Interconnects post in which Nathan Lambert revisits his claim that an open-weight Claude Mythos would have been survivable. He argues GLM-5.3 already crosses the capability threshold with little visible societal change, and quotes Rob Wiblin, Anthropic and Zvi Mowshowitz as examples of exaggerated warnings. He cites Epoch AI's Firefox exploit built with GLM-5.3, and treats the recent vulnerability surge as an ecosystem trend driven by AI capability and diffusion, not open versus closed models.

This paper derives bounds on predicting an LLM's decode length from prefill-phase hidden states, a primitive for inference scheduling. It models decoding as a stopped stochastic process, giving per-prompt normality and an affine variance law σ=αμ+b. Predictors (MLP, EGTP, FiLM, soft-label, Mixture-of-Experts) converge near the bound, so system error dominates model error. It proposes fixing model, data and sampling in benchmarks and reporting relative-error metrics.

This paper studies how multimodal LLMs refuse questions that an image cannot answer, using the MoHoBench benchmark on three MLLMs. It varies the meaning and placement of refusal instructions, compares supervised and preference-based post-training, and intervenes on a refusal-related activation direction. Instructions change refusal at the sample level in ways aggregate rates hide. Post-training raises refusal most but can mix refusal with attempted answers. Activation intervention gives smaller, transferable changes.

Spending uses a commit-reveal step through two new transaction types in op-geth. The post describes a flaw the authors found: unauthenticated commits could be overwritten, which allowed preimage front-running. It was fixed with a first-commit-wins rule on 21 October 2026. It lists the remaining limits: L1 ECDSA, no fault proofs, a centralized sequencer, 160-bit addresses and wallet desync.

Intervention-Certified Amplification (ICA) is a validity gate for sigma-weighted hybrid SFT/RL post-training. The paper shows that DIAA, a per-sample sigma-weighted hybrid, emits unexecuted tool-integrated reasoning on 29% of MATH-500 prompts (three times vanilla GRPO) even with Python fences removed from its anchor. ICA gates sigma with paired-rollout evidence, cutting TIR to 13.8% (frozen) and 11.2% (online) and raising accuracy from 47.5% to 48.7% and 49.3%. It transfers to GSM8K.

Abusing Linux fanotify for anti-forensics: a privileged userspace process can use the fanotify API to deny other processes the right to open an otherwise normal file. Reads fail with EPERM even for root, while name, ownership, timestamps and permissions look ordinary, so a scanner that cannot open a file may report no detections without inspecting it. Defenders can find malicious fanotify groups and marks via /proc/<pid>/fdinfo, or acquire at the filesystem level instead of opening the pathname.

FNO-MoE is a Fourier neural operator with a mixture of experts that predicts the full near-explicit chemical state (Master Chemical Mechanism, thousands of species) over 30 minutes in one call. Expert disagreement selects the most informative box-model simulations, so active sampling beats random or evenly spread sampling at equal cost. Fine-tuning on longer trajectories keeps multi-hour runs stable, and the emulator runs orders of magnitude faster than the numerical solver.

Ethereum core developers postponed Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet on 22 October 2026, four days before the 26 October activation. ChainSecurity research showed EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 gas repricing can let a contract's failure path succeed where it used to revert, for example a fresh storage write costing 110,020 gas instead of 22,100. This enables "insufficient gas griefing", and ChainSecurity found 13 real-world cases.

Ethereum developers postponed the Glamsterdam hard fork on the Hoodi testnet (due 26 October 2026) after auditor ChainSecurity reported that the gas changes in EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 break assumptions in existing contracts. Gas can be refilled after a failed call and repricing alters call costs, so failure paths that used to revert can now complete, undermining insufficient gas griefing protections. ChainSecurity found 13 real-world examples and is in responsible disclosure.

DRIVE is a per-sample weighting framework for single-stage fine-tuning when the source pre-training data is unavailable. It uses one differentiable objective: Shapley additivity splits each sample's contribution into anti-forgetting and adaptation parts, a covariance-based diversity term reshapes them, and a sample-characteristic prior stabilizes them. The authors prove better stability-plasticity guarantees than existing weighting schemes and report better performance, faster convergence and more robustness.

Signal-Aware Adaptive Fusion (SAAF) is a training-free zero-shot video anomaly detection framework that cuts the compute cost of vision-language models. It combines a dual-signal sampler (frame-to-frame delta and rolling-context drift in embedding space, OR-gated with EMA thresholds), a threshold-gated cascade from frame-level to video-level analysis, and signal-aware score fusion. It reports AUC-ROC of 92.07% on XD-Violence, 86.70% on MSAD and 80.54% on ShanghaiTech, at 2.2x to 2.6x the throughput of the prior best zero-shot method.

SOMA (Sharpness-aware Orthogonalized Momentum Algorithm) combines sharpness-aware minimization (SAM) with the Muon optimizer for LLM training. It avoids SAM's extra gradient computation by using stale, purely stochastic gradient noise as the adversarial perturbation. The authors prove sample complexity does not depend on perturbation direction, study robustness to heavy-tailed gradient noise, and test SOMA against post-training quantization degradation and catastrophic forgetting during fine-tuning.

Preprint (IACR ePrint 2026/2611) proposing a federated learning defense that replaces gradient detection with zero-knowledge-proof sample-level audits of client datasets. A staking mechanism forces attackers to train on discovered poisoned samples with flipped labels, producing counter-gradients that remove the backdoor without knowing the trigger. ZKP commitments lock the training data, which blocks adaptive attacks and gradient tampering. On CIFAR-10 under Dir(0.1) non-IID, it holds attack success rate below 6% against distributed backdoor and edge-case attacks.

Tampered ML is a benchmark of 1,858 item-pairs, each pairing an experiment proposal reconstructed from a published ML paper with a minimally edited version that adds a targeted methodological flaw. Models must pick the sounder proposal in both presentation orders. A human study estimates 86% of items are valid (95% CI 81-91%). Opus 5 reaches 77.9% accuracy, and models are sensitive to order and favor flawed designs that look more specific, transparent, or conventional.

Rate-Controlled Refresh (RCR) is a KV cache re-selection method for multimodal LLMs in long-form generation. Attention drift decides when and where to re-select visual tokens, and a per-sample controller sets how often. RCR beats InfiniGen by 1.6-3.8 ROUGE-L points on five of six model-task settings and stays within 1.7 points of exact per-step re-selection. On video description, where drift is homogeneous, it no longer beats a fixed threshold.

This IACR ePrint paper (2026/2597) systematically compares ring-oscillator-based additive noise generators, a hiding countermeasure against side-channel attacks. Experiments show many existing designs ignore output amplification and the risk of the noise being filtered out, so they lower signal-to-noise ratio too little. The authors give a guideline on inverter chain length, output amplification and frequency randomization, and build a tailored generator for an AES implementation that outperforms prior designs.

Thomas Decru's ePrint 2026/2595 proves a corrected version of radical isogeny formulae for every N≥4, odd and even, over fields of characteristic coprime to 2N. It settles the sign choice for even N so that 2-isogeny walks stay on the volcano surface. One radical step costs about 12.5N multiplications and one exponentiation, and the paper shows how to evaluate radical isogenies on points, so a CSIDH class group action needs no torsion point sampling.
