A fundamental flaw leaves LLMs strikingly vulnerable to attack

It is impossible to make large language models fully secure against hacks because of a fundamental flaw in how they work, a team of researchers argue in a paper presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning, a top AI conference, this month. The claim…

Retraction-Free Optimization over the Stiefel Manifold for the LoRA Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2607.25299v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimization over the Stiefel manifold plays a significant role in various machine learning tasks. Existing methods either use the retraction operators, requiring costly orthonormalization for large-scale matrices, or employ landing methods that rely on careful step size selection and penalty…

F(AI)2R: Who Did What, and Who Checked? Verifiable AI Provenance as an Executable Skill

arXiv:2607.25637v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: F(AI)2R is FAIR research with AI in the loop, twice: an AI-assisted authoring pass and a machine-readable audit pass over every artefact. AI systems now draft, refactor, and verify research artefacts, yet their contributions are rarely recorded in a form…
