arXiv:2608.10954v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate impressive performance in benign scenarios, their cognitive reliability deteriorates significantly in complex scenes under adverse conditions. In these settings, models often rely on implicit inference without sufficient visual evidence, leadi

arXiv:2608.26950v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are evolving from performing end-to-end mathematical reasoning to integrating agentic intelligence. However, most existing math benchmarks evaluate only final answers. This outcome-oriented evaluation provides limited diagnostic value for identifying process-level failures or rigoro

Google Deepmind is testing a double-blind evaluation of a frontier AI model for the first time. Cryptographic protection through Confidential Space is meant to keep Google from seeing the test questions and keep evaluators from seeing the model weights. The pilot project with the Singapore AI Safety Institute uses a Gemini Flash Lite and could set a new stan

LAION's Big Video Dataset (BVD) is one of the largest open video datasets for AI research, with 80 million videos, 10 million hours of runtime, and 55 million auto-described clips. Models trained on BVD beat the previous benchmark, InternVid, by up to 2.1 percentage points. Legally, LAION can likely point to a 2024 Hamburg court ruling that allows collecting

Google Research and UNSW Sydney released GlucoFM, a self-supervised foundation model that splits a CGM trace into a slow physiological stream and a transient event stream instead of encoding it as one sequence. At 0.72M parameters it reached 58.8 task-averaged PR-AUC across 14 cohort–task evaluations, beating a 135M GluFormer and a 385M MOMENT. It remains

We look at Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, Google's production update to its native multimodal video generation and editing model. We break down what changed: scene extension now reads up to 10 seconds of prior context instead of a single final frame, first and last frames can be pinned to control camera movement, and video clips can be passed as references for chara

Pollen Robotics, the Bordeaux robotics team at Hugging Face, opened pre-orders for Microduck — a 25 cm bipedal robot where every movement is a neural policy trained in MuJoCo and exported to ONNX. At $399, it puts the full sim-to-real loop on a desk: 15 motors, camera, LiDAR, two IMUs, and an Apache-2.0 training stack you can retrain yourself. The post Hug
