TriPLU: Bypassing the Gate with Direct Trilinear Product FFNs in Tiny Language Models
arXiv:2608.20360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study whether tiny decoder-only language models benefit from feed-forward layers that directly multiply learned feature projections. TriPLU, a Trilinear Product Linear Unit, replaces the usual gated FFN branch with a product-only
ExpertIVS: Sociological Expert Driven Individual Value Simulation in Large Language Models

Who Do Language Models Think Is Competent? A Mechanistic Analysis of Occupational Bias
arXiv:2608.20347v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models (LMs) often pass behavioral bias evaluations, but it remains unclear whether they no longer represent the underlying associations that give rise to biases, or have merely learned not to express them. In this study, w

Multilingual Verifier Bias in RLVR: Benchmark, Rollout Diagnosis, and the Cross-Lingual Selection Bottleneck
arXiv:2608.20362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is a standard recipe for training large language models on mathematical reasoning, where an answer verifier serves as a language-neutral reward function. We show that this assump
Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s ‘The Beloved’ Gets North American Deal With Kino Lorber; Javier Bardem To Be Campaigned For Best Actor
EXCLUSIVE: Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s Cannes Competition drama The Beloved has secured a North American release with Kino Lorber. The Spanish-language film stars Oscar winner Javier Bardem opposite recent Pedro Almodóvar collaborator Victoria Luengo in performances that drew widespread
Woody Allen To Start Shooting Next Project In Spain In October
Woody Allen will begin production on his next feature project in Spain in October, we’ve had it confirmed by sources close to the project. We were told last year that the film would have a budget of around $14M and be largely English-language and feature a high-profile cast. Deta
What It Takes to Be an Adaptable Engineer
The AI boom has disrupted the way engineers work, introducing new tools to learn, raising expectations for what teams can achieve in a workday, and making it harder to get hired in the first place. This makes it difficult to advise students on which specific coding languages or t

Kids outlearn AI—and we still don’t know why
People have been talking to each other for at least 100,000 years, as best we can tell. And in all that time, there has been only one thing in the world that could learn a human language to perfect fluency: a human child. Now there are two. Four short years after the release of C
