Mastering the Game of Go with Self-play Experience Replay
arXiv:2601.03306v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The game of Go has long served as a benchmark for artificial intelligence, demanding sophisticated strategic reasoning and long-term planning. Previous approaches such as AlphaGo and its successors, have predominantly relied on model-based Monte-Carlo...
Digital Red Queen: Adversarial Program Evolution in Core War with LLMs
arXiv:2601.03335v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used to evolve solutions to problems in many domains, in a process inspired by biological evolution. However, unlike biological evolution, most LLM-evolution frameworks are formulated as static optim...
Enhancing LLM Instruction Following: An Evaluation-Driven Multi-Agentic Workflow for Prompt Instructions Optimization
arXiv:2601.03359v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) often generate substantively relevant content but fail to adhere to formal constraints, leading to outputs that are conceptually correct but procedurally flawed. Traditional prompt refinement approaches focus on rephrasing...
Exploration Through Introspection: A Self-Aware Reward Model
arXiv:2601.03389v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Understanding how artificial agents model internal mental states is central to advancing Theory of Mind in AI. Evidence points to a unified system for self- and other-awareness. We explore this self-awareness by having reinforcement learning agents in...
Toward Maturity-Based Certification of Embodied AI: Quantifying Trustworthiness Through Measurement Mechanisms
arXiv:2601.03470v2 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We propose a maturity-based framework for certifying embodied AI systems through explicit measurement mechanisms. We argue that certifiable embodied AI requires structured assessment frameworks, quantitative scoring mechanisms, and methods for navigat...
Less than a trillionth of a second: Ultrafast UV light could transform communications and imaging
Researchers have built a new platform that produces ultrashort UV-C laser pulses and detects them at room temperature using atom-thin materials. The light flashes last just femtoseconds and can be used to send encoded messages through open space. The system relies on efficient laser generation and h...
A Coding Implementation to Build a Unified Apache Beam Pipeline Demonstrating Batch and Stream Processing with Event-Time Windowing Using DirectRunner
In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to build a unified Apache Beam pipeline that works seamlessly in both batch and stream-like modes using the DirectRunner. We generate synthetic, event-time–aware data and apply fixed windowing with triggers and allowed lateness to demonstrate how Apache Beam cons...
Nous Research's NousCoder-14B is an open-source coding model landing right in the Claude Code moment
Nous Research, the open-source artificial intelligence startup backed by crypto venture firm Paradigm, released a new competitive programming model on Monday that it says matches or exceeds several larger proprietary systems — trained in just four days using 48 of Nvidia's latest B200 graphics proce...
Vibe Code Reality Check: What You Can Actually Build with Only AI
This is an "expectations vs reality" approach to demystify, based on research of real success and failure stories, what are the capabilities and limits of vibe coding.
