Google Cloud's MaxText framework now supports long-context training up to 14 million tokens on Cloud TPUs by implementing four context-parallel strategies: All-gather, A2A, P2P, and USP. Powered by the Tokamax Splash Attention kernel, these strategies effectively manage attention compute and memory bottlenecks without materializing full key-value sequences in high-bandwidth memory. Developers can adopt these capabilities in MaxText v0.2.4 to achieve…

Exact score-based causal structure learning supports explicit structural constraints and optimisation certificates, but its branch-and-cut search can be computationally demanding. We augment exact causal structure learning methods with an upper bound on the maximum clique size of the learned undirected skeleton, enforced at integer candidates through lazy cycle and clique constraints. On static linear-Gaussian Erdős-Rényi and scale-free DAGs, we evaluate callback order, alternative clique-cut policies, incumbent repair, fractional separation, and Big-M bounds. We report causal-recovery metrics jointly with optimality gaps, primal and dual bounds, node throughput, MIPSOL events, and callback cost. Two variants receive particular attention: B3 selects the most violated minimal (k+1)-clique inequality at each callback, whereas C3 repairs an infeasible integer candidate by deleting violating edges and refitting affected regression columns using QR-based least squares. The results do not indicate that clique constraints uniformly accelerate optimisation. However, their benefit depends on graph density, sample size, and cut-management policy, while large collections of correlated constraints can reduce node throughput. Tighter valid Big-M bounds reduced the fixed-budget optimality gap in most tested settings, without necessarily changing SHD or F1 at a fixed time limit. These findings characterize the computational trade-offs of clique-constrained exact causal learning, and identify selective separation and incumbent repair as promising directions.

User plane function (UPF) selection in 5G networks is an active area of research, with various limited approaches proposed to enhance network efficiency and manage resources effectively. In this paper, we address this gap in the related literature by proposing a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) UPF selection method that utilizes a dynamic, multi-objective reward function and validating it on a real-world 5G emulation platform. The proposed method is based on the large language models' (LLMs) translation of network operator intents and the network data analytics function (NWDAF) abnormality alerts. The experimental results validated in the real-world experimental setup demonstrate that our dynamic DRL solution achieves an effective balance between latency, power consumption, and traffic distribution, outperforming the heuristic baselines and fixed DRL by 16.89%. These findings highlight the real-world applicability of our approach for dynamic, intent-driven UPF selection.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are kept concise for human readability, so LLM agents that generate executable skills from them lack the tacit knowledge and implementation details needed for automation. Human intervention fills these gaps, but must be repeated as SOPs evolve---a problem we call SOP-skill drift. We propose managing SOPs and Contextual Knowledge (CK) separately, together with a contract-aware evaluation that distinguishes genuine violations from CK-resolved differences. On eight Indeed-derived workflows (single LLM), it raises the functional-equivalence rate from 12\% to 58\%. Under three SOP-revision perturbations, previously extracted CK already covers 79.5\% of newly introduced automation gaps.
Security tools raise findings across cloud environments, and AI agents now investigate and prioritize them. A finding is still resolved by people: it has to reach the people responsible for fixing it and accountable for the resource it concerns. Ownership is the organizational context that decides who that is. Where recorded, it is declared by hand in configuration management databases or owner tags and goes stale unless kept current; accounts are shared, and automation creates much of the infrastructure. The knowledge sits in work records, code history, audit logs and identity directories, encoded in each organization's own conventions. Recovering it poses four challenges: the signal is scattered across sources, none of them authoritative; the conventions that carry it differ between organizations; reaching an owner takes multi-hop links; and those related to a resource differ in the strength of their relation. We define ownership as a set of entities, people or teams, each related to the resource by one of five patterns ordered by strength. We present a reference architecture for agentic ownership attribution that derives ownership from these records instead of declaring it: it profiles an organization offline into tested signal procedures and an ownership playbook, then attributes each resource with a coordinator agent and parallel investigators, with confidence computed by rules. On 100 resources of 50 Amazon Web Services (AWS) resource types in one organization, we pool the architecture's candidates with those of an unprimed general-purpose agent and verify every evidence piece against the records. The architecture reaches 92.1% weighted recall and 86.6% weighted precision, against 54.8% and 77.4%, at 0.55 times the agent's cost per unit of coverage. The difference lies in people who build and change resources without an explicit owner, found through work records and code history.
Longitudinal evidence about the psychological impact of conversational AI use remains scarce. We report a survey study of 114 adults who reported their level of problematic AI use one year after reporting their motivations (for escape, social, entertainment, and instrumental reasons) for engaging with AI. We found high levels of AI motivation of all types predicted later problematic AI use, especially when participants turned to AI for managing their feelings and overcoming difficulties. Our findings imply that AI motivation could be used as an early warning signal of potential problematic use, especially if individuals engage with AI for emotional purposes over time.

Uncertainty quantification is crucial in scientific machine learning, where models inform safety-critical tasks such as flood forecasting, financial risk management, and thermal control in machines. Conformal prediction provides distribution-free coverage guarantees, but in time-dependent settings common to physics and engineering, these guarantees can break down, leading to systematic undercoverage. We study this problem in the context of surrogate models for time-dependent physical systems described by partial differential equations. We prove that in a function space setting, distributions at arbitrarily close times can be mutually singular, making exact coverage guarantees impossible. We further show that in discretized settings, the total variation distance between distributions often saturates exponentially fast with the grid resolution, mandating restrictions on the spatial discretization to ensure coverage. Finally, for certain settings, we show how to use principled weighted conformal prediction to obtain finite-sample coverage guarantees over growing time horizons.

Intent-based networking (IBN) promises QoS provisioning in which the network derives the configuration from operator-stated goals. Its first step, translating a natural-language intent into enforceable service-level objectives (SLOs) grounded in a live snapshot of the network state, increasingly relies on large language models (LLMs). These large models add cost and energy to the management loop and typically require multi-GPU, cloud-hosted infrastructure. Can lightweight open LLMs take over this step dependably? We answer this question with a five-dimensional evaluation of ten LLMs with <10B parameters from five families, under four prompting setups, on 716 placement intents. We evaluate translation performance, intent validation, hallucination, energy impact, and robustness to diverse phrasing. The best configurations translate intents with a strict F1 of 0.943 and reject up to 191 of 195 invalid intents. With few-shot reasoning, the strongest models hallucinate unsupported QoS requirements in only about one response in a hundred, whereas the zero-shot setup struggles. A translated intent costs 0.044-0.148 Wh of GPU energy without reasoning, and added energy cost for reasoning pays off for the weaker models. Furthermore, we show that realistic rephrasing lowers the rejection of invalid intents in 15 of 16 configurations for the best-performing models, leaving robust intent validation as a key open challenge for reliable IBN.
