A million patients with obesity are already taking Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill, CEO Mike Doustdar said Wednesday, despite the market entry of Lilly’s Foundayo. Novo’s pill had sales of 2.3 billion Danish …
Novo Nordisk buoyed by outperforming oral Wegovy in Q1
Shares in Novo Nordisk rose this morning after its highly anticipated first-quarter results revealed better-than-expected uptake of oral Wegovy.
Cannabis leads the microdosing wave, US National survey reveals
A UCSD study found that 24 million Americans have microdosed cannabis, making it twice as popular as psychedelic microdosing A new study from the University of California, San Diego, reveals that microdosing is far more prevalent in the U.S. than previously estimated. While public conversation often focuses on “magic mushrooms” or LSD, the data shows […]
Middle East Cyber Battle Field Broadens — Especially in UAE
As the war with Iran continues, breach attempts targeting the United Arab Emirates tripled in a few weeks — many targeting critical infrastructure.
Healthcare AI GYM for Medical Agents
arXiv:2605.02943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clinical reasoning demands multi-step interactions — gathering patient history, ordering tests, interpreting results, and making safe treatment decisions — yet a unified training environment provides the breadth of clinical domains and specialized tools to train generalizable medical AI agents through reinforcement learning remains elusive. We present a comprehensive empirical study […]
AutoRAGTuner: A Declarative Framework for Automatic Optimization of RAG Pipelines
arXiv:2605.02967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances LLMs, but performance is highly sensitive to complex architecture designs and hyper-parameter configurations, which currently rely on inefficient manual tuning. We present AutoRAGTuner, a declarative, configuration-driven framework that automates the RAG life cycle: construction, execution,evaluation, and optimization. AutoRAGTuner employs a modular architecture to decouple pipeline stages […]
Safety in Embodied AI: A Survey of Risks, Attacks, and Defenses
arXiv:2605.02900v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Embodied Artificial Intelligence (Embodied AI) integrates perception, cognition, planning, and interaction into agents that operate in open-world, safety-critical environments. As these systems gain autonomy and enter domains such as transportation, healthcare, and industrial or assistive robotics, ensuring their safety becomes both technically challenging and socially indispensable. Unlike digital AI systems, […]
A Fast Model Counting Algorithm for Two-Variable Logic with Counting and Modulo Counting Quantifiers
arXiv:2605.03391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Weighted first-order model counting (WFOMC) is a central task in lifted probabilistic inference: It asks for the weighted sum of all models of a first-order sentence over a finite domain. A long line of work has identified domain-liftable fragments of first-order logic, that is, syntactic classes for which WFOMC can […]
AhaRobot: A Low-Cost Open-Source Bimanual Mobile Manipulator for Embodied AI
arXiv:2503.10070v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling Vision-Language-Action models for embodied manipulation demands large volumes of diverse manipulation data, yet the high cost of commercial mobile manipulators and teleoperation interfaces that are difficult to deploy at scale remain key bottlenecks. We present AhaRobot, a low-cost, fully open-source bimanual mobile manipulator tailored for Embodied-AI. The system contributes: […]
Segmenting Human-LLM Co-authored Text via Change Point Detection
arXiv:2605.03723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rise of large language models (LLMs) has created an urgent need to distinguish between human-written and LLM-generated text to ensure authenticity and societal trust. Existing detectors typically provide a binary classification for an entire passage; however, this is insufficient for human–LLM co-authored text, where the objective is to localize […]
SparKV: Overhead-Aware KV Cache Loading for Efficient On-Device LLM Inference
arXiv:2604.21231v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Efficient inference for on-device Large Language Models (LLMs) remains challenging due to limited hardware resources and the high cost of the prefill stage, which processes the full input context to construct Key-Value (KV) caches. We present SparKV, an adaptive KV loading framework that combines cloud-based KV streaming with on-device computation. […]
Poly-EPO: Training Exploratory Reasoning Models
arXiv:2604.17654v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Exploration is a cornerstone of learning from experience: it enables agents to find solutions to complex problems, generalize to novel ones, and scale performance with test-time compute. In this paper, we present a framework for post-training language models (LMs) that explicitly encourages optimistic exploration and promotes a synergy between exploration […]
