MAS-DecStream introduces LLM-MR-CNP, an LLM-assisted extension of the Contract Net Protocol for decentralized stream-processing scheduling across mobile edge-cloud systems. On Alibaba ASI Trace-derived workloads, it reduced latency violations to 3%, prevented resource overcommitment, and improved utility by up to 22% over a rule-based multi-round baseline.

An arXiv study finds that asking some LLMs to reason in Japanese substantially reduces recommendations to launch unnecessary or contested nuclear strikes. The effect appears driven by the reasoning language rather than the prompt language, while five other models showed little or no language sensitivity.

Researchers introduce IntegrityBench, a benchmark for evaluating how LLMs classify misconduct, reason about ethical actions, and make artifact-grounded decisions under institutional pressure. Across 18 frontier model variants, models failed about one in three integrity-critical decisions under peak pressure, revealing risks of both enabling misconduct and over-refusing legitimate work.
