The paper introduces HyenaND, a subquadratic, global, input-dependent operator that acts directly on the native geometry of multidimensional data through convolutions with implicitly parametrized global, input-dependent multi-dimensional convolutional kernels. Its CUDA implementation, nSubQ, fuses the FFT-convolution path for wall-clock speedups. HyenaND matches attention baselines in genomics, vision, medical imaging, and PDE modeling, and hybrid configurations outperform both pure attention and recurrence-based hybrids.

A new paper introduces MemHop, a multi-hop memory benchmark, and ProGraph, a two-layer memory architecture that combines profile expansion and compression residuals to improve long-term memory for LLM agents.

To address the quadratic complexity of self-attention in long chain-of-thought reasoning models, this paper proposes LISA, a plug-and-play attention module that reduces inference complexity from O(n²) to O(nM) via parallel linear attention and a lightning indexer, achieving 50% speedup and 5.6% average performance gain on reasoning benchmarks.

This paper introduces a lightweight inference-time decoding layer that enhances autoregressive generative recommender systems to support multiobjective slate generation without retraining. It formulates decoding as an online constrained optimization problem, dynamically adjusting trade-offs between relevance and auxiliary objectives via a stochastic primal-dual approximation scheme. Theoretical guarantees on constraint violation and regret are provided. Extensive offline experiments and a large-scale online A/B test demonstrate consistent improvements in multiobjective trade-offs, including a +1.8% gain in the auxiliary objectives achieved at zero cost to user satisfaction.

It achieves strong benchmark results with minimal latency.

A new study reveals that large language models (LLMs) struggle significantly with information discernment: they perform near chance at distinguishing reliable from unreliable sources and at updating beliefs toward the truth. The Learn2Discern framework, tested on 13 models and nearly 670K trials, shows models rely twice as much on source popularity as on reliability and update equally whether a claim improves or worsens accuracy. A user study (n=299) confirms these failures reduce trust and usage intent. Simple inference-time interventions can partially improve both forms of discernment.

FORMULASPIN introduces a self-play framework for generating spreadsheet formulas from natural language, overcoming the limitations of supervised fine-tuning by leveraging formula executability as implicit supervision.

A new study benchmarks the performance cost of enabling confidential computing for LLM inference on an NVIDIA H100 GPU under Intel TDX. Using Mistral-7B and Qwen3-30B-A3B models, results show a 21.8%-27.8% increase in time-to-first-token and 17.7%-21.1% drop in global token throughput in confidential mode. The larger model reaches saturation earlier, highlighting the need for capacity planning adjustments.

OpenEvoShield is a continual defense framework for LLM-based multi-agent systems that addresses dual dynamics of attack adaptation and normal behavior drift, using an asymmetric rate controller, dynamic boundary updater, EWC-regularized policy ensemble, and energy-based detector to detect unknown attacks with low false positives across 100 deployment rounds.

The paper proposes FraudShield AI, a hybrid framework combining LSTM networks with hand-crafted graph topological features to address extreme data imbalance (0.13% fraud rate) and evolving adversarial evasion in financial fraud detection. By engineering network-centric features such as PageRank centrality, in-degree dynamics, and a custom flow ratio, the system shifts from isolated transaction analysis to network-level forensics. Focal loss handles class imbalance, and a dynamic thresholding mechanism improves resilience against low-value smurfing attacks. Experiments on the PaySim dataset show the hybrid model substantially outperforms Logistic Regression and XGBoost in precision, recall, and F1-score, especially on micro-transaction fraud patterns. An ablation study confirms the complem…

Large language models are increasingly deployed as always-on services, requiring efficient serving under volatile demand. Existing studies rely on proxy traces or coarse-grained characterizations that miss heterogeneity. FineServe is a real-world, multi-model LLM serving workload dataset from a global marketplace. It enables fine-grained analysis of arrival dynamics and token behavior, revealing different fluctuation regimes across models and tasks. A workload generator is also provided for benchmarking multi-model platforms.

This article presents a layered benchmark of 100 ETL tasks across seven leading LLMs using Apache SeaTunnel AI CLI. The benchmark uses a three-layer validation framework: L1 static configuration validation, L2 CLI and rule-based validation, and L3 runtime validation in a Dockerized environment. Results show that strong static validation performance does not guarantee high runtime success rates, emphasizing the need for practical evaluation of AI-assisted ETL.

DamNesia is a 16-dimensional state-space AI character framework that provides deterministic personality dynamics via the PES runtime, addressing personality drift in LLMs over long interactions.

This article proposes a truly comprehensible AI architecture: a deterministic thinking machine based on concrete concepts. The author suggests building a recursive descent parser for the entire English language, where each word triggers a function, combined with a reasoning engine and response generator, to achieve precise understanding and computation of language.

Despite the buzz that generative AI will revolutionize game development by boosting efficiency and cutting costs, the majority of indie developers interviewed reject it. They cite threats to creativity, job losses, legal risks, and the devaluation of human artistry. Some see limited utility in coding assistance, but the overarching sentiment is opposition.

The article warns against doomsday prophets of generative AI who predict catastrophic outcomes, arguing that such fears are overblown and often driven by bad intentions or ignorance. It advocates for responsible self-governance and a balanced, paranoid-optimistic approach to AI regulation, citing the need for credible self-regulatory bodies like FINRA rather than hasty government legislation.

LitigationBench is a benchmark from Litco for evaluating language models on litigation tasks. Each model runs tasks twice: without and with Litco's safeguards, with both scores and failures published. Special task sets test practitioner indistinguishability, cert-QP framing, AI-isms, case characterization, calendaring, and candor. Models that fabricate case law lose routing eligibility and incur score penalties. The methodology is transparent, with private task sets to prevent overfitting.
