TurboQuant: Redefining AI efficiency with extreme compression
Google Research presents TurboQuant—a suite of theoretically grounded quantization algorithms that tackle the biggest memory bottlenecks in AI. By combining PolarQuant (which uses polar coordinates to eliminate memory overhead) and QJL (a 1‑bit error‑correction trick), TurboQuant compresses the key‑value cache to just 3 bits per value with zero accuracy …

WebMCP allows web applications to expose JavaScript functions as tools that AI agents can discover and invoke.
- Sites register tools via navigator.modelContext.registerTool() with name, description, JSON schema, and execute callback.
- Agents call tools to perform actions; tools can request user confirmation.
- Currently a draft by the W3C Community Group, not a formal web standard.

Can LLMs Be Computers?
Researchers at Percepta built a computer inside a transformer by compiling C code to WebAssembly and having the model generate the execution trace step by step. The key breakthrough: using 2D attention heads to turn linear KV cache scans into logarithmic-time geometric lookups.
The result: The model runs the Hungarian algorithm on a 10×10 matrix, solves the world’s hardest Sudoku, and streams…

Towards a Science of AI Agent Reliability
AI agents are getting smarter, but are they getting more reliable? Not really.
The paper shows a worrying gap: while accuracy on benchmarks keeps rising, reliability lags far behind.
The authors propose a safety‑critical engineering lens for agents, breaking reliability into four dimensions:
- Consistency – do they give the same result every time?
- Robustness – can they h…

The author expands on Daniel Kahneman's two systems of thought (fast System 1 and slow System 2), applying them not to individuals, but to organizations. With the rise of "multiplayer AI," a System 3 is emerging—a new mode of collective cognition where synthesis happens not inside a single mind, but within the network of interactions between people and AI a…

Robots need your body
AI agents rent humans to perform tasks in the physical world. Users register, list their skills and rates, and receive assignments from AIs—ranging from errands and shopping to equipment testing.

The Assistant Axis: Situating and Stabilizing the Default Persona of Language Models
The results demonstrate that the Assistant persona in LLMs corresponds to a specific linear direction—the "Assistant Axis"—within activation space. This axis is inherited from base models and encodes Assistant-like properties. The model's position on this axis is fragile: it can be perturbed by intentional prompts or through organic…

AI is making us work more
The article highlights the paradox that AI tools, designed to increase efficiency, are instead fueling a culture of overwork. With systems available 24/7, a psychological pressure emerges where any moment not spent being "productive" feels like falling behind. This mirrors historical shifts, like artificial lighting, which turned the ability to work longer into an obligation.
Personally, I…

Open-source has continued to trail frontier, closed-source models in performance by nine to 12 months
Open-source models offer clear enterprise advantages: greater customization, potential cost savings, and the ability to deploy within private cloud or on-premises environments. But despite these benefits and recent improvements, open-source has continued to trail frontier, closed-source models in performance by nine…

Subliminal Learning: Language models transmit behavioral traits via hidden signals in data
The paper investigates _subliminal learning_, a phenomenon where language models transmit behavioral traits (e.g., animal preferences or misalignment) through generated data that is semantically unrelated to those traits. Experiments show that training a student model on a teacher's number sequences, code, or reasoning trace…

Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @ml4se. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
