Vantora's shift to a proprietary M&A pipeline lets industrial partners like J.B. Hunt retain full control over physical AI systems for hardware...
An AI chatbot hallucinated false intelligence claiming a Chinese vessel carried nuclear weapons components, nearly launching a US military operation...
WeVisDoc's two-stage framework first expands coverage via heterogeneous data and degradation synthesis, then applies held-out probes to diagnose...
A new arXiv paper titled The Pain Axis claims LLMs represent self-directed harm and act to relieve it. This offers limited insight into model inner states, as surface behaviors alone do not confirm genuine self-preservation mechanisms.
Even with the exact same model (kimi k3) and saturated tasks from tbench2.1, different harnesses produced a 10x cost delta. This makes harness design a hidden but decisive variable in agent benchmarking.
WidgetGNN applies graph neural networks to generate adaptive human-machine interface layouts at interactive speeds, showcasing a direct path from graph reasoning to real-world productized systems.
Anthropic is placing Accenture staff inside the lab to evaluate models, red-team systems, and test safeguards — the first step in Dario Amodei’s...
Vendor-chosen metrics are losing trust as companies game outdated academic benchmarks and cherry-pick results for PR. Vals was founded in 2024 to...
Spatial intelligence demands more than describing locations—it requires actively gathering missing evidence and issuing metric commands under...
Termination-token mismatch between base students and post-trained teachers suppresses the student's preferred EOS action without reliably transferring...
Can a shared predictive-learning principle support world models across radically different environments?
OpenAI used its own LLMs to design the Jalapeño chip, then deployed internal AI models to optimize software for benchmarks like SemiAnalysis’s...
Trajectory optimization reaches a 97.5% success rate in dense-obstacle formation navigation, with AE-GNN enabling effective graph-based coordination among agents.
Standard benchmarks miss the real risks of enterprise AI assistants. PACT shows even top models violate rules on 6-10% of items, with ordinary user pressure raising violations by 65% across regulated domains.
Two recent studies show harness design—not model scale—now limits autonomous coding agents on extended tasks.
AI-generated intelligence nearly prompted a strike on a girls' school by fabricating IRGC family connections, revealing the severe operational risks when hallucinated outputs feed directly into high-stakes military targeting.
Could programmable search with market-based compute pricing become a new layer for AI research agents?
Dario Amodei’s “pace the frontier” plan hinges on independent safety evaluators and coordination among democratic-country labs.
Why would a leading AGI lab create a dedicated institute for public discourse?
