# Loop Engineering - New Runtime

A New Runtime topic hub collecting signals, patterns, field notes, and public sources about loop engineering.

## Short Answer

- Loop Engineering is tracked here as an evidence-linked topic, not as a static glossary entry.
- The page connects raw observations to pattern hypotheses, longer analysis, and public sources.
- Use it as the canonical landing page before drilling into individual records.

## Patterns


## Field Notes

- [Language Models Need Sleep](https://newruntime.com/posts/language-models-need-sleep/): A new approach moves useful short-term context into model parameters through a consolidation phase, then has the model generate a synthetic curriculum and continue improving.
