Google Research Introduces GlucoFM: A 0.72M-Parameter Dual-Stream Foundation Model for Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Google Research and UNSW Sydney released GlucoFM, a self-supervised foundation model that splits a CGM trace into a slow physiological stream and a transient event stream instead of encoding it as one sequence. At 0.72M parameters it reached 58.8 task-averaged PR-AUC across 14 cohort–task evaluation...
Dynamic Influence-Weighted Distillation for Single-IMU Activity Recognition
arXiv:2608.24904v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Inertial sensors at multiple body locations can improve activity recognition, but requiring every sensor at inference increases the deployment burden. We study whether four synchronized IMUs available during training can improve a student that uses on...
GreenLeaf Law Embed Tiny: A Compact Embedding Model for Legal Domain Retrieval
arXiv:2608.24936v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present GreenLeaf Law Embed Tiny, a 0.6B parameter embedding model for legal domain retrieval. GreenLeaf-Tiny achieves 75.11% on the Massive Legal Embedding Benchmark (MLEB) and 64.38% on MTEB(Law, v1),demonstrating competitive performance among mo...
ExFold: Unified Expert Folding for Training-Free MoE Prefill-Decode Acceleration
arXiv:2608.24938v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models scale capacity for strong quality while keeping per-token compute bounded through sparse expert activation. Yet low-latency MoE serving is increasingly challenging, because it spans two inference phases with fundamental...
VLM-based automatic multi-granularity graph representation of building layouts for design informatics
arXiv:2608.24886v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Architectural floorplan images encode rich relational knowledge among functional spaces, which underpins design retrieval, knowledge-based reasoning, and BIM enrichment through the building lifecycle. However, it remains challenging to automatically c...
Reliable LLM-Powered Decision Engines for Large-Scale Supply Chain Operations: Architecture, Safety, and Performance Guarantees
arXiv:2608.24889v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Current large-scale supply chains are highly uncertain, dynamic, and disruption prone that are challenging to serve up timely and resilient decisions through traditional rule-based and optimization-only systems. The increasing supply of heterogeneous ...
Measurement-Budget Allocation in Quantum Learning with Finite-Shot Generalization Guarantees
arXiv:2608.24891v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: On near-term quantum hardware, estimating a Born probability requires repeated circuit executions. A quantum learning experiment with a fixed measurement budget $B$ must therefore decide how many distinct training states $n$ to use and how many shots ...
Weaviate 1.39 promotes the Boost API and MMR diversity selection to GA, previews 4-bit Rotational Quantization, and ships an experimental Search REST API.
From Preferences to Principles: Rubric-Based Alignment for Grounded Knowledge Answers
Designing effective reward signals for open-domain question answering is challenging because high-quality responses must simultaneously satisfy multiple aspects of answer quality that are difficult to capture with a holistic scalar objective. We introduce a rubric-based reward framework that generat...

Z.ai Releases GLM-5.3-Flash: A 320B-A18B Natively Multimodal MoE With a 1M-Token Context
Z.ai has released GLM-5.3-Flash, the first natively multimodal model in the GLM-5 series — a 320B-total / 18B-active MoE with a 1,048,576-token context window, MIT-licensed weights on Hugging Face, and API pricing at $0.15/M input and $0.50/M output. It scores 84.3 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 63.4 on ...
NVIDIA NVLink Fusion Expands With NVHBM Custom High-Bandwidth Memory
The next wave of AI is placing new demands on infrastructure. As AI agents and trillion-parameter workloads become mainstream, the performance of AI infrastructure depends not only on compute, but on how compute, memory, storage, networking and software are designed together as a unified system. To...

Radar makes podcasts searchable — and usable by AI agents
Particle’s new podcast intelligence platform transcribes and analyzes more than 130,000 podcasts, making their conversations searchable on the web and accessible to AI agents through an API and MCP.
Orchestration is the new challenge for CX in the age of AI agents
Presented by Tata Communications Enterprises are deploying AI agents, voice AI, and automation across messaging, voice, and digital channels faster than the architecture meant to support it. Most of that deployment has involved attaching conversational AI to legacy systems never built for it, says G...

Mastering the AI Project Cycle: From Concept to Production
In fact, AI projects are not built by simply choosing a model and feeding it data. Furthermore, a successful AI system goes through multiple stages, starting with identifying the right problem and ending with deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. This structured journey is known as the...
