Pi Network has launched four key updates ahead of its November 17-19 Ecosystem Summit, enhancing developer tools, token price tracking, AI-assisted app packaging, and identity verification services. Developers now have a redesigned portal for app settings, and the Pi BlockExplorer shows historical prices for testnet tokens. The SoloHost AI feature aids in preparing apps for Pi Desktop, while PiVerify adds advanced face and liveness checks for businesses. These improvements aim to support the…
AI agents from startups including Dazzle, Duckbill and Wajo still rely on human workers for calls and other real-world tasks when software falls short.
Companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to develop artificial intelligence models, hoping to establish technological advantages that could translate into lasting commercial returns. But as competitors release increasingly capable models within months of one another,
Key TakeawaysBroadcom's new backstop on a $63 billion Anthropic rack financing carries a maximum potential liability of about $43 billion, on top of an earlier $29 billion backstop. AI semiconductor revenue rose 221% to $16.
Dataline announced a $10.6 million funding round alongside the initial cohort of AI Data Launch partners, marking a major step toward becoming the data lifeline in the era of AI.
Data attribution methods for Language Models (LMs) are typically evaluated using downstream tasks like fact retrieval. However, existing evaluations vary multiple dataset properties simultaneously, making it impossible to isolate exactly why an attribution algorithm fails. To diagnose these failures, we explore the design space of LLM data attribution, with a primary focus on evaluation. We introduce the Controlled Attribution Benchmark (CATT) for fact tracing, in which we fine-tune LLMs on entirely fictitious knowledge, providing unambiguous ground truth for attribution. This synthetic setup allows us to systematically alter one dataset configuration at a time, such as document redundancy and lexical distractors. With this configurable evaluation, we demonstrate that redundancy and distractors consistently degrade attribution performance. Rather than proposing a new estimator, we examine two design choices that are underexplored: the loss used to compute gradients and how per-token attribution scores are aggregated into a document score. We find that the true causal evidence within a training document is highly localized, but standard methods dilute this evidence into noise by…
The Hacktron blog documents how the group was able to compromise the GNU Savannah forge and could have pushed malware into any of the projects hosted there. Using Hacktron, we found that an email address like `touch${IFS}/tmp/savane-rce-proof`@attacker.example gave any…
The prompt is built automatically as "" * num_pages + "Multi page parsing.", and each page is encoded as one global view (base mode). The output contains one per input page, in the same order as image_files.
Large language models are increasingly used for financial guidance, yet little is known about whether their advice changes across social identities in Global South contexts. We introduce the Indian Financial Automated Advice Bias (IFAAB) benchmark, a counterfactual audit…
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) typically mitigates distribution shift by imposing divergence constraints on the action distributions of the learned and behavior policies. However, this paradigm cannot ensure the underlying dynamic consistency structure: even minor action…
Language models increasingly create 3D content through code, with practical workflows often relying on editing existing programs rather than regenerating them, for speed and precise control. Such edits require understanding what a program builds and foreseeing how a change…
Fully Sharded Data Parallelism (FSDP2) maintains parameters and gradients as per-parameter tensors, whereas its collective path operates on flat, rank-major buffers. Converting between these layouts copies all-gather outputs into parameter storage and packs gradients into…
