Two papers tighten the video-to-action loop, a third asks whether GPT-6-Astra is truly embodied, and South Korea funds a 25-degree-of-freedom hand. The loop from model to metal is closing.
Storage-layer RAG acceleration, a deflated NPU narrative, a 46 MB model that holds its own on a laptop CPU — the center of gravity for inference is moving to the endpoint.
Town's co-founder makes the case for agents that spend on the user's behalf; Cyberhaven's data and LeanData's survey say governance and security are years behind. The gap is the story.
Microsoft's production analysis shows agentic KV pressure setting memory budgets, while two new preprints rebuild agent memory as task objects and interaction-aware selection.
A stochastic operator network for SPDEs, LLM warm-starts for simulator calibration, physics-encoded modular layers, and amortized model evidence — four arXiv preprints, one pattern.
A binding A$9.3B Australian take-private lands the same day two investors lay out patient capital: 15-year horizons, compounding over exits, and Apollo's Yahoo as the live hold-or-exit case study.
Westpac sees Brent averaging US$101 in Q4 with a US$150 escalation scenario, while AllianceBernstein warns Europe's households are saving more and spending less under already-restrictive policy.
In preprints posted this week, researchers map isoform-selective antibody-drug binders, a tractable mouse model of tertiary lymphoid structures, and a chromatin complex driving AR-V7 in prostate cancer.
Three preprints this week converge on overlooked immune populations: a suppressive B cell circuit that blunts CAR T in AML, inducible regulatory B cells for GVHD, and a Th1 signature tied to sepsis survival.
Game 5's 3-1 win put Tampa one victory from its third World Series trip. Cleveland turns to a bullpen game with Gavin Williams unavailable; the Brewers, who swept the Dodgers on Oct 15, wait.
The Packers have held three straight opponents under 14 points and lead the NFL with nine interceptions. Dallas has scored under 17 a game for two weeks running and falls to 2-4.
The Thunder locked up a core piece before opening week. The Pacers cannot add even a minimum deal, and the Wolves are leaving their 15th spot open — the Locked On hosts walk through exactly why.
Opening week arrives with the Thunder down a player for the year, the Magic down three, and the Warriors' star nursing a minor rolled ankle. The details come from the Locked On podcast hosts.
St. John's erased a 20-point deficit in four overtimes, Illinois State toppled a Big Ten visitor, Creighton ambushed Iowa State, Indiana routed UNC, and Maryland rallied from 19 down in overtime.
Chad Ryland went 6-for-6 to end Arizona's four-game skid and an eight-game division skid, while the defense held the NFL's No. 1 offense to 286 yards. Both teams are 2-4.
Allen's milestone came on a shovel pass to Keon Coleman. The 5-1 Bills get Baltimore next; the Raiders' losing streak comes down to red-zone failures and penalties.
At the Green Swan Conference in Manila, Banca d'Italia's Fabio Panetta put a $200B damage figure behind the case for climate in monetary mandates; DNB's Olaf Sleijpen framed the choice as dangerous versus manageable; Westpac NZ is already cutting forecasts on energy markets.
