xDECAF, a browser-based tool checking data flow diagrams against security constraints, shipped as a public preprint with a reusable dataset of over 20 models.
A July 2026 preprint shows VLMs lose localization accuracy in a single forward pass inside diffusion editing pipelines, affecting AI image tool builders and use
FootsiesGym, a July 8 arXiv preprint, turns a minimalist 2D fighting game into an open-source RL benchmark for imperfect-information games that runs on standard
A new arXiv preprint proposes random sampling maps that let models trained on small inputs handle larger ones they never saw — with explicit generalisation rate
World model spatial reasoning scores collapse from 0.90 to 0.27 when the goal is hidden, exposing instruction leakage — a prompt-cheating flaw the authors diagn
New arXiv preprint 'idiobionics' warns that sensors and AI controls in smart prosthetic limbs could create exploitable privacy threat vectors for users.
XGBoost security classifiers appear near-invincible against gradient attacks but crumble under score-based methods, while SHAP explanations break even when pred
A new arXiv preprint fuses Answer Set Programming with energy-based models for end-to-end AI reasoning, tested on visual QA and multi-object tracking benchmarks
An arXiv preprint proposes dual-gate MPC custody where switching to post-quantum signatures becomes a key rotation, not a protocol rebuild — reshaping quantum-s
EvoPolicyGym, a new arXiv benchmark, tests whether AI agents can autonomously rewrite executable policies under a fixed budget — and GPT-5.5 leads the pack.
DynaKRAG treats multi-hop evidence gathering as a learned control problem, outperforming fixed RAG pipelines on three benchmarks with Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct.
