Google Cloud Unveils Agent Compute Engine: AI Agent Credentials Kept Outside Hardware Sandbox

Google Cloud Agent Compute Engine, launched October 22, 2026, gives every AI agent its own hardware-isolated microVM powered by the Titanium IPU, with service credentials injected outside the sandbox so a prompt injection attack finds nothing to steal. Agent Substrate on GKE is open-source and

A Unified Framework for Image-to-3D Part Generation via Variable Granularity

Controllable 3D part generation is pivotal for digital asset creation, yet existing methods lack the flexibility to accommodate diverse user workflows requiring varying levels of control. In this paper, we introduce FlexPart, a unified image-to-3D part generation framework that supports variable-granularity geometric conditions within a single model. By seamlessly integrating heterogeneous inputs, ranging from sparse points to dense bounding boxes and masks, via gated adaptive modulation, FlexPart unlocks a powerful cross-modal synergy. We also propose an asymmetric geometric guidance mechanism that leverages strong spatial priors to align representations across granularities, improving geometric consistency and facilitating inter-task synergy. Under mask conditioning on PartVerseXL, FlexPart reduces Part CD by 16.6% relative to TripoSG + SAM3D and by 10.5% relative to OmniPart, while maintaining competitive whole-mesh quality. The code can be found at https://github.com/Gucci233/FlexPart

Climate Variability Modulates the Impact of Price Spikes on Food Insecurity

Climate variability influences whether a market disruption escalates into a food crisis, yet broad climate patterns like El Niño, tracked months before they alter hydro-climatic conditions, are still not incorporated as an early-warning component in food-security responses. We…

NAVIR: Neuromorphic Audio-Visual Speech Recognition for Robust Human-Robot Interaction on Edge Hardware

Voice-controlled interaction in industrial settings is hampered by acoustic noise, which severely degrades audio-only speech recognition. Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) addresses this by fusing lip-motion cues with the audio stream, but state-of-the-art pipelines rely…

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Childhood Stunting in Bangladesh: Fairness and Temporal Robustness Assessment

Childhood stunting remains a major public health concern in Bangladesh and reflects long-term growth failure influenced by child, maternal, household, socioeconomic, and health-service factors. This study used nationally representative Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey…

Tactile-JEPA: Topology-Aware Self-Supervised Representation Learning for Distributed Tactile Sensors

Tactile sensing is an essential modality for robots performing contact-rich, dexterous manipulation, particularly under visual occlusion. While pre-trained image encoders are standard in robot learning pipelines, tactile encoders are still commonly trained from scratch from…
