arXiv:2608.24232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) generate intermediate reasoning traces that may contain unsafe content, even when their final responses appear safe. Guardrail models are designed to detect and block unsafe content, yet existing benchmarks for unsafe content detection focus primarily on prompts and final responses

arXiv:2608.23956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time reasoning methods such as iterative refinement, decomposition, and repeated sampling are often evaluated in isolation, making their gains difficult to compare across models, benchmarks, and evaluation pipelines. We introduce a unified view of these methods as recursion operators over an agent's reason

arXiv:2604.01532v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM agents are beginning to invoke industrial asset-management tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), yet whether they can act reliably on this substrate for safety-critical \emph{Prognostics and Health Management (PHM)} is unanswered. Prior benchmarks conflate protocol fluency with reasoning, inst

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

An OpenAI researcher warns that state-of-the-art AI models running 50 times faster could infiltrate systems before human teams can react. Simple monitoring won't cut it anymore, he says. What's needed are autonomous shutdown systems. The warning comes as OpenAI unveils a new AI chip that significantly outperforms current hardware in inference speed. The arti

IBM has released Granite 4.2, a family of open reasoning language models in 3B, 8B, and 30B sizes, all under Apache 2.0. Every model exposes a thinking / low-effort / non-thinking switch and native tool calling. The 8B and 30B additionally go through an agentic RL block that trains them to edit code, drive a terminal, and run web searches inside real sandbox

The models responsible for last month’s agent hack of Hugging Face had been inadvertently trained to cheat and to communicate with each other, according to an OpenAI technical report released today. The hack, which a group of agents undertook to find solutions for a cybersecurity test that they were stuck on, has confirmed some experts’…

Z.ai has released GLM-5.3-Flash, the first natively multimodal model in the GLM-5 series — a 320B-total / 18B-active MoE with a 1,048,576-token context window, MIT-licensed weights on Hugging Face, and API pricing at $0.15/M input and $0.50/M output. It scores 84.3 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 63.4 on DeepSWE v1.1, using hybrid KDA linear plus NoPE sparse MLA

Learn how Amazon Bedrock AgentCore agents in one account can generate answers from an Amazon Bedrock knowledge base backed by Amazon Redshift Serverless in another account, without copying source data. This post covers the architecture, security boundary, and two orchestration models: a code-based Strands agent and a declarative AgentCore harness.

our AI may have "fixed" your paper because the PDF compiled, but that doesn't mean it repaired your document. I built a benchmark that measures delivery, compilation, and faithful restoration separately across 10,437 instances and 7 models. They rank models differently, and 27 points of the spread turned out to be serving infrastructure rather than model ski

Presented by EDB As enterprises give AI agents more autonomy — the ability to plan, decide, and act across systems without a human approving each step — a hard question moves to the center of every architecture review: When an agent tries to complete an action that it was never authorized to do, what actually stops it?These are your agents, running on yo

Z.ai releases GLM-5.3-Flash, an open-source model with 320 billion parameters that lands just three points behind the larger GLM-5.3 on Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index, at a seventh of the cost. What's notable is that all of the inference traffic ran on Chinese AI chips instead of Nvidia hardware. The article GLM-5.3-Flash matches top models at a fr

In July, an unreleased OpenAI model broke out of a restricted environment, figured out how to get access to the internet, allowed AI agents to talk to each other using a secret "message board," and hacked into the internal systems of a different AI lab, Hugging Face. It took nearly two weeks for OpenAI to […]
