ai Oct 05 MRVQ: One Resident Index for Dimension- and Rate-Elastic Vector Search Elastic Vector Search and the Memory-Rate-Dimension Trade-Off Dense-retrieval services operating at scale must continually adapt to shifting constraints. Latency budgets shrink, quality thresholds rise, and memory footprints becom... ai Oct 05 FrugalEvo: Towards Cost-Aware LLM-Guided Program Evolution Prior work on LLM-guided evolutionary methods such as AlphaEvolve has demonstrated strong results on computational optimization problems, including circle packing. However, these approaches typically optimize for performance gain... machine learning Oct 05 Pivot-SD: Efficient Self-Distillation for Masked Diffusion Language Models Masked diffusion language models (dLMs) present a parallel alternative to autoregressive models for complex reasoning, yet they encounter a credit-assignment problem: a few commitments during denoising sharply reduce uncertainty o... ai Oct 04 "Torturing" LLMs in a Robot Prison Has Triggered the Dumbest Debate in AI Yet GitHub project puts locally hosted LLMs through Saw-style experiments A GitHub project has sparked heated discussion on X after its creator began running torture and pain experiments on a series of large language models run locall... ai Oct 03 OpenAI safety leader quits, warning AI company's culture is 'broken' A safety leader at OpenAI has quit the company, warning that its culture was broken and that AI firms were not "being nearly careful enough" about developing the technology. David Robinson, who led the writing of safety reports th... machine learning Oct 02 Embedding Prediction Helps Image Generation LLMs are increasingly applied to cybersecurity workflows, where they are expected to translate analysts' intent into tool invocations. However, existing evaluations focus on knowledge-based assessments or end-to-end agentic tasks,... ai Oct 02 ScholarCatalyst: A Benchmark for Retrieving Papers That Inspire New Research Author-Annotated Benchmark for Scientific Paper Retrieval ScholarCatalyst introduces a benchmark designed to study how researchers identify prior work that inspired their projects. The dataset was built by having 184 lead authors... ai Oct 02 VISTA: A Visual Harness for Reasoning in an Interactive World We show that multimodal models possess strong reasoning abilities and that an appropriate harness can unlock their potential to solve tasks across diverse interactive environments. We introduce VISTA, a visual harness that gives a... cybersecurity Oct 02 KaliBench: A Fine-Grained Benchmark for Cybersecurity Tool Use on Kali Linux with Runtime-Free Verifiable Rewards Large language models now appear in security workflows where analysts expect them to turn natural language into exact tool invocations. Existing benchmarks test knowledge or end-to-end agent behavior, but they skip the core challe... machine learning Oct 02 Cost-augmented Schrödinger bridges on graphs are exactly solvable: a Feynman-Kac tilt replaces learned control The generalized Schrödinger bridge on a graph moves mass between two distributions while charging a cost for the states visited. Previous work has approached this by learning the rates of a controlled continuous-time Markov chain...
