Why Can't I Open My Drawer? Mitigating Object-Driven Shortcuts in Zero-Shot Compositional Action Recognition

Zero-Shot Compositional Action Recognition (ZS-CAR) requires recognizing novel verb-object combinations composed of previously observed primitives. In this work, we tackle a key failure mode: models predict verbs via object-driven shortcuts (i.e., relying on the labeled object class) rather than temporal evidence. We argue that sparse compositional supervision and verb-object learning asymmetry can promote object-driven shortcut learning. Our analysis with proposed diagnostic metrics shows that existing methods overfit to training co-occurrence patterns and underuse temporal verb cues, resulting in weak generalization to unseen compositions. To address object-driven shortcuts, we propose Robust COmpositional REpresentations (RCORE) with two components. Co-occurrence Prior Regularization (CPR) adds explicit supervision for unseen compositions and regularizes the model against frequent co-occurrence priors by treating them as hard negatives. Temporal Order Regularization for Composition (TORC) enforces temporal-order sensitivity to learn temporally grounded verb representations. Across Sth-com and EK100-com, RCORE reduces shortcut diagnostics and consequently improves compositional generalization.

Video-Oasis: Rethinking Evaluation of Video Understanding

The inherent complexity of video understanding makes it difficult to determine whether Video-LLM benchmark performance stems from visual perception, linguistic reasoning, or knowledge priors. While many benchmarks have emerged to assess high-level reasoning, shared criteria for evaluating video understanding remain largely overlooked. Instead of introducing yet another benchmark, we take a step back to re-examine the criteria for evaluating video understanding. In this work, we introduce Video-Oasis, a sustainable diagnostic suite for systematically auditing existing video understanding benchmarks. This audit reveals that 55\% of existing benchmark samples are solvable without visual input or temporal context. After filtering these shortcuts, the remaining video-native challenges expose a substantial capability gap: state-of-the-art models perform only marginally above random guessing. Building on these findings, we use the distilled challenges as a testbed to investigate which algorithmic design choices contribute to robust video understanding. We hope our work provides a practical foundation for constructing rigorous video benchmarks and evaluating future Video-LLMs. Code is available at https://github.com/sejong-rcv/Video-Oasis.

UniClawBench: A Universal Benchmark for Proactive Agents on Real-World Tasks

The rapid development of large language models and multimodal large language models has accelerated the emergence of proactive agents capable of operating everyday tools and assisting users in real-world environments. However, existing benchmarks struggle to evaluate such agents effectively, as they often rely on sandboxed environments and single-turn evaluation paradigms. Moreover, their scenario-based task taxonomies mix multiple model capabilities within the same task category, making it difficult to identify the root causes of agent failures. To address these limitations, we introduce UniClawBench, the first capability-driven benchmark designed to evaluate proactive agents in dynamic, real-world settings. UniClawBench is built around five foundational model capabilities: Skill Usage, Exploration, Long-Context Reasoning, Multimodal Understanding, and Cross-Platform Coordination. Based on these capabilities, we design 400 bilingual real-world tasks. Unlike previous benchmarks that rely on static, pre-recorded answers, our benchmark evaluates agents in live Docker containers using fine-grained, step-by-step completion checkpoints. Furthermore, we design a closed-loop evaluation strategy comprising an executor agent, a hidden supervisor agent, and a user agent to simulate realistic multi-turn human feedback without leaking grading criteria. To disentangle base model capabilities from framework-level design choices, we evaluate state-of-the-art models under multiple agent frameworks. Through comprehensive comparisons across both models and frameworks, we show how base model capabilities and agent framework designs jointly shape performance in real-world environments. To facilitate future research, we make our benchmark and code publicly available at https://github.com/HKU-MMLab/UniClawBench.

Ideas Have Genomes: Benchmarking Scientific Lineage Reasoning and Lineage-Grounded Idea Generation

Scientific ideas rarely start from a blank page. They inherit mechanisms, repair known limitations, and recombine pieces of earlier work, much like biological genomes. Current benchmarks still say little about whether AI systems can follow this inheritance structure. We present IdeaGene-Bench (IG-Bench), a benchmark for scientific lineage reasoning and lineage-grounded idea generation. IG-Bench is organized around the IdeaGene framework: each paper or proposal is represented as a set of minimal, typed, evidence-grounded Idea Genome objects, and a GenomeDiff aligns these objects to record inheritance, mutation, loss, external import, and novel insertion under six operational evolutionary dynamics. The benchmark contains 1,961 golden lineage traces, 1,085 curated Idea Genome objects, and 920 pairwise GenomeDiff records across 10 scientific domains. It supports two evaluations. IG-Exam (42 task types, 1,029 instances) tests closed-form lineage reasoning across Idea Genome abstraction, inheritance tracing, evolutionary reasoning, and lineage verification. IG-Arena evaluates generation with a lineage-conditioned Population-Evolution Score(PES), asking whether a proposal can be inserted as a coherent descendant of a given lineage population: it should inherit the right Idea Genome objects, vary meaningfully from nearby work, and offer selection value for future research. Experiments on 14 LLM-based scientists expose a compositional bottleneck. The strongest system reaches only 27.3% exact accuracy on lineage reasoning, and structured lineage context reshuffles system rankings rather than helping every participant uniformly.

LongE2V: Long-Horizon Event-based Video Reconstruction, Prediction, and Frame Interpolation with Video Diffusion Models

Recovering high-quality video from sparse event streams is a challenging task. Regression methods often blur textures, while existing generative models struggle with long-term stability. We propose LongE2V, a novel approach that leverages pre-trained video diffusion priors to jointly handle event-based video reconstruction, prediction, and frame interpolation. By fine-tuning a foundational video model, our approach achieves high data efficiency and superior perceptual quality. We introduce Autoregressive Unrolling and Adaptive Context Switching to mitigate temporal drift in extremely long sequences. We also propose Reencoding Alignment with Cross Residual Correction to ensure precise bidirectional consistency during frame interpolation. Furthermore, Event Voxel Density Augmentation ensures robustness across varying sensor resolutions. Extensive experiments on real-world benchmarks demonstrate that LongE2V outperforms state-of-the-art methods across all three tasks, exhibiting exceptional temporal coherence and zero-shot generalization.

Enhancing In-context Panoramic Generation via Geometric-aware Pretraining

In this work, we present Canvas360, a two-stage framework for in-context panoramic generation that combines geometry-aware pretraining with downstream task-specific fine-tuning. To address the lack of large-scale, high-quality training data tailored to in-context panoramic tasks, we propose Canvas360Dataset, a collection of 1M high-quality paired panoramic samples for style transfer, inpainting, outpainting, and editing, enabling effective supervision across diverse in-context generation scenarios. On the modeling side, Canvas360 enhances text-to-panorama generation through parallel depth generation, velocity circular padding, and similarity loss regularization, enabling the model to learn geometry-aware representations, capture object distortion details, and improve geometric consistency and global coherence. Furthermore, empowered by strong panoramic priors, Canvas360 enables a unified in-context panoramic generation framework that supports diverse downstream tasks via token-level concatenation, surpassing prior methods in both task coverage and modeling flexibility. Extensive experiments show that Canvas360 improves panoramic image fidelity, achieving particularly strong performance on the panorama-specific FAED metric and competitive or leading results across the reported quantitative evaluations. More information can be found on our project page: https://zry000.github.io/Canvas360/

CineMobile: On-Device Image-to-Video Diffusion for Cinematic Camera Motion Generation

The growing demand for image-to-video creation on mobile devices has increasingly focused on cinematic motion effects like bullet time, dolly zoom, slow motion, etc. While Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) exhibit strong performance in video generation, their large parameter sizes and multi-step iterative denoising processes lead to substantial computational overhead, making efficient generation on mobile devices challenging. We propose CineMobile to bridge the gap. In particular, CineMobile adopts a three-fold optimization strategy: (1) leveraging a distillation-guided pruning approach to derive a compact yet efficient model that retains the essential video generation capabilities required for cinematic effects; (2) optimizing the compressed model into a 4-step generator via a combination of diffusion distillation and reinforcement learning; (3) employing a hybrid post-training quantization strategy to compress the model footprint to under 1 GB. Experimental results show that compared to the teacher model with the Wan 2.1 architecture, CineMobile achieves a 40x speedup in generation while maintaining comparable visual quality. Specifically, CineMobile generates 49-frame 480p videos with a per-step denoising latency of 0.6s on an NVIDIA H200 GPU and 20s on the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate 5G platform, with a peak memory usage of 1.8 GB, demonstrating its practical applicability for mobile-based image-to-video creation.

OpenCoF: Learning to Reason Through Video Generation

Reasoning has become a core capability for large models, especially when reliable decisions require understanding logical consequences. Recent video generation models offer a reasoning path distinct from previous Chain-of-Thought (CoT): reasoning can unfold through temporally connected frames, known as Chain-of-Frame (CoF) reasoning. However, existing video generators are primarily trained on general video corpora, still lacking diverse supervision and dedicated designs for CoF reasoning. To address this gap, we introduce OpenCoF, a framework comprising the OpenCoF-17K dataset, a reasoning video dataset spanning 11 task families, and Wan-CoF, a fine-tuned video model for studying whether diverse temporal supervision improves CoF behavior. Across four video reasoning benchmarks, Wan-CoF achieves considerable gains over the Wan2.2-I2V-A14B baseline. Building on this, we empirically explore more advanced designs for CoF capabilities, i.e., equipping the model with visual and textual reasoning tokens. This mechanism respectively captures low-level visual cues and high-level semantic priors for spatial and temporal reasoning. Through performance comparisons and attention analysis, we examine how these tokens contribute across model depth, denoising steps, space, and time. Our results suggest that stronger video reasoning requires both broad temporal supervision and explicit mechanisms for organizing intermediate reasoning state. We open-source the dataset, model, and code to facilitate future research on reasoning-oriented video generation.

Jet-Long: Efficient Long-Context Extension with Dynamic Bifocal RoPE

Modern LLMs are increasingly deployed in long-context applications such as retrieval-augmented generation, repository-level coding, and agentic workflows whose accumulated reasoning and tool traces routinely push the input an order of magnitude past the pretraining window, making zero-shot context extension the dominant deployment path for open-weight checkpoints. Most existing zero-shot methods fix a single rescaling factor up front, so an aggressive factor sacrifices short-context fidelity while a conservative one breaks down at long contexts. We propose Jet-Long, a tuning-free zero-shot method that pairs a local RoPE-faithful window with a long-range window whose rescaling factor adapts dynamically to the current sequence length, recovering the base model exactly at short inputs while extrapolating cleanly at long ones. An inclusion-exclusion attention merge and an on-the-fly RoPE correction rotation make the bifocal construction essentially free at inference; fused into a single CuTe kernel, long-context prefill reaches up to 1.39times FA2 throughput on H100 (approaching the Hopper-only FA4), and single-batch generation incurs le 4% overhead at every length. On Qwen3-1.7B/4B/8B up to 128K context, Jet-Long leads RULER by +4.79/+2.18/+2.03~pp over the strongest baseline at 1.7B/4B/8B, achieves the best overall accuracy on HELMET-RAG (a benchmark identified by HELMET as the most efficient predictor of downstream long-context performance) and attains the lowest PG-19 perplexity. Jet-Long also generalizes to hybrid attention architectures such as Jet-Nemotron for further long-context improvement without retraining, and remains hyperparameter-resilient for ease of deployment.

Linear Attention Architectures: Mechanisms, Trade-offs, and Cross-Layer Routing

Self-attention lets each token retrieve information from the full context, but its quadratic cost in sequence length limits training and inference at long context. This paper presents a comparative study of softmax attention and four recent recurrent linear-attention architectures: DeltaNet, Gated DeltaNet, Kimi Delta Attention, and Gated DeltaNet-2. We express these mechanisms in a common recurrent-memory notation, making explicit how they differ in expressivity, memory decay, erase and write control, training throughput, and implementation complexity. Our experiments center on 350M-parameter models trained for 15B tokens, and include optimizer and learning-rate comparisons, hybrid-versus-pure stack comparisons, sequence-length runtime measurements, larger DeltaNet runs at 1.3B and 3B parameters, and a small set of downstream evaluations. The reported speed results measure training throughput and iteration time; we do not provide an empirical inference-speed benchmark. Within the reported 350M-parameter, 15B-token sweep, Kimi Delta Attention with Muon reaches the lowest final validation loss, a pure Gated DeltaNet stack trained with AdamW has the highest normalized training throughput, hybrid stacks generally improve loss at a throughput cost, and Muon consistently lowers final validation loss relative to AdamW in the matched architecture settings we evaluate. We introduce and evaluate lightweight cross-layer routing mechanisms for DeltaNet-style memories. The most natural DeltaNet-inspired formulation, forwarding a lower layer's delta-rule write error into the next layer's value target, does not improve over matched baselines. Routing into the aligned hidden stream and forwarding the write value instead yields a modest improvement in the matched runs we report: Cross-Layer Value Routing (CLVR) lowers final validation loss for both DeltaNet and Gated DeltaNet.

DrugGen 2: A disease-aware language model for enhancing drug discovery

Current computational approaches for drug design typically focus on generating molecules conditioned on specific targets or general molecular properties, often neglecting the influence of disease context on target behavior and therapeutic outcomes. To address this gap, we introduce DrugGen-2, a novel generative model that designs small molecules conditioned on both disease ontology and target protein sequences. DrugGen-2 was developed by fine-tuning a pre-trained GPT-2 model on a curated dataset of approved drugs linked to their diseases and targets, using a two-step strategy of supervised fine-tuning followed by reinforcement learning via group relative policy optimization (GRPO). This process was guided by reward functions optimizing for chemical validity, novelty, diversity, and high predicted binding affinity. When evaluated on five protein targets relevant to diabetic nephropathy, DrugGen-2 significantly outperformed baseline models (DrugGPT and DrugGen). It demonstrated a superior capacity to generate unique molecules, exhibited greater structural similarity to approved drugs, and achieved improved predicted binding affinities across all targets. Molecular docking analyses further supported these findings, identifying candidate ligands with strong binding potential, including compounds with predicted affinities (-9.917, -9.485, and -9.367) exceeding those of reference drugs such as enalapril for angiotensin-converting enzyme (-8.283). By integrating disease-specific context into molecular generation, DrugGen-2 advances AI-assisted drug discovery, offering a powerful tool for de novo design and drug repurposing that accounts for the complex interplay between diseases and molecular targets.

Flash-BoN: Instant Drafts for Inference-Time Scaling in Diffusion Models

Inference-time scaling for text-to-image generation has progressed from simple Best-of-N (BoN) sampling to guided search methods that verify and steer candidate trajectories at intermediate denoising steps. These approaches focus on when and how often to verify during denoising but largely treat the cost of generation itself as fixed. Moreover, the standard practice of comparing methods by number of function evaluations (NFEs) counts only denoising forward passes and ignores verifier overhead, which can distort efficiency rankings. We show that under wall-clock evaluation, simple BoN already matches or outperforms several guided search techniques, suggesting that compute is better spent on broader exploration than on repeated intermediate verification. This motivates Flash-BoN, which generates a large pool of inexpensive draft candidates by combining three complementary acceleration knobs: timestep truncation, layer skipping, and activation proxies into a single configuration optimized once per model. An efficient multi-stage verification procedure then identifies the most promising draft, which is refined at full quality. Across three benchmarks and three model scales, Flash-BoN consistently outperforms all baselines under fixed wall-clock budgets, with gains that grow at larger model scales (+8% AUC). We further show that our strategy combines well and improves existing orthogonal techniques such as reflection-based prompt optimization (+16% AUC). The gains correlate with increased candidate diversity, which also enables draft-guided selection to accelerate RL post-training convergence.

A Quantized Native Runtime for On-Device Semantic Audio Generation

Semantic audio applications increasingly require controllable generation on commodity and embedded hardware rather than through framework-heavy datacenter stacks. We present aria, a dependency-free native runtime that runs the complete text-to-music pipeline of Stable Audio~3 (SA3) on ordinary GPUs, CPU-only machines, and a Raspberry~Pi~5, with no Python or deep-learning framework underneath. Our main contribution is a study of quantization: running the model at lower numerical precision to fit tight memory budgets, saving memory in place rather than adding to it. Because the runtime owns every internal tensor, it also exposes activation steering, a low-cost way to steer what the model generates. We judge the quality cost with three independent measures of the output (prompt adherence, overall audio quality, taste preservation), each compared against the ordinary variation between random seeds. Eight-bit precision shows no measurable quality loss on any measure while sharply cutting memory, and it is the fastest mode on the GPU; four-bit adds a small, bounded cost but shrinks the footprint enough to run the 1.2-billion-parameter model on an 8\,GB Pi. Against the official implementation, aria matches or exceeds generation speed and starts about seven times faster. A case study of the steering interface generates music carrying taste associations (sonic seasoning), with genuine but bounded control for a subset of attributes. These results make a compact, quantized runtime with built-in control a practical basis for on-device semantic audio in Internet-of-Sounds settings. The aria runtime is released at https://github.com/matteospanio/aria.

PhyMRI-SR: Toward Physics-Aware MRI Image Super-Resolution

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) super-resolution is vital for improving diagnostic accessibility, yet most methods treat it as a deterministic mapping from a fixed low-resolution input to a high-resolution target. This overlooks a key property of MRI acquisition physics: spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are inherently coupled, making any given low-resolution scan merely one of many possible realizations under varying acquisition trade-offs. We rethink MRI super-resolution as a physics-aware reconstruction problem, in which the goal is to identify the optimal resolution-SNR configuration and then super-resolve it to obtain high-quality MRI results. A key implication of this formulation is that MRI resolution becomes dynamic rather than fixed. To handle such resolution-heterogeneous inputs, we adapt 2D Gaussian Splatting (2D GS) to MRI by formulating reconstruction as a coordinate-based, resolution-agnostic rendering problem. To further enhance fidelity, we introduce three innovations: (1) a prior-aware Gaussian representation that combines an Anatomical Structure Prior for tissue-specific kernel initialization with an Imaging System Prior that captures hardware characteristics via a covariance dictionary; (2) a physics-constrained signal modeling scheme that predicts intrinsic tissue parameters (proton density rho and effective relaxation rate R2) and synthesizes intensities through governing physical equations, ensuring biophysically plausible contrast; and (3) a meta-learning framework that alleviates paired-data scarcity by pretraining on simulated data and adapting to real-world conditions. Extensive experiments on dynamic-resolution datasets and standard benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, highlighting its strong potential for clinical deployment.

UP: Unbounded Positive Asymmetric Optimization for Breaking the Exploration-Stability Dilemma

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become the standard paradigm for enhancing the complex reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). To achieve sample efficiency, modern RL frameworks rely on importance sampling (IS). However, these algorithms suffer from an exploration-stability dilemma. Pure IS often leads to catastrophic training instability, while standard clipping mechanisms used to mitigate this instability strictly constrain the policy update budget. By formalizing the concept of Probability Capacity (Cap), we reveal that conservative clipping structurally stifles exploration by prematurely truncating the update budget for correct but low-confidence reasoning paths. To break free from these constraints, we propose Unbounded Positive Asymmetric Optimization (UP), a universal and plug-and-play objective. UP theoretically restructures the optimization process by anchoring the policy to its current state via the stop-gradient operator. This asymmetric design unleashes unclipped, stable gradients for positive advantages to maximize exploration, while maintaining standard clipping safeguards for negative advantages to prevent training instability. Furthermore, our formulation readily extends across different optimization granularities, including token-level (GRPO, DAPO) and sequence-level (GSPO) frameworks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UP enhances exploration capacity and achieves superior reasoning accuracy across diverse RL algorithms (DAPO, GSPO, and GRPO), model architectures (Dense, MoE, and vision-language), and training modalities (language and multimodal), validating UP as a truly universal plug-and-play enhancement for RL-based training.

A Sparse and Truncated State Vector Simulator for Peaked Circuits

In a class of quantum circuits known as peaked circuits, the goal is to predict the most probable bit string at the output of the circuit. Since these circuits are designed to have a sharp peak in their output distribution, in principle it should be possible to simulate them using a truncated state vector with a limited number of terms, or a fraction of the total probability mass. This approximate simulation can be carried out on a classical computer with a sparse representation that stores only the nonzero amplitudes of the state vector, in contrast to the dense representations that are common in most quantum simulators. For efficiency, all operations on the state vector should be vectorized to the furthest possible extent and, if available, hardware acceleration can also be used. This work describes how these requirements were met in an open-source implementation, and discusses its performance and limitations.

Can Dialects Be Steered Like Languages? Sparse Neurons and Distributed Directions in Arabic LLMs

A key challenge in Arabic NLP is the scarcity of dialectal data relative to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), causing LLMs to overproduce MSA and struggle with dialectally accurate generation. From an interpretability perspective, this raises a fundamental question: where and how are dialectal features encoded within model internals, and can these representations be leveraged to improve dialect generation without fine-tuning? This study investigates two complementary inference-time approaches that serve simultaneously as interpretability probes and control mechanisms. First, we conduct a neuron-level analysis, identifying sparse neuron populations that encode dialect-specific features and showing that amplifying or suppressing these neurons can steer model outputs toward target dialects. Second, motivated by the entanglement of dialectal features at the single-neuron level, we apply a vector-steering approach that extracts dialect-specific activation directions and injects them during inference. Together, these methods illuminate the geometry of dialectal knowledge in Arabic LLMs and offer a principled, interpretability-grounded framework for dialect control without requiring dialect-specific fine-tuning.

CausalDS: Benchmarking Causal Reasoning in Data-Science Agents

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly act as integrated data-science agents, combining abstract reasoning with advanced tool use. Yet the relevant benchmark landscape largely divides into symbolic causal reasoning benchmarks without realistic data analysis or data analysis benchmarks without a principled causal data-generating structure. Furthermore, existing causal evaluation datasets are often restricted to curated examples from existing sources, with diversity coming from limited templatized variations rather than from systematic generation of novel synthetic causal structures. We introduce CausalDS, a benchmark for evaluating causal reasoning in agentic data-science workflows. Each benchmark instance is a scene consisting of a sampled structural causal model (SCM) with generated observational data and an accompanying synthetic natural-language story grounded in a realistic domain. We optionally ground the composition of the benchmark components in empirical distributions obtained from real-world datasets, thus retaining empirical structure while reducing the "causal parrot" risk through completely synthetic generation. From each scene, we then derive tasks spanning all three of Pearl's rungs, with typical data-science prediction tasks appearing as Rung 1. Most tasks include a data science coding component, where the model typically needs to use several tools to arrive at the final answer due to the frequent presence of imperfect observations, which are generated by an observation model. Additionally, recognizing when a question admits no warranted answer and abstaining is treated as a first-class scored outcome. The benchmark thus jointly evaluates symbolic causal reasoning, data science, uncertainty quantification, abstention, and tool use/coding.

ARDY: Autoregressive Diffusion with Hybrid Representation for Interactive Human Motion Generation

Generating realistic 3D human motions in real-time within interactive applications is key for animation, simulation, and humanoid robotics. While recent offline motion generation approaches offer precise control via text and kinematic constraints, they lack the inference speed required for interactive settings. Conversely, existing online methods enable real-time synthesis but often sacrifice controllability or struggle with complex text semantics and long-horizon goals due to limited context windows. In this work, we introduce ARDY, a streaming generation framework that bridges this gap by enabling high-fidelity motion generation controllable via online text prompts and flexible kinematic constraints. ARDY employs a hybrid representation that combines explicit root features with a latent body embedding, balancing precise trajectory control with efficient generative learning. We propose a two-stage autoregressive transformer denoiser that features variable history context and supports conditioning on flexible, long-horizon kinematic constraints. By training on a large-scale motion capture dataset and being directly conditioned on text labels and kinematic constraints sampled from ground truth poses, ARDY natively learns controllable generation that supports online prompting and flexible long-horizon goals. Extensive evaluations on the HumanML3D benchmark and the large-scale, high-fidelity Bones Rigplay dataset demonstrate ARDY's high motion quality and constraint adherence, validating the efficacy of our key architectural decisions. Finally, we demonstrate the method's practical versatility through an interactive demo featuring dynamic text control, diverse keyframe pose constraints, path following, and interactive locomotion control via mouse and keyboard.

OpenRouter 上近五成美国公司使用中国 AI 模型

OpenRouter 的数据显示:美国企业每周调用中国 AI 的占比按代表数据处理量的“词元”统计,自 2 月起突破30%,峰值达 46%。相比下 2025 年上半年仅 4% 左右。背景是美国本土 AI 使用成本升高。美国OpenAI 及美国 Anthropic 等高端模型的性能不断提高,可自动处理长时间、高复杂度的任务。但随着企业在内部业务、面向客户服务中广泛使用 AI,词元的消耗量增加,使用成本增加。OpenRouter 平台拥有 800 万用户,以工程师群体为主,每输出 100 万词元(约对应 70 万英文词汇)的收费标准方面,Anthropic 的“Claude Opus 4.7”收费 25 美元,而最热门的 DeepSeek V4 Flash 仅收费 0.18 美元,成本不足前者的 1%。

Google 搜索量在世界杯期间创下纪录

Google 表示世界杯期间其搜索量创下历史纪录,每秒查询量的峰值是在阿根廷与埃及比赛中间射入制胜球之后。 这一里程碑式的成就正值 Google 试图证明其传统搜索引擎在 AI 聊天机器人日益普及的时代仍能保持其重要性之际。Google 仍然占据着九成的搜索市场份额,其股价过去一年翻了一番多,第一季度营收增速是自 2022 年以来最快的。Google 表示赛后搜索量最高的查询是“阿根廷 vs 埃及(argentina vs egypt)”。在全球范围内,用户还搜索了“阿根廷 vs 哥伦比亚”和“梅西在世界杯上进了多少球”,以及“比赛中一名球员撞击其他球员叫什么”和“这是梅西的最后一届世界杯吗”。

美国国会调查美国公司使用中国 AI 模型

美国国会议员正在调查美国公司使用中国 AI 模型。议员们担心审查、安全风险,以及美国 AI 公司的模型是否过于昂贵或限制过多。Cursor 和 Airbnb 等公司是调查重点。众议院国土安全委员会和众议院中国问题特别委员会致函 Cursor 和 Airbnb 询问他们使用中国 AI 模型的风险。美国部分政府部门已禁止使用 DeepSeek 等中国模型,但美国公司并未被禁止使用中国 AI 模型。有很多美国公司一直用中国 AI 模型降低使用成本,其中就包括了即将被 SpaceX 公司以 600 亿美元收购的 Cursor 公司,该公司的 Composer 2 模型是基于北京月之暗面(Moonshot AI)的 Kimi 模型。美国国会还在调查美国公司的开源 AI 模型战略,确保美国公司不需要在昂贵或受到限制的本国模型与廉价且功能强大的中国 AI 模型之间做选择。

父母的手机上瘾影响与子女的关系

根据发表在《Frontiers in Psychology》期刊上的一项研究,父母对屏幕和智能手机的上瘾可能会对孩子的发育和心理造成长期的负面影响。研究显示,对设备管理不当的看护者可能会加剧“不安全依恋”,使得人际关系变得更加焦虑和回避。这项研究基于美国 600 名 12-17 岁的未成年人的调查,儿童表示他们感到被盯着屏幕的父母边缘化或忽视。研究人员表示,缺乏安全依恋的孩子可能会缺乏自信或表现出较低的自我意识;在人际关系和亲密关系方面表现出困难;并不愿意承担取得成功所必需的风险。

继父用 11 岁继女的照片生成数千张 CSAM 图像

拟议中的集体诉讼披露了一起使用 xAI 的 Grok 生成数千张 CSAM(child sex abuse materials)图像的案件。 一名女孩的继父利用一张继女在 11 岁时拍摄的照片使用 Grok 生成了 7000 张 CSAM 图像。诉讼称 Grok 在整个过程中没有标记任何有害行为。Grok 的儿童安全系统只在这名男子输入“gang rape”后才介入,向 NCMEC 发送了举报,NCMEC 随后向执法部门报告了这起案件。法律规定 CSAM 被标记后需要共享 IP 等用户信息。但 xAI 被指控拒绝合作。最终警方通过搜查令扣押了继父的设备随后将其逮捕。继父还被指控网上出售这些 CSAM 材料,换取其他儿童性犯罪者的 CSAM 材料。该男子获准保释两天后便开枪自杀,而他的继女则饱受焦虑和抑郁的折磨,诉讼称她的生活在一夜之间被摧毁了,生活变成了一场噩梦。

美国部分地区居民多达三成对红肉过敏

根据发表在《Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report》期刊上的一项研究,美国部分地区居民多达三成携带导致红肉过敏的抗体。这一比例远超此前的预计,意味着红肉过敏的美国人比以前认为的多得多。该过敏反应被称为α-半乳糖综合征(alpha-gal syndrome),其特点是发作缓慢,通常在餐后 2-6 小时之间出现,使得很难将过敏反应与食物联系起来。症状包括荨麻疹、恶心、呕吐、腹部绞痛、腹泻,或严重过敏反应如呼吸困难、喉咙紧缩、舌头或嘴唇肿胀、头晕、脉搏微弱和血压下降等迹象。研究人员分析了美国 10 个州 3000 份献血样本,结果显示田纳西州、阿肯色州等五个州的抗体比例最高达到 31.2%,平均 24%。

2026 年二季度 PC 出货量下滑 5%

由于内存危机,2026 年二季度 PC 出货量 6820 万台同比下滑 5%。IDC 警告如果这一情况继续下去小型供应商可能会倒闭。联想等大型供应商因为能提前与内存制造商协商供货,因此状况还比较好。联想最近公布的财报显示,其 PC 和智能设备业务收入增长了 26%。IDC 警告称,随着苹果、戴尔、惠普和联想等行业巨头利用其规模优势确保内存供应并挤压小型竞争对手,厂商整合的风险在增加。行业巨头已做好从小型竞争对手手中夺取市场份额的准备,可能会迫使实力较弱的企业进行合并或退出市场。

OpenMandriva 项目发生破坏事件

OpenMandriva 项目发生一起破坏事件,开发者出于透明原则公布了事件经过:有多个新人加入了项目团队,其中之一是 Mumble 项目的 Davide Beatrici,他比较知名因此获得了团队的信任,获得了管理员权限。同时加入的还有 Beatrici 的朋友。但他的朋友在发行版的 Matrix 聊天室对其他人进行了攻击和辱骂,导致其他人退出。此人最终被踢出。在朋友被踢出之后 Beatrici 也离开了项目。鉴于此开发者切断了他维护的镜像连接。但此举却激怒了 Beatrici,他滥用其管理权限删除了 GitHub 上的部分库,在 cooker 库中发布了一个空包,导致所有 gnome 和 cosmic 软件包失效,破坏使用 gnome 或 cosmic 的用户的系统。OpenMandriva 项目目前正致力于恢复已删除的库,恢复失效包的功能。项目披露这一情况旨在提醒开源社区注意 Davide Beatrici。

Microsoft 365 Copilot 普及率不到 4.5%

微软花了三年时间将 Copilot 深入集成到 Windows 11 和 Office 中,但数据显示用户使用率并不高。在 4.5 亿 Microsoft 365 订阅服务的商业客户中,只有 4.5% 的人付费使用 Copilot,而这些付费用户只有 20% 到 30% 会每周打开 Copilot。这意味着 Copilot 的周活跃用户数仅占 Microsoft 365 总用户数的 1%。Copilot 负责人 Jacob Andreou 在一份内部备忘录中称,Copilot 必须证明自己存在的价值。值得说明的是 Copilot 是指需要额外付费的 AI 服务,而 Copilot Chat 则是 Microsoft 365 用户可免费使用的 AI 服务,它的使用率比较高。
