    Simplexity Robotics Trains One Robot to Tend Two CNC Lathes With 600 Trajectories

    Simplexity Robotics says it trained a single robot to load and unload two CNC lathes on its own, using 600 real-robot trajectories and reporting a 100% success rate on the precision CNC insertion task. The work, presented at IROS 2026 on September 29, combines the SimpleWAM world action model, a DRAM memory module and DPE action scoring, with force and torque feedback for insertion recovery. The company did not say how many trials the 100% figure covers, and it does not describe the yield of the whole cell.

    Donghua University Spins Transistors Into Fibers That Act as Soft Robot Circuits

    Donghua University researchers spun transistors, resistors and capacitors into a continuous fiber that functions as a circuit, using microfluidic encoded spinning, according to a Nature Electronics paper. The fibers integrated multicolor electroluminescence, analog and digital logic, and non-contact spatial sensing, and in demonstrations guided a robotic gripper and let a finger control a robotic arm and drone without touch.

    Chinese Team Publishes 3D Cell Atlas of Rice's Full Life Cycle in Cell

    A Chinese-led team published in Cell a three-dimensional spatiotemporal cell atlas covering rice from germinating seed to grain fill, along with a public portal and the RICE scGPT single-cell foundation model. The atlas combines single-nucleus RNA sequencing with BGI's Stereo-seq spatial transcriptomics across 10 organ and tissue types and 61 stages, defining 119 cell types and 133 subtypes.

    HERMES harness lifts GPT-5.6 Sol repository migration from 6.5% to 31.0%

    A paper introduces HERMES, a harness that pairs each repository component with a resident LLM and uses dependency-aware activation and failure diagnosis. With the same model and effort setting, GPT-5.6 Sol's whole-repository migration score rose from 6.5% to 31.0% when Codex was replaced by HERMES. Across four software engineering benchmarks, HERMES beats matched baseline harnesses by 12.4 points on average, and Qwen3-8B components come within 4.5 points of an all-GPT-5.6 Sol setup while cutting Terminal-Bench 4.0 inference cost by 26.2%.

    Google's AMIE Diagnostic Chatbot Studied Prospectively in Real Clinical Setting

    Google reports that its medical research system AMIE, described as the first patient-facing conversational diagnostic tool of its kind studied prospectively in a real-world clinical setting, was evaluated in a study published in The Lancet. Patients who chatted with AMIE before in-person appointments reported stronger confidence and better organized thoughts. Physicians reviewing the pre-visit conversation information gained more time for collaborative care and shared decision-making instead of digging through data.

    Google's FlowAgent auto-repairs failing tests inside code review

    Google proposed FlowAgent, a ReAct-style agent that generates and validates fixes for pre-submit test failures and shows them in its code review tools. Two abstention filters, before and after execution, suppress weak suggestions; in a manual review of 195 real failures, 67.18% of fixes were correct. After the Google-wide launch, it suggested fixes on 295,508 changes, with developers previewing 65,069 and applying 28,554.

    Goodfire deploys probe-based cyber monitors on Kimi K3 with a judge cascade

    Goodfire Research describes probe-based cyber monitors for Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 deployed on a production inference stack. The probe filters suspicious exchanges before an LLM judge reviews them, reaching about 93% recall at a 5.5% benign-session interruption rate at roughly 50x lower judge cost. In FAR.AI's red-teaming, the monitor reduced universal jailbreaks to zero across 140 tested strategies.

    Our approach is lossless. The same tokens visit the same experts. The architecture, routing decisions and training objective stay unchanged. The model computes the same function. By organizing where experts and tokens live we reduce the communication needed to do the same work.

    The gains depend on the training configuration, and are largest when each token uses more experts and when the experts span several nodes. Results in Megatron-LM on 8 to 64 GPUs: - Token exchange: 1.16x to 2.63x faster - Full training step: up to 1.41x faster

    Routing is also predictable across layers: the experts a token used in one layer tell us which it will likely need next. Token shuffling moves each token to the GPU holding those experts, inside a transfer that already runs after attention, so it adds no network traffic.

    So we put experts that are picked together on the same GPU, and send each token to a GPU once no matter how many of its experts live there. We call this correlated expert placement. On 8 GPUs it removes up to 58% of the token copies sent.

    MoE models route each token sparsely to just a few experts. As these models grow, the experts are spread across GPUs and nodes, and tokens have to be sent to their experts and back. In our runs that exchange took 13-24% of step time on one node and 45-60% across four nodes.

    Those routing decisions have patterns. For instance, in one layer, just 64 of 8,128 possible expert pairs accounted for 42% of tokens. If experts were picked independently, those pairs would carry 1.6%. We show how to exploit this structure to improve where experts are placed.

    vLLM-Omni technical report unifies serving for omni-modality generation

    The vLLM team released a technical report on vLLM-Omni, a unified serving runtime for omni-modality generation spanning multi-stage autoregressive pipelines, iterative diffusion, and stateful sessions. Current LLM servers and diffusion stacks each cover only one of these patterns, pushing deployments to stitch disjoint runtimes together. vLLM-Omni offers a shared control plane in which an orchestrator advances requests across stages, specialized engines handle compute, and a connector carries payloads.

    Google Research finds AI boosts patent drafting but junior lawyers' gains vanish without it

    A Google Research field experiment with 133 patent lawyers found AI tool access raised drafting scores by 0.34 to 0.38 standard deviations over three months. When the tool was removed for a redlining task, only senior lawyers kept an advantage of 0.45 SD, while junior lawyers showed no discernible improvement. The authors argue that tools which boost current output must not stop junior professionals from building the judgment that senior experts rely on.

    AIWhy it matters: The field experiment separates AI's short-term productivity gains from skill retained after the tool is removed, which matters for training junior professionals.

    NVIDIA's Olympus is a 10-wide out-of-order server core running at 3.3 GHz that prioritizes per-clock performance over high clock speeds. It uses a simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) implementation, unlike Arm's Cortex X925, and has out-of-order structures larger than X925's. In SPEC CPU2026, its branch prediction accuracy is slightly behind AMD's Zen 5 and slightly ahead of Intel's Lion Cove.
