5. 🛰️ MintFlow: Minimal Trajectory Intervention for Constrained Flow Matching
What the feed says: arXiv:2610.02260v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow matching models excel at generative modeling, and many downstream applications require their samples to satisfy prescribed constraints, such as observed measurements and physical laws. However, existing constrained samplers often face a trade-off: \textit{enforcing constraints can substantially displace samples from the pretrained data distribution}. To address this trade-off, we introduce \textbf{MintFlow}, a training-free constrained sampling framework that formulates constraint enforcement as a minimal intervention on the pretrained flow trajectory. MintFlow seeks the minimal perturbation of an intermediate flow state such that its subsequent evolution under the pretrained flow field satisfies the target constraint. By minimally perturbing the flow state while keeping the pretrained flow field unchanged, MintFlow enforces the constr

6. 🛰️ Fast Models, Slow Evidence: A Paired and Self-Audited Evaluation of System-1 Decision Models for LLM Agent Harnesses
What the feed says: arXiv:2610.02267v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent harnesses make many small, typed decisions per task: which model to call, which tool to use, whether retrieved text is relevant, whether an input carries an injection. System-1 decision models answer such questions in a single forward pass with class probabilities, promising large cost and latency savings over LLM calls. We present a paired evaluation of an open-weight (Laya) and a hosted (Jev) System-1 model on 11 agent decision points built from 18 public sources: 7,283 base cases plus 6,640 robustness variants, with byte-identical inputs, paired tests, and cross-hardware and cross-day reproducibility checks. Jev is significantly more accurate on 9 of 11 decision points (+10.8 to +46.0 pp). Neither model beats chance on zero-shot model routing, and they tie on RAG relevance gating. Laya changes 30% of its answers when the option ord

7. 🛰️ The AI Risk Observatory: What Can We Learn from AI Disclosures in Annual Reports About Societal Resilience?
What the feed says: arXiv:2610.02281v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Societal resilience research relies on access to useful and actionable data, which motivates our main research question: Can annual reports, processed at scale with LLMs, provide a useful signal about how companies disclose their response to AI? We test this by applying a reproducible two-stage classification pipeline to 9,821 annual reports from 1,362 UK listed companies (2020-2025, with partial 2026 data). We first validate the method against 474 human-annotated passages, finding high recall and moderate label-level agreement. We then report three empirical patterns: (i) between 2020 and 2025, the share of reports mentioning AI risk rose from 2.8% to 41.2%, while AI adoption disclosure also rose, from 13.8% to 45.2%, and named vendor mentions cluster around a small set of major providers led by Microsoft; (ii) disclosure varies substantia

🔭 WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
- Whether discovery-only headlines gain an official announcement, model card, paper, repository, or reproducible benchmark.
- Whether performance and price claims hold up under independent measurement rather than launch-day comparisons.
- Whether any announced capability becomes available to ordinary developers instead of remaining a controlled demo.
🧪 METHODOLOGY NOTE
This edition is deliberately conservative. It uses the same collected RSS evidence as the normal report, keeps source provenance visible, labels discovery-only coverage as provisional, and does not invent missing technical details. A resilient edition is preferable to a silent gap in the archive.
