Spark-to-Paper: End-to-End Research Paper Generation as a Composable Skill
HF ★ 0 · Zhuoyang Qian, Biao Wu, Yiran Wang… · HF Mirror
This paper proposes Spark-to-Paper, an end-to-end paper generation system that can be embedded into existing coding assistants without requiring an independent agent platform. It splits the generation process into 13 composable skills, separates model judgment from deterministic operations and experimental planning from reporting, adds verification steps to avoid self-contradiction issues, and supports generating editable vector graphics. Actual tests show 99.5% citation accuracy, 96.4% editable chart rate, fraud detection rate increased from 14% to 92%, average cost per paper of $8.1, and average time consumption of 3.2 hours, verifying the feasibility of this lightweight solution.
Agent Safety Should Be a Runtime Contract
HF ★ 0 · Albus W. Ng, Yi Han, Jusheng Zhang… · HF Mirror
Current mainstream AI security adopts training-phase injection strategies such as RLHF, which cannot adapt to scenarios of autonomous agents that can execute code and modify data. This paper proposes that agent security should adopt runtime contracts, block dangerous operations in advance through sandboxes and permission control, and retain verifiable evidence such as test records and logs to verify compliance. Combined with four types of empirical evidence, it points out that the core of agent security should be execution traces with verifiable evidence, rather than the model itself.

Transformer Geometry Observatory TGO-IV: Developmental Topology Observatory
Kaustubh Kapil, Kishor P. Upla
Aiming at the problem that existing Transformer interpretability studies mostly analyze single layers or the entire network in isolation and lack exploration of cross-layer representation evolution laws, this research proposes the TGO-IV topological analysis framework, using persistent homology as the core tool, constructs VR complexes from token representation point clouds, combines multiple types of topological feature indicators, tracks the global topological evolution law during the forward propagation of representations, and provides a new path for exploring the evolution nodes and action mechanisms from raw input to task-related features.
Uncertainty-Aware Ensemble Deep Randomized Neural Networks for Classification
M. Sajid, A. Quadir, A. Rahaman…
Aiming at the problems that existing deep randomized neural networks process training samples uniformly, have weak resistance to noise and outliers, and cross-layer propagation of contaminated features affects decision-making effects, this research introduces intuitionistic fuzzy theory, combines membership degree based on sample distance to category center and non-membership degree based on neighborhood heterogeneity to assign adaptive weights to samples, which can distinguish samples of different quality, and proposes two robust improved frameworks. Tests on benchmark datasets (including noisy scenarios) show that its performance outperforms all existing SOTA solutions.
CurveFP: Rational-Radix Logarithmic Datatypes with Closed Products for Language Models
Ye Qiao
Aiming at the problem that most low-precision data types for large models optimize scalar fidelity without improving product operations, this paper proposes CurveFP, a family of rational-radix logarithmic closed-product data types. Product operations only require symbol XOR and integer index update, and an 8-bit version for training and a 7-bit version for deployment are launched respectively. Actual tests show that the 7-bit version has 1 bit less than FP8 but still delivers better perplexity, the 8-bit version has lower matrix operation error, and pre-training performance is close to BF16, balancing accuracy, low storage footprint and operation simplicity.

After Orthogonality: Virtue-Ethical Agency and AI Alignment
The Gradient
This AI alignment research starts from the perspective of virtue ethics, refutes the common presupposition that “rational agents need to anchor fixed ultimate goals”, and points out that the core of human rational action is to adapt to the practical network including action tendencies, evaluation standards and other elements. It proposes that if AI is to cooperate with humans and operate in compliance, its decision-making logic needs to match the practical reasoning paradigm of humans. This idea covers both ethical alignment and core security needs.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement
Lilian Weng
This article sorts out the conceptual evolution of recursive self-improvement (RSI): in 1965, scholar I.J. Good first proposed that superintelligent machines can surpass humans in all intellectual activities, and can also design better machines to complete self-iteration; in 2008, Eliezer Yudkowsky clarified that its core is the feedback loop where AI relies on existing intelligence to optimize its own cognitive mechanism. Currently, such feedback for AI includes both the model directly rewriting its own weights, and broadly covers training pipeline optimization.

QbitAI
Jeff Dean disclosed the details of the last 48 hours before his departure after 27 years at Google at the top conference KDD 2026: he first announced his departure to 139 close colleagues, then to all Google employees, attended a farewell party with 1500 people, stayed up until 2:30 a.m. replying to farewell messages, marked himself as “unemployed” the night he returned his work badge, and took office as co-founder and CEO of the new company Discovery Loop at midnight, with three other core Google researchers starting the business with him.
Anthropic CEO’s constant doomsday talk is unbearable for investors
QbitAI
It is reported that AI company Anthropic will go public at the end of October, with a financing amount that may exceed $60 billion, expected to become the second largest IPO in the world. However, the company’s CEO Dario Amodei has long been highly vigilant about AI risks, insisting that safety takes priority over profit. Related conservative operations have caused dissatisfaction among investors, who even question whether he is here to run the company or save the world, asking him to play down AI doomsday risks and talk more about commercialization plans. Currently, the market is already worried about its IPO performance.
