Optimizing LLM Inference Costs in Multi-Agent Systems with Adaptive Model Routing

Moving from static model assignment to intelligent, task-level LLM selection. The post Optimizing LLM Inference Costs in Multi-Agent Systems with Adaptive Model Routing appeared first on Towards Data Science.

pstack explained: Lauren Tan’s system for trustworthy AI agents

Lauren Tan built pstack to turn her engineering habits into repeatable AI-agent workflows. Its biggest lesson is simple: agents become useful at scale when they can gather context, test reality, and prove their own work.

Microsoft patched 972 vulnerabilities. AI is changing Patch Tuesday

September brought a record Microsoft patch haul while the company's 100+ agent MDASH system shows how AI-assisted vulnerability hunting is moving into production security workflows.

Who Questions What Works: When Should We Retest Our Assumptions?

A model is only as reliable as the assumptions behind it The post Who Questions What Works: When Should We Retest Our Assumptions? appeared first on Towards Data Science.

An Anthropic researcher quit over self-improving AI risk

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: persistent KV cache storage drops to one-eighth

DeepSeek built a 552B-parameter multimodal model around one increasingly important problem: AI agents are expensive to keep alive. Its persistent KV-cache storage falls to roughly one-eighth of V4-Flash's under…

Everything That Happened in AI Today (Wednesday, September 9, 2026)

OpenAI's rogue agents used more undisclosed sites; an Anthropic researcher quit over extinction risk; Kepler emerged with new AI memory; Harvey raised $550M; Suno launched label-backed models.

An Anthropic researcher quit over self-improving AI risk

Jacob Coxon quit Anthropic before his equity vested and warned frontier labs are racing toward self-improving AI. Grant Harvey explains why the real risk is AGSI: artificial general superintelligence.

In-Place Instruction Following in Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2609.07160v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) generate text via bidirectional iterative denoising, naturally supporting user-specified constraints anchored at arbitrary output…

Application of curiosity driven exploration methods for hardware interference identification

arXiv:2609.08729v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The transition from single-core to multi-core architectures in safety-critical embedded systems introduces significant challenges due to inter-core interference caused by…

GeoContext: One Context Ladder, Two Failure Modes in Vision-Language Geolocation: Flat Reliance on User-Provided Location Context and False Confirmation of Location Claims

arXiv:2609.05761v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual geolocation benchmarks typically ask a model where an image was captured without accounting for the location context that users often provide. We introduce…

CausalChapter: Improving Long-Video Chaptering with Interventional Dependency Modeling

arXiv:2609.08686v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form instructional videos require automatic chaptering to support browsing, navigation, and knowledge access. Recent long-context language models can perform…

VST: Verifiable Structured Transport for Auditable Agent-to-Agent Alpha Discovery

arXiv:2609.07065v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent-to-agent (A2A) alpha discovery is slowed by repeated feedback cycles between mining and evaluation agents, whose hand-offs, in contemporary LLM multi-agent systems,…

Weakly supervised neural network: segmentation of complex structures in X-ray microCT

arXiv:2609.07313v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Segmentation of complex structures in X-ray tomographic data is a fundamental task in biomedical research, but it often requires large amounts of precisely annotated data,…

Diffusion models for eye-gaze trajectory generation using position and velocity representations

arXiv:2609.05522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Eye-tracking data are expensive to collect, requiring specialized hardware and controlled laboratory conditions, and difficult to share because of privacy constraints.…
