Witeness Overlap: Directional Provenance Inside Open-Weight Model Families
arXiv:2609.31784v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Open-weight models are often released, fine-tuned, aligned, merged, and re-released, making provenance audits ask not only whether checkpoints are related, but also which checkpoint came first. Many existing model-provenance methods are designed for a...
CP-Agent: A Harness-Engineered Agent for Crystal Plasticity Simulation Workflows
arXiv:2609.31790v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Crystal plasticity (CP) simulations predict the mechanical behavior of polycrystalline metals, yet their routine use is hindered by the manual effort of configuring heterogeneous tools, orchestrating multi-step data pipelines, and calibrating constitu...
ConflictVLA-Bench: Benchmarking Behavioral Responses of Vision-Language-Action Models to Premise Conflicts
arXiv:2609.31792v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models perform strongly on manipulation tasks, their responses to invalid task premises remain underexplored. Existing evaluations of premise conflicts often focus on terminal task outcomes, yet task failure alone ca...

NVIDIA Launches Open Agent Safety Platform: OpenShell Sandboxes Agents on Vera CPUs While Sentry on BlueField-4 Quarantines Them in Milliseconds
NVIDIA has launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, an open reference design that enforces AI agent safety outside the agent itself. OpenShell, an Apache 2.0 runtime, sandboxes agents under YAML policies. Sentry, an out-of-band watchdog on BlueField-4 DPUs, can quarantine an agent that escapes its b...
Our early guidelines for safety cases in frontier AI training cover technical safeguards, operational practices, and investigating misalignment incidents
Nvidia launches new platform for reining in rogue AI agents
As the debate rages over whether the recent spate of rogue AI agents is a step toward AGI or a more conventional engineering problem, Nvidia is offering its own answer to problem. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Monday introduced a toolkit of software and hardware products that add independent security l...

Sarvam Vision 2.1: The OCR Model Built for the Documents India Actually Has
For the first time, an OCR model reads Indian languages as fluently as English documents. Sarvam Vision 2.1 breaks a long-standing trade-off. Indian businesses had to choose between structural document parsing and script recognition. Never both. Finance teams automating invoices faced this. Insuranc...
After a deepfake voice fooled her grandfather, this founder sprang into action
After her grandfather was scammed by a deepfake of his brother's voice, Tarini Padmanabhuni founded DetectifAI, a San Francisco startup building AI models small enough to run directly on smartphones and flag fake voices in real time, and it's now one of the companies competing in Startup Battlefield...
I’ve been thinking about a gap in the way we discuss graphs in AI. Most of the conversation starts after the graph already exists. We talk about graph neural networks, GraphRAG, graph agents, and graph foundation models. We spend much less time on the step that determines what all of them can do: tu...
MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you understand what’s coming next. You can read more from the series here. Over the past few months, a cascade of cyberattacks by AI agents has stunned the world. In July, OpenAI disclosed that a ...
