-generation, AI-powered spreadsheet platform built to replace Excel and redefine how analysts, data scientists, and enterprise teams work… The list below is every ablation story on Beyond Market Intelligence, newest first.
Tracking radar objects over time unlocks deeper classification insights
A single radar scan of an object averages just 2.9 points, barely a whisper of data. Bruno Pinto's work shows that accumulating observations over a tracked object's history unlocks far deeper classification insights, boosting macro F1 from 0.737 to 0.861 without even using scan order. Temporal modeling adds a meaningful but smaller gain. The real lesson: more context beats fancier architecture.

Your spreadsheet lens still works after a model upgrade.
A Jacobian lens fitted to one checkpoint is not supposed to work on the next model in the line. That is the assumption, and it went untested until now. One researcher applied the published Qwen3.6-27B lens directly to Qwen3.8-27B, 113 days newer. The latent entity readout held its rank, even improving at mid-depth. Steering directions still found their target concept. Transfer is measurable, not perfect. That suggests monitoring pipelines can test their lenses instead of blindly refitting.
Exploring how one small edit can unravel a chess AI's deepest strategy
One head. Out of 128. Remove it, and a chess transformer stops seeing Morphy's legendary queen sacrifice entirely. That's the kind of surgical fragility worth pausing over, not because it breaks the model, but because it reveals how much meaning concentrates in a single parameter. The Chessformer Lens demo makes that visible, and the GitHub notebooks let you verify it yourself. For anyone curious about interpretability, this is a hands-on invitation to explore.
