CHASM Unveiling Covert Advertisements on Chinese Social Media
Current benchmarks for evaluating large language models (LLMs) in social media moderation completely overlook a serious threat: covert advertisements, which disguise themselves as regular posts to deceive and mislead consumers into making purchases, leading to significant ethical and legal concerns. In this paper, we present the CHASM, a first-of-its-kind dataset designed to evaluate the capability of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in detecting covert advertisements on social media. CHASM3 is a high-quality, anonymized, manually curated dataset consisting of 4,992 instances, based on real-world scenarios from the Chinese social media platform Rednote. The dataset was collected and annotated under strict privacy protection and quality control protocols. It includes many product experience sharing posts that closely resemble covert advertisements, making the dataset particularly challenging.

US export ban on Anthropic's AI models further strains alliances
Artificial intelligence has become the latest issue to drive a wedge between the United States and its allies after US President Donald Trump ordered tech giant Anthropic to cut off foreign access to its powerful Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 AI models, citing national security concerns. The US issued the unprecedented order for all foreign nationals in and outside the US last week, promoting Anthropic to take the two AI models completely offline to ensure compliance. The two public versions of the model, Mythos 5 and Fable 5, were due to be released in early June. Anthropic said the US government did not provide a reason for the order, but that it was its "understanding" that the Trump administration believed it had become aware of a method of "jailbreaking" Fable 5. The Trump administration's ban immediately sent shockwaves across Europe, which is heavily dependent on US-developed AI.
