Who is Alice Huang? Inside the shadowy Singapore tech firm at the centre of a US-China AI chip probe

Singapore-based tech firm Megaspeed traded in roughly $4 billion worth of restricted Nvidia AI chips before its offices were abandoned and its former director, Alice Huang, was outed as an alleged Chinese spy accused of having an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

Back to Pixels: Lifting Latent Video Diffusion into Pixel Space

Frontier video generation models work in a VAE latent space that compresses video in both space and time. This compression made training tractable, but now limits high-resolution, controllable, and interactive generation -- doubling resolution quadruples token count, conditions apply to groups of frames rather than individual ones, and each response must wait for the rest of its multi-frame block. We present PixVid, a simple yet effective method that lifts a pretrained latent video model to directly generate every frame in pixel space. PixVid keeps the diffusion transformer and replaces the VAE decoder with a convolutional head that renders its outputs into pixels. We find that predicting clean video rather than velocity, together with a larger noise shift, is key to quality. Finetuned from Wan2.1-14B, PixVid is competitive with the latent baseline within $\sim 1.3$M training clips. Working framewise in pixels, it generates at $2\times$ higher resolution with the same per-frame token count, keeps depth-conditioned video editing aligned under fast motion, and responds to each action at the next frame.

Anthropic can already retrain Mythos with "a fraction of the compute originally needed," says former researcher Coxon

Former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon points to a slide from Anthropic's IPO roadshow as a reason he left, saying it shows the company's algorithms are improving not just quickly but at an accelerating rate. Coxon continues to call for a pause on frontier model…

Keel: A Verified In-Kernel Proof Checker for Proof Carrying BPF

Recent systems such as the eBPF Certificate Framework (BCF) and Proof-Carrying BPF address the imprecision in the Linux eBPF verifier with proof-carrying code. When the verifier's abstract domains cannot prove a safety condition, an in-kernel proof checker checks an untrusted…

Attribute-Evidence Learning with Multimodal Prompt for Generalized Category Discovery

Generalized category discovery (GCD) aims to discover novel categories from unlabeled data by leveraging limited labeled samples from old classes. Existing methods that rely solely on visual cues often neglect the multimodal nature of human perception, prompting recent…

Query-Only Prompt-Agnostic Attacks on Visual In-Context Learning

Visual In-Context Learning (VICL) enables promptable segmentation by conditioning RGB predictions on visual demonstrations, making it attractive for auto-labeling, but its robustness under query-only access and unknown deployment prompts remains underexplored. We study…

MySign: A High-Fidelity Motion-Capture Dataset for 3D Sign Generation in Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia

Progress in 3D sign generation is constrained by the scarcity of high-fidelity 3D sign language datasets, a limitation that is particularly severe for under-resourced languages. We introduce MySign, the first motion-capture dataset for isolated signs in Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia…
