The company says it will'engage constructively' with them. OpenAI is under investigation by a coalition of state attorneys general, according to the Wall Street Journal . On Friday, June 12, the company received a subpoena seeking information and documents related to its activities and impact on users. said it viewed the subpoena sent by New York's attorney general. Based on what the publication saw, the AGs are asking for documentation about the company's advertising, user engagement and retention, as well as its handling of its users' data and health information. They also want to know about the company's activities related to minor and senior users, its deep learning models, its policies and its models' sycophancy.

Low-rank recurrent neural networks (RNNs) provide a powerful framework for characterizing how neural systems solve complex cognitive tasks. However, fitting and interpreting these networks remains an important open problem. In this paper, we develop new methods for efficiently fitting low-rank RNNs in ''teacher-training'' settings. In particular, we build upon the neural engineering framework (NEF), in which RNNs are viewed as approximating an ordinary differential equation (ODE) of interest using a set of random nonlinear basis functions. This view provides geometric insight into how the choice of neural nonlinearity (e.g.

An AI agent system proposed by researchers in Spain promises to prevent energy theft and damage to EV chargers, as well as the critical energy infrastructure that powers them. The number of electric vehicles on roads around the world continues to grow. The boom in EV adoption has driven the development of accessible, fast, and efficient charging infrastructure. However, this expansion also brings with it new cybersecurity risks that have been not been widely studied, and for which there are still few viable solutions. Cristina Alcaraz, an infrastructure-security researcher at Spain's University of Malaga, explains that the liability of electric-vehicle charging stations is due to the fact that they integrate multiple physical and digital components.

In recent years, artificial intelligence has significantly advanced medical image segmentation. Nonetheless, challenges remain, including efficient 3D medical image processing across diverse modalities and handling data variability. In this work, we introduce Hierarchical Soft Mixture-of-Experts (HoME), a two-level token-routing layer for efficient long-context modeling, specifically designed for 3D medical image segmentation. Built on the Mamba Selective State Space Model (SSM) backbone, HoME enhances sequential modeling through adaptive expert routing.

High dynamic range (HDR) images, with their rich tone and detail reproduction, hold significant potential to enhance computer vision systems, particularly in autonomous driving. However, most neural networks for embedded vision are trained on low dynamic range (LDR) inputs and suffer substantial performance degradation when handling high-bit-depth HDR images due to the challenges posed by extreme dynamic ranges. In this paper, we propose a novel tone mapping method that not only bridges the gap between HDR RAW inputs and the LDR sRGB requirements of detection networks but also achieves end-to-end optimization with the downstream tasks. Instead of relying on traditional image signal processing (ISP) pipeline, we introduce neural photometric calibration to regularize dynamic ranges and a scaling-invariant local tone mapping module to preserve image details. In addition, our architecture also supports performance transfer finetuning, enabling efficient adaptation from the LDR model to the HDR RAW model with minimal cost. The proposed method outperforms traditional tone mapping algorithms and advanced AI-ISP methods in challenging automotive HDR scenes. Moreover, our pipeline achieves real-time processing of 4K high-bit-depth HDR inputs on the Nvidia Jetson platform.

Private large language model (LLM) inference based on secure multi-party computation (MPC) achieves formal data privacy protection but suffers from significant latency overhead, especially for long input sequences. While key-value (KV) cache eviction and sparse attention algorithms have been proposed for efficient LLM inference in plaintext, they are not designed for MPC and cannot benefit private LLM inference directly. In this paper, we propose an accurate and MPC-friendly KV cache eviction framework, dubbed MPCache, building on the observation that historical tokens in a long sequence may have different effects on the downstream decoding. Hence, MPCache combines a look-once static eviction algorithm to discard unimportant KV cache and a query-aware dynamic selection algorithm to activate only a small subset of KV cache for attention computation. MPCache further incorporates a series of optimizations for efficient dynamic KV cache selection, including MPC-friendly similarity approximation, hierarchical KV cache clustering, and cross-layer index-sharing strategy. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MPCache consistently outperforms prior-art KV cache eviction baselines across different generation tasks and achieves 1.8 ~ 2.01x and 3.39 ~ 8.37x decoding latency and communication reduction on different sequence lengths, respectively.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is marked by cognitive decline along with the widespread of tau aggregates across the brain cortex. Due to the challenges of imaging pathology spreading flows \textit{in vivo}, however, quantitative analysis on the cortical pathways of tau propagation and its interaction with the cascade of amyloid-beta (A$\beta$) plaques lags behind the experimental insights of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. To address this challenge, we present a physics-informed neural network, empowered by mean-field theory, to uncover the biologically meaningful spreading pathways of tau aggregates between two longitudinal snapshots. Following the notion of `prion-like' mechanism in AD, we first formulate the dynamics of tau propagation as a mean-field game (MFG), where the spread of tau aggregate at each location (aka.

It's to ensure compliance with a government directive citing national security concerns. Anthroic has disabled all of its customers' access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 in order to ensure compliance with an order it received from the government on Friday, June 12. All its other models and its Claude chatbot are not affected. The company said in its announcement that the US government wanted it to suspend all foreign nationals' access to its newly launched AI models, whether they're inside or outside the US and even if they're Anthropic employees, citing national security concerns. While the US government didn't specify those concerns, Anthropic believes that it's because the government heard about a method of jailbreaking Fable 5.

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional performance in reasoning tasks such as mathematics and coding, matching or surpassing human capabilities. However, these impressive reasoning abilities face significant challenges in specialized domains. Taking Go as an example, although AlphaGo has established the high performance ceiling of AI systems in Go, mainstream LLMs still struggle to reach even beginner-level proficiency, let alone perform natural language reasoning. This performance gap between general-purpose LLMs and domain experts is significantly limiting the application of LLMs on a wider range of domain-specific tasks. In this work, we aim to bridge the divide between LLMs' general reasoning capabilities and expert knowledge in domain-specific tasks.

While recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced automated ECG interpretation, they still face two key limitations: (1) insufficient multimodal synergy between ECG time series and ECG images, and (2) limited explainability in linking diagnoses to granular waveform evidence. We introduce GEM, the first MLLM unifying ECG time series, 12-lead ECG images and text for grounded and clinician-aligned ECG interpretation. GEM enables feature-grounded analysis, evidence-driven reasoning, and a clinician-like diagnostic process through three core innovations: a dual-encoder framework extracting complementary time series and image features, cross-modal alignment for effective multimodal understanding, and knowledge-guided instruction data generation for generating high-granularity grounding data (ECG-Grounding) linking diagnoses to measurable parameters ($e.g.$, QRS/PR Intervals). Additionally, we propose the Grounded ECG Understanding task, a clinically motivated benchmark designed to comprehensively assess the MLLM's capability in grounded ECG understanding. Experimental results on both existing and our proposed benchmarks show GEM significantly improves predictive performance (CSN $7.4\%$ $\uparrow$), explainability ($22.7\%$
