arXiv:2609.13612v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern AI systems are built on the Transformer architecture, whose core operation, attention, accounts for the majority of computation and memory cost. Researchers continually propose new attention variants to improve quality, efficiency, or context length, but each variant currently requires expert-written GPU code to run at usable speeds. PyTorch's recent flex\_attention lets researchers describe custom attention patterns in Python and compile th

arXiv:2609.13640v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Encoder-based time series foundation models (TSFMs) typically rely on deep stacks of independently parameterized Transformer layers, where only the final forecast is supervised and intermediate representations have no explicit predictive role. We introduce FlowTSFM, an encoder architecture that interprets depth as a recurrent transport process: a single Transformer block is iteratively applied with shared parameters, while a quantile-flow objective

arXiv:2609.13642v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We argue that a recurring failure in the evaluation of deployed AI systems occurs when data collected for operational monitoring or regulatory compliance are interpreted as if they were designed for comparative evaluation. Automated driving provides a concrete example of this problem. U.S. disengagement and crash-reporting regimes produce valuable operational evidence, but differences in reporting scope, exposure, deployment domain, event capture,

arXiv:2609.13655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On evolving graphs, node classifiers must satisfy two key requirements: inductive generalization to newly arriving nodes under distribution shift and calibrated uncertainty for safety-sensitive applications. Standard graph neural networks (GNNs) are typically trained once and address neither requirement. We adapt the Bayesian last-layer (BLL) model by placing random last-layer parameters on top of a deterministic GNN encoder for uncertainty quantif

Australia Taxation Office sees footling with Copilot as a way to develop ‘muscles’ for real AI work

I kept hearing "just buy a Mac and run models locally, it pays for itself" and wanted to check. Sunk Cost takes a machine, a model and how many tokens you use a day, and works out how long the hardware takes to pay back against renting the same model by the token. Obviously there are other reasons to buy your own hardware aside from just saving money on llms but this is just looking at it from a raw cost saving perspective. If you have any ideas on how I can make this more helpful lmk! Comments
