How AI itself might continue to develop in a post-AGI world along the continuum of machine intelligence is investigated, which can intuitively be understood as a system that is more intelligent and cognitively capable than large organisations of humans.

The results show that compact fine-tuned models can preserve most extraction accuracy, but model selection must account for prompt choice, throughput, and serving-stack behavior.

This article offers a framework for transitioning from rigid execution pipelines to adaptive, intelligent computational environments, broadly applicable across distributed environments, they are particularly tailored to the resource-intensive throughput demands of modern computational biology.
A dataset of 164 expert-annotated progress chains from the MIT PRIMES--Art of Problem Solving CrowdMath program (2016-2025), a collaborative research initiative whose discussions have led to peer-reviewed publications, is introduced.
Retrospective Harness Optimization is introduced, a self-supervised method that optimizes the agent harness using only past trajectories and alters the agent's behavior patterns and sustains higher accuracy during long-horizon sessions.

Linear attention reduces the quadratic cost of softmax attention by maintaining a recurrent fast-weight state, but it consistently lags on in-context retrieval and long-context tasks. Existing remedies act on the write side of memory through gating, delta updates, or kernel feature maps, but the read step is left unchanged: every past key contributes additively to the output, so useful targets are diluted by the bulk of stored vectors. We borrow one specific piece of softmax's geometry to construct a cheap read-time contraction of the query. A second-order Taylor expansion of the softmax log-partition at the isotropic-attention point gives a local quadratic model whose curvature coincides with the running key covariance, a quantity that can be maintained with the same recurrent/chunkwise mechanism as the linear-attention state. The associated linear operator contracts the query along the high-variance directions of memory before it reads the state. We call this mechanism Curvature-Conditioned Query (CCQ). CCQ modifies only the read step and is composable with any linear-attention backbone. Attached to GLA and Gated DeltaNet, it improves perplexity, zero-shot downstream accuracy, S-NIAH retrieval at and beyond the training context, length-extrapolation perplexity from 4K to 20K, and LongBench accuracy.

DASH is introduced, which supervises the conditional and unconditional branches independently and an anchor term regularises the conditional prediction toward ground-truth noise, and the teacher's final learned per-timestep curriculum transfers into the student as a frozen prior.

TIGER is presented, an inference-time framework that redesigns feedback for localized repair that reduces unsupported content while preserving task quality and a CrisisFACTS case study suggests that the same repair mechanism can improve grounding in multi-source settings.

This study formalizes Autonomous Agentic Data Engineering, a novel task designed to evaluate LLMs as autonomous data engineers that drive model specialization through end-to-end data curation, and charts a path toward agent-driven model specialization.
To make CBM measurable, BeliefTrack is introduced, a closed-world benchmark spanning Rule Discovery and Circuit Diagnosis, where a finite belief space and symbolic verifiers enable exact turn-level evaluation.

Homomorphic encryption (HE) enables privacy-preserving aggregation in federated learning (FL) by allowing the server to operate on encrypted data without decryption. Existing HE-over-the-air (OTA) methods mainly rely on single-key HE schemes and require channel estimation or pre-equalization to compensate for wireless fading. However, single-key HE remains vulnerable to honest-but-curious (HBC) clients holding the shared secret key, while multi-key HE provides stronger client-level security by assigning each device its own secret key. We propose a four-phase protocol that enables the aggregation of xMK-CKKS over a shared wireless channel without channel estimation. The protocol retransmits partial public keys and ciphertexts through the same channel realization, so that the dominant large-modulus encryption terms cancel algebraically during decryption. We integrate this protocol with zero-order FL over slowly varying LoS-dominant channels, where each device transmits a single encrypted scalar per round and the communication/encryption overhead is independent of the model dimension. We show that the residual noise induced by encryption and wireless aggregation preserves the standard convergence rate \(O(1/\sqrt{K})\) up to a negligible noise floor, where $K$ is the number of communication rounds. The protocol assumes a non-trusted server and is secure against HBC clients, preventing any client from recovering the local updates of other participants. Numerical results on MNIST and CIFAR-10 validate the theoretical analysis.

This paper presents a method for aggressively pruning experts from modern mixture-of-experts LLMs while incurring negligible degradation in translation quality, and shows that translation requires only a fraction of the LLM, enabling substantial compression of the MoE blocks that contain over 90% of parameters.
