SpeakON Ships a MagSafe AI Voice Button With Its Own Microphone
Voice input on phones has been solved for years. What has not been solved is the output. Speak into most dictation tools and you get back exactly what you said, fillers and false starts included, in a note you then have to clean up and move somewhere else. SpeakON attacks that gap with hardware: a [...
"As a Language Model...": Chat Template Switches LLM Self-Referential Voice and Activation Steering Reproduces It
arXiv:2609.25021v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) tend to add disclaimers like "I'm just an AI" when asked about something related to themselves. The self-reports from such responses are used in debates about AI safety or self-knowledge of the models, yet what drives them...
Federating Quantum and Classical Computing: A Privacy-Preserving Hybrid Approach
arXiv:2609.25082v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Quantum machine learning (QML) is increasingly recognized as one of the most promising near-term applications of quantum computing, viewed as a next-frontier candidate beyond purely classical approaches. Hybrid quantum-classical models operationalize ...
The Probabilistic Structure of Large Language Models
arXiv:2609.25134v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic perspective on large language models (LLMs), developed with the aim of bringing together, in a single self-contained account, tools that are usually treated separately across the literature. LLMs are described throu...
An Accurate and Interpretable Hyper Graph Neural Network for GBM Survival Prediction
arXiv:2609.25088v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Survival prediction for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) demands models that are both accurate and interpretable, yet existing approaches treat these objectives as com- peting, where performant models sacrifice transparency, while interpretable models ac...
Ovis-Embedding: Pushing the Frontiers of Universal Omni-Modal Embeddings
arXiv:2609.25165v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this report, we introduce \textbf{Ovis-Embedding}, a state-of-the-art omni-modal embedding family built on native integration of text, image, video, and audio. Instead of assembling separate modality towers, Ovis-Embedding uses a shared multimodal ...

Claude Opus 5.5 Tested: What’s New and How Good is it?
What happens when an AI model gets better at reasoning, faster at responding, and cheaper to run at the same time? That is the promise behind Claude Opus 5.5, Anthropic’s latest flagship model and the first release in the Claude 5.5 family. Opus 5.5 brings several notable changes. It now reasons on ...
Meta admits Muse’s likeness to OpenClaw isn’t a coincidence
Meta says Muse was built from scratch, but acknowledges the AI assistant was "heavily inspired" by OpenClaw — down to some of its workspace filenames and content.
Anthropic Releases Claude Opus 5.5: Fable 5.1-Level Performance at 40% Lower Running Cost Than Opus 5
Anthropic has released Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in its new Claude 5.5 family. The team states it performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 on most work. It also costs 40% less to run than Opus 5 on typical workloads at default settings. On Anthropic’s own benchmarks, it leads in agentic codi...

Roundtables: The Deadly Failures of The Virtual Border Wall
The US has spent billions building a “virtual wall” of surveillance towers along its southern border over the past 25 years, promising they will help detect and apprehend border crossers and save lives. But a groundbreaking investigation by MIT Technology Review has documented hundreds of people who...
A new AI control system lets MIT’s tiny flying robot move with insect-like agility, boosting its speed by about 450 percent and allowing it to pull off 10 somersaults in 11 seconds. The technology could eventually enable miniature robots to search earthquake rubble and navigate dangerous spaces that...
