arXiv:2608.02630v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge graph engineering often distributes accepted state, observations, constraints, processes, and hypothetical scenarios across artifacts whose combined execution contract remains external. We present PULSE, an Object-Process-Methodology-inspired language that localizes four operational roles and their write effects in one typed runtime. Here, modes denote operational roles rather than modal or deontic logic. The implemented contract fixes evidence non-overwrite, branch isolation, grounded multi-subject timers, guarded state change, and declaration-ranked event ordering over time and space; an external runner still decides whether evidence becomes an authoritative move. GeoSPARQL, SOSA, and SHACL remain generated views. A core calculus…

arXiv:2608.02618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent studies have identified an ``Artificial Hivemind'' effect in Large Language Models (LLMs) causing models to converge on a narrow, homogenized consensus even for open questions. This semantic collapse limits the diversity of AI, resulting in high inter-response similarity ($\approx 0.80-0.90$) even under high-temperature sampling. In this paper, we propose a novel mitigation framework to increase diversity: Meta-Persona Anchoring combined with Filtered Temperature Scaling (FTS). Our approach utilizes a two-stage generation process: first, the model is prompted to self-select a unique, idiosyncratic persona to anchor its starting point; second, we apply a dual-stage sampling sieve, utilizing Top-$p$ filtering to preserve grammatical val…

arXiv:2608.02606v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fault tolerance in classical computing has traditionally relied on static strategies like hardware redundancy and error-correcting codes. Biological systems, in contrast, exhibit adaptive plasticity, maintaining function through dynamic re-organisation around damage. Inspired by this principle, we introduce Self-Organising Digital Circuits, framing functional logic generation and maintenance as a meta-learning problem on graphs. Our architecture employs a topology-masked Transformer that configures the Lookup Tables (LUT) of a circuit's Boolean gates. Extending the pattern-generation paradigm of Neural Cellular Automata (NCA), it navigates the degenerate Boolean search space to satisfy a computational task, rather than regenerating a fixed t…

arXiv:2608.02604v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based agents are increasingly being deployed for data-related tasks, including data sense-making, exploration, and retrieval. However, their performance heavily depends on the clarity and completeness of data semantics. In practice, many field descriptions remain ambiguous or incomplete, as much of the essential context (e.g., the meaning of a customized field) originates from users' domain knowledge and is rarely documented publicly. This gap restricts the agents' task performance in downstream tasks, such as entity-linking. To bridge this gap, we introduce a novel and comprehensive Interactive SEmantic Enrichment system (ISEE). Given a data field description, ISEE measures its quality through a scoring system, gathers domain knowledge,…

Technology holding company Bending Spoons S.p.A. today announced plans to acquire Airtable Inc., the developer of a popular cloud-based spreadsheet platform. The all-cash deal is worth $1.285 billion. That’s less than the approximately $1.4 billion Airtable has raised from its investors. The company was valued at $11.7 billion following its most recent funding round, a […] The post Bending Spoons to acquire productivity software startup Airtable for $1.285B appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

We study outlier tokens in Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) for image generation. Prior work has shown that Vision Transformers (ViTs) can produce a small number of high-norm tokens that attract disproportionate attention while carrying limited local information, but their role in generative models remains underexplored. We show that this phenomenon appears in both the encoder and denoiser of modern Representation Autoencoder (RAE)-DiT pipelines: pretrained ViT encoders can produce outlier representations, and DiTs themselves can develop internal outlier tokens, especially in intermediate layers…

I released LLM 0.32 this morning, the most significant new version of LLM since the initial launch of the project. The new version includes support for visible reasoning traces, server-side provider tools, redesigned content-addressable SQLite logs, new models, and new features enabled by the OpenAI Responses API. I also released new versions of the llm-anthropic, llm-gemini, and llm-openrouter plugins, each with substantial updates of their own. Headline features for LLM CLI users Running LLM against reasoning models now displays their reasoning traces to standard error, so you can see what they are "thinking" without that information being included in the standard output that you might pipe to another tool. Add -R/--hide-reasoning to turn this off. LLM includes support out-of-the-box fo…

Researcher says simpler writing by AI is easier to read and digest, but this does not mean human authors are obsolete From Homer’s Odyssey to Agatha Christie’s crime fiction, humans have produced plenty of tales to grace the bookshelf. But research suggests artificial intelligence may now be providing some competition.

Each AI story had a similar theme to one of the human-authored works. Continue reading...
