This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. Why conservationists are making rhinos radioactive Every year,
Earth’s a medium-size rock with some water on top, enveloped by gases that keep everything that lives here alive. Just at the edge of that envelope begins a thin but dense layer of human-built, high-t
Every year, poachers shoot hundreds of rhinos, fishing crews haul millions of sharks out of protected seas, and smugglers carry countless animals and plants across borders. This illegal activity is in
Anthropic has launched the Claude 4.5 model family, featuring improved reasoning capabilities and a larger context window. The models show significant advances in code generation and multi-step problem solving.
arXiv:2602.18494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A dominant paradigm in visual intelligence treats semantics as a static property of latent representations, assuming that meaning can be discovered thr
arXiv:2602.18582v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When training artificial intelligence (AI) to perform tasks, humans often care not only about whether a task is completed but also how it is performed.
arXiv:2602.18607v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In CAS adaptation, a challenge is to define the dynamic architecture of the system and changes in its behavior. Implementation-wise, this is projected
arXiv:2602.18640v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern large-scale ranking systems operate within a sophisticated landscape of competing objectives, operational constraints, and evolving product requ
arXiv:2602.18671v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We reinterpret the final Large Language Model (LLM) softmax classifier as an Energy-Based Model (EBM), decomposing the sequence-to-sequence probability
arXiv:2602.18710v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The conclusions of empirical research depend not only on data but on a sequence of analytic decisions that published results seldom make explicit. Past
arXiv:2602.18724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accelerating exploration in visual reinforcement learning under sparse rewards remains challenging due to the substantial task-irrelevant variations. D
arXiv:2602.18731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chart summarization is crucial for enhancing data accessibility and the efficient consumption of information. However, existing methods, including thos
arXiv:2602.18749v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data allocation plays a critical role in federated large language model (LLM) and small language models (SLMs) reasoning collaboration. Nevertheless, e
arXiv:2602.18764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper establishes a fundamental convergence: Schema-Guided Dialogue (SGD) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) represent two manifestations of a u
arXiv:2602.18773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emergence of tool-calling-based agent systems introduces a more evidence-driven paradigm for pathology image analysis in contrast to the coarse-gra
arXiv:2602.18812v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Path planning in complex environments is one of the key problems of artificial intelligence because it requires simultaneous understanding of the geome
A team of researchers demonstrates that large language models can verify the correctness of mathematical proofs with 94% accuracy, potentially revolutionizing automated theorem proving.
Google DeepMind unveils Gemini 3.0, featuring improved visual understanding and real-time video analysis. The model can process hour-long videos and answer detailed questions about their content.
