ImgEdit: AUnified Image Editing Dataset and Benchmark

Neural Information Processing Systems

Recent advancements in generative models have enabled high-fidelity text-to-image generation. However, open-source image-editing models still lag behind their proprietary counterparts, primarily due to limited high-quality data and insufficient benchmarks. To overcome these limitations, we introduce ImgEdit, a largescale, high-quality image-editing dataset comprising one million carefully curated edit pairs, which contain both novel and complex single-turn edits, as well as challenging multi-turn tasks. To ensure the data quality, we employ a multi-stage pipeline that integrates a cutting-edge vision-language model, a detection model, a segmentation model, alongside task-specific in-painting procedures and strict postprocessing.


New York City House primary emerges as key battleground in 'AI civil war'

Alex Bores, a Democrat from New York vying for a House seat, during a'Get Out The Vote' rally on the first day of early voting for a primary election in New York City. New York City House primary emerges as key battleground in'AI civil war' T he artificial intelligence industry is spending heavily in the 2026 midterms, hoping to secure influence over the technology's first generation of legislation - and New York City's primary has emerged as the key battleground. AI-focused Super Pacs have raised over $100m this cycle, of which $49m has been spent so far, in dozens of congressional races across the country. Half of all spending has converged on a single Manhattan race: Tuesday's Democratic primary in the district of NY-12.


AI models that can take down governments and business months away, rare Five Eyes statement warns

The Guardian

Cybersecurity agencies from the Five Eyes alliance have issued a joint statement on AI after the US blocked Anthropic's much-hyped Fable. Cybersecurity agencies from the Five Eyes alliance have issued a joint statement on AI after the US blocked Anthropic's much-hyped Fable. Signal agencies in Australia, the US, the UK, New Zealand and Canada sound alarm after Trump blocks foreign nationals from Anthropic's Fable AI model Powerful AI models capable of devastating new cyber attacks on governments and businesses are mere months away, intelligence agencies for the Five Eyes have warned in a rare joint statement, urging leaders to "act now". The surprising public intervention by signals agencies for Australia, the US, the UK, New Zealand and Canada comes after the Trump administration earlier this month decided to block "foreign nationals" from using a much-hyped AI model built by tech company Anthropic, called Fable. The statement, issued late on Monday night, Sydney time, said while AI "would help us improve cyber defence over time, it also accelerates the speed, scale, and sophistication of cyber threats".


Intel is giving budget gamers what Nvidia and AMD won't

PCWorld

PCWorld reports Intel is targeting budget gamers with affordable CPUs and GPUs while Nvidia and AMD shift focus to AI and high-end markets. Rising AI data center demand has increased memory and storage costs, making PC building more expensive for enthusiasts with limited budgets. Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processors and extended XeSS support for older GPUs aim to deliver accessible performance improvements for budget-conscious gamers. Budget PC gamers have had little to celebrate in 2026. Intel may be trying to change that. It's hard not to feel despondent about the state of PC building right now.

PROSPERO: Active Learning for Robust Protein Design Beyond Wild-Type Neighborhoods

Neural Information Processing Systems

Designing protein sequences of both high fitness and novelty is a challenging task in data-efficient protein engineering. Exploration beyond wild-type neighborhoods often leads to biologically implausible sequences or relies on surrogate models that lose fidelity in novel regions. Here, we propose PROSPERO, an active learning framework in which a frozen pre-trained generative model is guided by a surrogate updated from oracle feedback. By integrating fitness-relevant residue selection with biologically-constrained Sequential Monte Carlo sampling, our approach enables exploration beyond wild-type neighborhoods while preserving biological plausibility. We show that our framework remains effective even when the surrogate is misspecified. PROSPERO consistently outperforms or matches existing methods across diverse protein engineering tasks, retrieving sequences of both high fitness and novelty.
