Deep FinResearch Bench Tests AI Finance Skills
Deep FinResearch Bench is a new evaluation framework for deep research (DR) agents in financial investment research. It assesses qualitative rigor, quantitative forecasting/valuation accuracy, and claim credibility via automated scoring. AI reports underperform professionals, highlighting the need for finance-specialized DR agents.
COSPLAY: Co-Evolving LLM Agents for Long Tasks
COSPLAY is a co-evolution framework where an LLM decision agent retrieves skills from a learnable skill bank to guide actions, while a skill pipeline discovers and refines reusable skills from rollouts. It enhances long-horizon decision-making in games under partial observability and delayed rewards. With an 8B model, it achieves 25.1% average reward improvement over baselines on single-player games.
Copelf: Prompt-Free Browser Automation AI
Kore releases Copelf, an AI tool that generates browser operation procedures without prompts and automatically executes web tasks. It positions itself as a replacement for AI browsers, simplifying automation.
COMPASS: Adaptive LLM Prompts for Task Explanations
COMPASS introduces a self-adaptive approach to prompt engineering for LLMs, generating human-understandable explanations of task plans in complex systems. It models user cognition as a POMDP, incorporating latent states like attention and uncertainty for automated prompt refinement. Evaluations on cyber-physical systems confirm its feasibility and quality improvements.
AI Synthetic Audiences Upend Consulting
AI synthetic audiences generate digital human replicas for instant, affordable surveys, challenging consulting giants like McKinsey and Nielsen in marketing research. Startups such as Electric Twin, Artificial Societies, and Aaru, alongside firms like Dentsu and WPP, are deploying these tools. They slash timelines from months to minutes and costs from thousands to dollars, though data privacy fears persist.
AI Architecture for Military CoA Automation
This arXiv paper addresses challenges in traditional military Course of Action (CoA) planning amid expanding operational areas. It reviews public doctrines and applicable AI technologies for each CoA stage. Proposes an architecture for AI-based automated CoA generation systems.
Adaptive Test-Time Compute with Evolving Demos
This new framework jointly adapts test-time compute allocation and generation distributions for LLMs. It starts with a warm-up phase to identify easy queries and build initial Q&A pairs from the test set. The adaptive phase then focuses compute on hard queries, using evolving in-context demonstrations from semantically similar successful responses, outperforming baselines on math, coding, and reasoning benchmarks with less inference compute.
Active Data for Complex Datasets
This arXiv paper introduces Active Data, modeling data as atomic objects that actively interact with environments for intuitive reasoning over large complex datasets. It advocates a bottom-up approach over monolithic designs to tackle computational and conceptual complexity. An implementation in air traffic flow management demonstrates its viability and performance.
Huawei Invests $11.7B in Autopilot Training Compute
Huawei plans to invest up to 80 billion yuan (US$11.7 billion) over five years to enhance computing power for training and testing semi-autonomous cars. This will improve reliability of vehicles using the Qiankun ADS autopilot system. The move aims to maintain Huawei's lead in China's smart driving market and expand its customer base.
TSMC skips โฌ350M ASML High-NA tool
TSMC Co-COO Zhang Xiaoqiang stated no plans to purchase ASML's High-NA EUV lithography machines due to price over โฌ350 million per unit. The tool enables chip precision below 1.4nm, but TSMC finds it too expensive. Announcement at North America Technology Symposium.
