Long agent traces composed of chains of thought and tool calls accumulate stale content that anchor subsequent generations, and eventually outgrow the context window. Existing scaffolds mitigate it with fixed-interval compaction triggered at a token threshold. Such triggers pay no heed to trajectory structure, risking discard of partial results mid-derivation or mid-search. We propose SELFCOMPACT,…
The increasing demand for GPU-accelerated machine learning inference has exposed limitations in centralized GPU infrastructures, including high cost, limited elasticity, and long wait times under resource constraints. At the same time, modern Apple Silicon–based macOS devices are equipped with powerful GPUs that remain largely idle during normal usage. This paper presents Minions, a dynamic and…

French prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into a cyberattack that drove supermarket refrigerators and freezers to 50°C overnight, spoiling food and triggering fires at stores run by five of the country’s best-known retail chains. The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed on October 12, 2026 that it is probing a “large-scale cyberattack affecting the refrigerators of…
Every major AI image generator claims it can produce a photo nobody can tell from a real camera shot. In practice, most of them still hand you waxy skin, six-fingered hands, or a background that bends like a funhouse mirror. As of October 2026, three models sit at the top of the human-preference leaderboards for…
