**Top Story** The recent breakthrough in AI-generated content has surpassed human capabilities in writing stories, but with an unexpected twist: readers preferred the AI-generated stories when they believed they were written by a human. This development has significant implications for AI developers, as it highlights the importance of understanding human perception and bias in AI-generated content. The study, which used AI to generate stories that were then evaluated by human readers, found that the readers' perception of the story's authorship greatly influenced their opinion of the story's quality. This finding has important implications for the development of AI-generated content, as it suggests that the perceived authorship of the content can greatly impact its reception. Furthermore, this study highlights the need for AI developers to consider the social and psychological factors that influence human perception of AI-generated content. As AI-generated content becomes increasingly prevalent, understanding these factors will be crucial for developing AI systems that can effectively communicate with humans. SOURCES: [3] **AI Models & Research** The study on "When LLM Agents Negotiate: Private Information and Dynamic Bargaining in Supply Chains" provides valuable insights into the negotiation dynamics of large language model (LLM) agents in supply chain bargaining problems. This research is significant for developers, as it highlights the potential benefits and challenges of using LLM agents in autonomous procurement. The study found that LLM agents can create value and divide it predictably, but may also lead to money-losing contracts if not properly designed. Another notable research is the "Knowing-Saying Gap: When Probes See Errors that Confidence Misses", which investigates the limitations of linear probes in detecting errors in language models. This study is important for developers, as it highlights the need for more reliable failure prediction methods in language models. Additionally, the "Towards an Argumentative Foundation for Evaluative AI" proposes a new framework for evaluative AI, which presents competing hypotheses together with evidence for and against each. This framework has the potential to support human decision-making by providing a more nuanced and balanced evaluation of options. SOURCES: [2], [5], [6] **Developer Tools & Frameworks** The "NL2SHACL-Bench: A Benchmark Suite for Natural Language to SHACL Translation" provides a valuable resource for developers working on natural language processing and knowledge graph validation. This benchmark suite enables developers to evaluate and compare different natural language to SHACL translation approaches, which is essential for developing more accurate and efficient systems. The "Training Variable Long Sequences with Data-Centric Parallel" proposes a new approach for training deep learning models on variable long sequences, which addresses the significant computational challenges associated with existing methods. This approach has the potential to improve the efficiency and ease-of-use of training deep learning models. Furthermore, the "Dynamic Coalition Formation and Communication Pricing in Skill-Based Agentic AI Systems" presents a new architecture for combining multiple large language model agents with heterogeneous skills, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of communication in AI systems. SOURCES: [4], [7], [9] **Industry & Business** A recent article reported on the growing interest in AI-generated content, with many companies investing in AI-powered content creation tools. This trend is expected to continue, with the global AI market projected to reach $190 billion by 2025. The article highlights the potential benefits of AI-generated content, including increased efficiency and reduced costs, but also notes the challenges associated with ensuring the quality and accuracy of AI-generated content. Another article discussed the importance of evaluating AI systems, with a focus on the need for more nuanced and balanced evaluation frameworks. The article proposes a new framework for evaluative AI, which presents competing hypotheses together with evidence for and against each. This framework has the potential to support human decision-making by providing a more comprehensive and balanced evaluation of options. SOURCES: [3], [6] **Worth Watching** The "Flow-by-Flow: Content-Judgment Bypass for Governing AI Output in High-Loss Domains" proposes a new approach for governing AI output in high-loss domains, which addresses the limitations of human-in-the-loop oversight. This approach has the potential to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of AI systems in high-loss domains. The "Emotion in an active inference model of human driving" presents a new framework for modeling human driving behavior, which incorporates emotion and uncertainty reduction. This framework has the potential to improve our understanding of human driving behavior and develop more effective AI-powered driving systems. Additionally, the "An AI Scientist that Doesn't Drift: Taste, Structure, and Falsifiable Findings in a Quadruped Navigation Research Loop" proposes a new approach for autonomous research loops, which addresses the limitations of existing approaches that tend to drift toward local refinements of whichever metric they optimize.

The Knowing-Saying Gap: When Probes See Errors that Confidence Misses

Linear probes detect corrupted context in language models with near-perfect accuracy, yet this does not translate into reliable failure prediction. The result is a dissociation with direct implications for deployment monitoring.

Dynamic Coalition Formation and Communication Pricing in Skill-Based Agentic AI Systems

Modern agentic AI systems combine multiple large language model agents with heterogeneous skills, yet most architectures either fix communication in advance or allow full broadcast. Both can be inefficient because token cost, latency, redundancy, and error propagation increase with the number of active agents and communication links.

When LLM Agents Negotiate: Private Information and Dynamic Bargaining in Supply Chains

As LLM agents move from decision support to autonomous procurement, firms need to know whether delegated negotiators create value, divide it predictably, and avoid money-losing contracts. We study this in a canonical supply chain bargaining problem: a buyer with private demand information negotiates a quantity-payment contract with an uninformed seller. We benchmark nine LLMs from OpenAI, Google, and Alibaba against a validated Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium across 9,840 LLM-to-LLM negotiations.

Towards an Argumentative Foundation for Evaluative AI

Evaluative AI (EAI) has been recently proposed as a way to support human decision-making, not by producing a single recommendation, but by presenting competing hypotheses together with evidence for and against each.

Training Variable Long Sequences with Data-Centric Parallel

Training deep learning models on variable long sequences poses significant computational challenges. Existing methods force a difficult trade-off between efficiency and ease-of-use. Simple approaches use static configurations that cause workload imbalance low efficiency, while complex methods introduces significant complexity and code change for new models. To break this trade-off, we introduce Data-Centric Parallel (DCP). Its core principle is to let the data itself drive the runtime.

Emotion in an active inference model of human driving

Active inference has emerged as a principled framework for modeling adaptive behavior by balancing goal-directed action with uncertainty reduction. It has been successfully applied across biological and artificial systems, including recent work on human driving. However, existing active inference models of driving have yet to address an important determinant of behavior in traffic: affective state, which significantly influences decision-making.

NL2SHACL-Bench: A Benchmark Suite for Natural Language to SHACL Translation

SHACL is a core technology for validating the conformance of RDF knowledge graphs (KGs). Yet, authoring SHACL shapes requires technical expertise that most domain experts lack. Translating natural language requirements into SHACL (NL2SHACL) would lower this barrier. However, there is no dedicated benchmark for NL2SHACL, and evaluating generated shapes requires methods beyond string comparison, as semantically equivalent shapes can differ in serialisation and structure.

An AI Scientist that Doesn't Drift: Taste, Structure, and Falsifiable Findings in a Quadruped Navigation Research Loop

Autonomous research loops driven by large language models can run machine-learning experiments at scale but tend to drift toward local refinements of whichever metric they optimise rather than testing the hypotheses that motivate the experiments. We address this structurally and present an AI Scientist for studying generalisation in quadruped robot navigation policies in simulation.

Flow-by-Flow:Content-Judgment Bypass for Governing AI Output in High-Loss Domains

Prior work showed that human-in-the-loop oversight becomes structurally untenable in high-loss domains when AI output velocity V exceeds human cognitive capacity C_max. The operative constraint, however, is not V alone but V x L, where L denotes per-item cognitive load. L consists of triage, judgment, and response, which respond asymmetrically to AI capability improvement.
