Ethereum Research post that quantifies how well network-layer mechanisms hide validators' IP addresses from their consensus messages. Simulations with the ethp2psim tool show Dandelion and Dandelion++ give little to no anonymity at any forwarding probability, while onion-routing schemes give meaningful privacy. Deployment needs spam protection, Sybil-resistant peer discovery and low latency; the authors suggest an integrated onion-routing protocol or standalone Tor.

JADE (Joint Action DEnoiser) is a diffusion-based vision-language-action architecture in which the VLM reads the current noisy action latents together with images and instructions at every denoising step, and guides the action expert through gated cross-attention. The VLM is also trained to recover clean action latents, and an adaptive step-size schedule cuts sampling steps. On RoboDojo it averages 12.67% success, the highest among π0.5-based methods, and it adds 20.8 points over π0.5 on four real bimanual tasks.

The paper proposes a 3D-integration defense against side-channel attacks on post-quantum cryptography implementations. It uses decoy keys and physical shielding through chip stacking, and moves Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) computation to dedicated chips, complementing masking and shuffling. The authors validate it against a generic attack on intermediate values inside an NTT butterfly. It covers ML-KEM, ML-DSA, FN-DSA and SLH-DSA.

The paper audits six situational-safety benchmarks for multimodal LLMs and proposes the Benchmark Card, seven measured fields that show whether a SAFE/UNSAFE label score comes from the scene, the request or the benchmark files. MSSBench chat leaks its label through image size, which alone reaches 82.3% accuracy. The Spot-Stop decomposition splits ranking-versus-labelling gaps across fourteen open MLLMs, and label-free recentering improves ranking on VSCBench for 13 of 14 models.

CompSkill is a skill retrieval method for LLM agents that indexes skill documents with learned 512-d keys and compiles matched same-task execution comparisons into skill offsets and capped key residuals (KeyOpt). Experience changes which document the executor receives, not its text. Compact keys lift SkillRet NDCG@10 from 64.0 to 70.9, and it completes 256 of 332 ToolQA tasks with GPT-5.6 Luna.

ShiftRAG is a decoupled retrieval-augmented generation framework that uses one LLM backbone but separates discriminative retrieval learning from autoregressive generation. It projects retrieval alignments into continuous soft tokens so the generator receives retriever-side signals, and adds a soft orthogonality objective against rank collapse in decoder-only models. The abstract reports gains in retrieval and question answering over state-of-the-art baselines, without numbers.

Callix is a static analysis system that finds access control flaws at sensitive callsites in pre-installed Android apps, including generic APIs such as database reads that become sensitive when they touch protected data. It recovers each security check on a path as an explicit security property and uses a "restriction context" to judge whether the checks suffice. On 1,750 apps from 10 vendors it found 819 vulnerable paths, 42.1% allowing private user data access through generic database operations, with 95.1% precision on a 60% manual sample.

The paper treats a benchmark as an empirical measure over item difficulty and formalizes two failure modes: measure mismatch (benchmark difficulty distribution differs from the intended one) and coverage gaps (uncovered difficulty regions that hide localized training progress). It proposes two diagnostic metrics with theoretical guarantees and analyzes 25 popular benchmarks across 7 domains using estimated item difficulties. It also introduces BenchFill, a difficulty-targeted item rewriting algorithm that reduces local coverage gaps.

ResMem is a method that distills retrieved knowledge into a parametric memory. The LLM reads retrieved text offline to produce teacher targets, and a memory sharing the same backbone learns an additive logit residual through self-distillation. On a Wikipedia subset it cuts teacher-construction storage by 94.7% versus a kNN pipeline. Across five QA datasets, mean token F1 rises from 32.83% to 34.48%, and it breaks 21% fewer correct answers than a kNN-trained memory.

SPARK is a corrective multi-episode framework for embodied retrieval-augmented generation. After the first episode, a semantic critic flags regions of the knowledge base, a targeted planner generates revisits, and a selective merge adds, removes or replaces entries. On four AirSim outdoor maps with 158 EQA questions, one corrective episode improves accuracy on every map while storing 13-41% fewer objects than append-only updating.

ProLand (Product-space Landing) is a retraction-free optimizer for LoRA fine-tuning that keeps the basis factor near the Stiefel manifold. It coordinates factor updates with Muon-style spectral directions, designing updates in the space of the weight increment so objective optimization and orthogonality restoration stay separate. It reports the highest average score among compared methods across 11 tasks on DeBERTa-v3-base, Qwen2.5-3B, Llama-3.2-3B and Moonlight-16B-A3B at several ranks.

TextSeal2 is a distortion-free watermark for LLM output that keeps its signal under speculative decoding. It merges two or more keys into one virtual key coupled to fresh noise through AutoMark's Gaussian copula, and verifies drafts with an extra exponential race. On three LLMs it detects 8 to 22 points more 100-token answers than TextSeal at a 10^-3 false-positive rate.

Multi-View MoE is a sparse mixture-of-experts design that uses several independently initialized routers to select experts, then reuses their relative scores to mix learned latent views into each selected expert's input. Each expert still runs one forward pass, so active-expert count, FLOPs and all-to-all volume are unchanged. On a 24-layer 10B-A1B model trained on 708B tokens, it gains 1.18 points on a nine-task mean; Multi-Router alone gains 0.6.

Rewindable interactive proofs (RIPs) are a new model of relativizing interactive proofs for scalable oversight, in which a weak verifier can rewind an AI prover to an earlier saved state. The paper builds an RIP for computations robust to changes in a small fraction of oracle answers. The honest prover runs in linear time, the verifier runs in nearly linear time in the input length after one-time preprocessing, and no cryptography is used. A preliminary MNIST experiment shows an RIP can be faster than a deployed proof system.

PhysCount is a benchmark of 546 real-world images and 4,595 human-written questions in 651 target-specific groups. It tests whether multimodal LLMs can separate visible appearances (direct view, reflections, glass) from the physical entities behind them. Across 40 MLLMs, counting appearances is much easier than linking them to entities, and the best model answers every question correctly in only 13.36% of groups.

Understanding and Mitigating Role Spoofing in LLMs is an arXiv paper (October 2026) on role spoofing, a prompt injection where malicious tool output impersonates the user. It shows models track "who said what" using both content cues (semantics, style) and structure cues (control tokens, formatting). Attacks combining fake structure and content succeed often, adversarial training stops only content-based attacks, and linear probes trained to predict conversation roles detect spoofing across settings.

EpiCoach is an agentic system that treats one cross-country mountain biker as an N-of-1 experiment. Claims live in an evidence-gated hypothesis registry, and each must make a probabilistic prediction before a session. Predictions come from a digital twin fitted to heart rate, GPS and altitude. In a replay over eighteen months the twin beat standard forecasters on heart rate but not segment time, and the agent loop matched a static model. In the first three live weeks, the ledger sealed 20 predictions and scored 14, and a safety officer vetoed the agent twice. The registry, benchmark and protocol are released.

Nadim Kobeissi's ePrint paper 2026/2683 argues that ProVerif and Tamarin should be called symbolic protocol analyzers, not provers. It audits their published soundness arguments, finding false statements, missing proofs and gaps between paper and implementation, and reproduces reported Tamarin bugs that accept false claims. It also covers model gaps in parsers and state machines, weak secrecy queries and unjustified primitive equations. The page is an abstract only.

Shor's algorithm compiled on cat qubits is an IACR ePrint (2026/2665) giving an end-to-end resource estimate on superconducting cat qubits, using repetition and LDPC cat codes. Factoring RSA-2048 needs about 23,000 cat qubits and 3.14 days, assuming phase-flip noise p_Z = 5e-4 and no bit-flips. secp256k1 ECDLP needs at most 30,000 qubits and 1 hour. A space-for-time trade runs RSA-2048 in 1.25 hours on about 611,000 qubits.

Beyond the Event Horizon of Keccak extends a 2011 observation that a path in the Keccak sponge from a zero-capacity state back to one yields infinite second-preimage families. Three theorems cover loops from any capacity value x, k-block loops and cycles, and Joux-style multicollisions with search cost independent of k. Verified examples run on Keccak-f[200] and Keccak-f[1600] with c=32; it also proposes bridge-based protocols.

This paper studies data scaling laws in stereo matching and releases XStereo, a realistic synthetic dataset of 200 thousand samples. In-domain training on five large datasets shows two regimes: a standard power law, then saturation, with a transition point roughly fixed for a given model. Cross-domain performance depends only weakly on source data scale, and distribution and coverage diversity reduce domain gaps more.

CALM is a conflict-aware lifecycle memory governance framework for long-horizon language agents. It turns records into evidence-grounded memory cells, updates their validity and lifecycle states from support, conflict and dependency signals, and admits evidence at query time through training-free or learned gating based on temporal applicability. It beats baselines on LongMemEval-S and LoCoMo with Qwen and GPT backbones, and keeping superseded records helps earlier-state reasoning.

This paper measures how much a model's final answer depends on its own written chain of thought, using a synthetic box-swap task with exact ground truth. It edits one step in the model's chain to a wrong but valid state and checks whether the answer follows. Across 25 open-weight models, reliance rises with size and saturates (Qwen3 from 16-18% at 0.6B to 97-100% at 14B). Reliance tracks capability (r = 0.99) and is unchanged by post-training.

FlatCake is a KV cache storage architecture for LLM serving that treats host DRAM and NVMe SSD as peer media in one 64-bit address space, instead of a DRAM-over-SSD tier. Blocks are placed once, in session-contiguous, layer-major order, and streamed via GPUDirect Storage. On a Claude Code trace with DeepSeek-V4-Flash it holds a 94% hit rate (Mooncake: 64%) and cuts peak-load mean TTFT 1.6x.

Soft Multi-Token Prediction (Soft-MTP) is a one-line change to multi-token prediction (MTP) pre-training. The authors show the MTP cross-entropy gradient splits exactly into a KL self-distillation term and a noisy residual, and a straight-through "KL gradient-recovery trick" keeps only the KL term. From 167M to 1.2B parameters it gives lower NTP perplexity, faster speculative decoding and higher zero-shot accuracy than standard MTP, with no added parameters or overhead.

Heads of Security (HoS) is a prompt injection defense that enforces instruction-data separation with learned per-head attention gates, redistributing attention between trusted and untrusted tokens. Evaluated on Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct and GPT-OSS-20B against SecAlign++ and ASIDE. The black-box RL-Hammer attack reaches 97% ASR on GPT-OSS-20B and 85% on SecAlign but 10% on HoS. The white-box Claudini attack needs 3 times more FLOPs on HoS. HoS keeps base-model utility in few-shot settings, where SecAlign and ASIDE degrade.
