Today's News

• After dissing Anthropic for limiting Mythos, OpenAI restricts access to Cyber, too — OpenAI is restricting access to its upcoming GPT-5.5 Cyber cybersecurity testing tool, initially rolling it out only to a select group of 'critical cyber defenders'. The move follows OpenAI's public criticism of Anthropic for limiting access to its Mythos model.
• Alignment whack-a-mole: Finetuning activates recall of copyrighted books in LLMs — A newly released research project, 'Alignment Whack-a-Mole,' has uncovered a critical issue in large language models: finetuning can inadvertently trigger the recall of copyrighted books previously 'forgotten' by the model. The study highlights unintended consequences of alignment efforts in AI training.
• Apple was surprised by AI-driven demand for Macs — Apple's recent earnings report revealed a surprising surge in demand for its Mac line, driven by the rapid adoption of on-device AI workloads. The unexpected growth underscores the growing role of AI in consumer computing.
• Copy Fail — The emergence of 'Copy Fail,' a newly launched platform, has sparked debate over the ethical and legal boundaries of generative AI, particularly regarding the replication of copyrighted material. The platform's launch has also highlighted systemic failures in AI data pipelines.
• Elon Musk confirms xAI used OpenAI’s models to train Grok — Elon Musk confirmed during his lawsuit against OpenAI that xAI used OpenAI’s models to train Grok, its conversational AI assistant. The admission comes amid ongoing legal disputes over AI model development.
• Legal AI startup Legora hits $5.6B valuation and its battle with Harvey just got hotter — Legal AI startup Legora has reached a $5.6 billion valuation, intensifying its rivalry with established competitor Harvey. The competition reflects growing interest in AI-driven legal services.
• Meta is running get-rich-quick ads for its AI tools — Meta is promoting its AI tools through advertisements that mimic 'get-rich-quick' schemes, according to a report by The Verge. The strategy aims to attract users seeking rapid financial gains through AI.
• OpenAI announces new advanced security for ChatGPT accounts, including a partnership with Yubico — OpenAI has announced the rollout of advanced security features for ChatGPT and Codex accounts, marking a significant step in addressing account security concerns. The partnership with Yubico enhances multi-factor authentication capabilities.
• Paper: LLM as Clinical Graph Structure Refiner: Enhancing Representation Learning in EEG Seizure Diagnosis — A research paper introduces a novel method using Large Language Models as 'clinical graph structure refiners' to enhance EEG seizure diagnosis. The approach leverages graph neural networks for improved representation learning in medical data.

Research

• Agentic Fusion of Large Atomic and Language Models to Accelerate Superconductors — Mingze Li, Yu Rong, Songyou Li. The discovery of novel materials is critical for global energy and quantum technology transitions.
• Sample Selection Using Multi-Task Autoencoders in Federated Learning with Non-II — Emre Ardıç, Yakup Genç. Federated learning is a machine learning paradigm in which multiple devices collaboratively train a model under the supervision of a central server while ensuring data privacy.
• Enhanced Privacy and Communication Efficiency in Non-IID Federated Learning with — Emre Ardıç, Yakup Genç. Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning method where multiple devices collaboratively train a model under the management of a central server without sharing underlying data.
• FAMA: Failure-Aware Meta-Agentic Framework for Open-Source LLMs in Interactive T — Amir Saeidi, Venkatesh Mishra, Souradeep Mukhopadhyay. Large Language Models are being increasingly deployed as the decision-making core of autonomous agents capable of effecting change in external environments.
• Operating-Layer Controls for Onchain Language-Model Agents Under Real Capital — T. J. Barton, Chris Constantakis, Patti Hauseman. We study reliability in autonomous language-model agents that translate user mandates into validated tool actions under real capital.
