Large Tabular Models Excel Where LLMs Fail

The large language models (LLMs) that form the basis of generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can generate uncannily human-like text and images. But these models still struggle with a skill that, ironically, looks at face value to be right in their…

Four nuclear reactors hit a big milestone in the US

I was really looking forward to July 4, and not just because I love a poolside barbecue. This year the American holiday also marked a big symbolic deadline for US nuclear power. Last year the Trump administration set a goal to see three new microreactors…

DASH: Dynamic Audio-Driven Semantic Chunking for Efficient Omnimodal Token Compression

arXiv:2603.15685v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Omnimodal large language models (OmniLLMs) jointly process audio and visual streams, but the resulting long multimodal token sequences make inference prohibitively expensive. Existing compression methods typically rely on fixed window partitioning and attention-based pruning, which overlook the piecewise semantic structure…

Behavior Foundations for Quadruped Robots: ABot-C0 Technical Report

arXiv:2607.07370v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In embodied intelligence systems, the motion controller serves as the critical bridge between semantic reasoning and physical execution. Humanoid control has progressed rapidly through large-scale human motion-capture data and motion-tracking paradigm. However, producing quadruped robots motion corpora with scalability and…
