More than 50 Emacs community members, led by technomancy, signed the Human Emacs declaration threatening to fork GNU Emacs if LLM-generated contributions are accepted, citing copyright and ethical concerns. The signatori…
A developer's guide details how to evaluate LLM outputs in production using system prompts, scored rubrics, and runtime guardrails, citing the Air Canada chatbot hallucination case as a cautionary example. The approach u…
A new secure federated-learning framework, building on Google's 2016 proposal, addresses AI's data-isolation and privacy challenges by enabling horizontal, vertical, and federated transfer learning, according to a study …
Autonomous AI agents working in iterative loops can improve any artifact against any standard they can be scored on, but most measures can be gamed, according to Mark Pesce of the University of Sydney in a July 2026 pape…
RouteCast, a framework for evaluating AI models with delayed or censored feedback, achieved a preliminary discrimination AUC of 0.756 in a pilot study of 21 binary-outcome cases, while a blind LLM judge scored 0.678 and …
A new dataset called CRiT-QA exposes flaws in large language models' multi-hop reasoning, revealing their dependence on memorized knowledge and superficial shortcuts. The dataset introduces counterfactual entities and mu…
Researchers have developed a method using case-based decision theory to decompose neural network decisions into weighted sums of past training cases, revealing which historical cases most influence an action. The approac…
