Should Researchers Write Papers for AI Instead of People?

This May, 37 researchers from roughly two dozen top universities and tech companies published a paper on ArXiv, arguing that scientists should stop writing papers. Why? Because artificial intelligence needs a different format, and AI’s needs, they say, should be the priority.“AI agents are becoming…

NASA’s new dark-energy space telescope can also detect killer asteroids

At the end of August, NASA is set to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Its goal is to help us better understand how the universe works, from the glue-like dark matter that keeps galaxies together to the…

Fail-Fast, Restart-Smart: Early Failure Prediction and Restart for SWE Agentic Tasks

arXiv:2608.03222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Software engineering (SWE) agents resolve repository-level issues through long trajectories that grow increasingly expensive as context accumulates. Failed runs tend to be longer and exhibit redundant exploration or looping, suggesting that some failures may be detectable before completion. Early termination,…

Self-Organising Digital Circuits

arXiv:2608.02606v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fault tolerance in classical computing has traditionally relied on static strategies like hardware redundancy and error-correcting codes. Biological systems, in contrast, exhibit adaptive plasticity, maintaining function through dynamic re-organisation around damage. Inspired by this principle, we introduce Self-Organising Digital Circuits,…

Shorter Reasoning, Earlier Answers? An Evaluation of Reasoning Interfaces

arXiv:2608.03401v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models often reason at length before answering, increasing cost and latency. Prompts and trained settings can shorten this reasoning, but a shorter trace may only show that the model stopped sooner. Here, we evaluate paired runs of the…
