    We discovered that a small, open-weight AI model — freely available online — is sufficient to power a computer worm that autonomously adapts its attack to each machine it encounters. We built and tested one in an isolated lab to understand the threat. Conducted in an isolated

    The NeurIPS Datasets & Benchmarks Track is now the Evaluations & Datasets (ED) Track. It now treats evaluation as a scientific object of study in its own right. Datasets/benchmarks still fully in scope. 👉Details: blog.neurips.cc/2026/03/23/int… We look forward to your submissions!

    CUBE unlocks massive potential for agent evals and post-training. If you build or maintain benchmarks, consider making them CUBE-compliant and help shape that potential. Congrats to @alex_lacoste_, @nicogontier, and team for pushing this and to @thealliance_ai for enabling!

    We're sitting on a gold mine of data for evaluation and post-training. Hundreds of agentic benchmarks, rich structured environments, verifiable signal. Most of it is sitting idle. Not because nobody wants it, but because the engineering to use it is brutal. 🧵

    🚀 Introducing Apriel-H1: a family of seven 15B hybrid model (Transformer + Mamba) distilled directly from Apriel-Nemotron-15B-Thinker reasoner. ✅ Navigating throughput performance tradeoff with up to 3.4x speedup ✅ 2x speedup without performance loss ✅ Efficient distillation
