A Coding Guide to Implement Advanced Differential Equation Solvers, Stochastic Simulations, and Neural Ordinary Differential Equations Using Diffrax and JAX

In this tutorial, we explore how to solve differential equations and build neural differential equation models using the Diffrax library. We begin by setting up a clean computational environment and installing the required scientific computing libraries such as JAX, Diffrax, Equinox, and Optax. We then demonstrate how to solve ordinary differential equations using adaptive solvers

Meet Mamba-3: A New State Space Model Frontier with 2x Smaller States and Enhanced MIMO Decoding Hardware Efficiency

The scaling of inference-time compute has become a primary driver for Large Language Model (LLM) performance, shifting architectural focus toward inference efficiency alongside model quality. While Transformer-based architectures remain the standard, their quadratic computational complexity and linear memory requirements create significant deployment bottlenecks. A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Princeton University, Together

‘Alright mate?’: Amazon pins UK hopes on AI upgrade of Alexa

Long-awaited Alexa+ aims to get Britons re-engaging with their devices – but it may have its work cut out“Commiserations, mate, Chelsea lost 3-0 in the Champions League last night against Paris Saint-Germain,” says Alexa as it attempts to break the news gently to an awaiting Blues fan. Such is the injection of personality and understanding

‘We don’t tell the car what it should do’: my ride in a self-driving taxi

Driverless ‘robotaxis’ will be accepting fares in Britain’s biggest city by the end of next year. Can they deal with London’s medieval roads, hordes of pedestrians and errant ebikers? I got in the passenger seat to find out‘I’m really excited to show you this,” says Alex Kendall, the CEO of Wayve, as he gets behind

Inside China’s robotics revolution

How close are we to the sci-fi vision of autonomous humanoid robots? I visited 11 companies in five Chinese cities to find out Chen Liang, the founder of Guchi Robotics, an automation company headquartered in Shanghai, is a tall, heavy-set man in his mid-40s with square-rimmed glasses. His everyday manner is calm and understated, but

Tsinghua and Ant Group Researchers Unveil a Five-Layer Lifecycle-Oriented Security Framework to Mitigate Autonomous LLM Agent Vulnerabilities in OpenClaw

Autonomous LLM agents like OpenClaw are shifting the paradigm from passive assistants to proactive entities capable of executing complex, long-horizon tasks through high-privilege system access. However, a security analysis research report from Tsinghua University and Ant Group reveals that OpenClaw’s ‘kernel-plugin’ architecture—anchored by a pi-coding-agent serving as the Minimal Trusted Computing Base (TCB)—is vulnerable to

Baidu Qianfan Team Releases Qianfan-OCR: A 4B-Parameter Unified Document Intelligence Model

The Baidu Qianfan Team introduced Qianfan-OCR, a 4B-parameter end-to-end model designed to unify document parsing, layout analysis, and document understanding within a single vision-language architecture. Unlike traditional multi-stage OCR pipelines that chain separate modules for layout detection and text recognition, Qianfan-OCR performs direct image-to-Markdown conversion and supports prompt-driven tasks like table extraction and document question
