    Speeding up language models for travel applications

    Researchers combined knowledge distillation, which trains a compact student model on a large teacher's outputs, with Medusa, a framework that predicts multiple tokens in parallel, and applied the pipeline with Booking.com to three travel features. The final model matched the quality of a 70-billion-parameter teacher while running 10 to 20 times as fast, with reported gains including 2.9% higher engagement versus GPT-3.5 for AI Trip Planner and 15-times-faster Smart Filters responses for 99% of queries. The work received the Industry Track best-paper award at ACL.

    How MoEngage turned over 400 APIs into agent tools with AgentCore Gateway

    MoEngage used Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway to expose roughly 400 internal REST APIs across seven AWS Regions as permission-scoped agent tools, avoiding over 20 separate MCP servers and per-API networking. Cedar policies filter tools server-side per agent identity, managed egress over Amazon VPC Lattice keeps APIs private, and teams expose operations by annotating OpenAPI specs rather than writing MCP code. MoEngage estimates the approach saved about six months of platform engineering effort, with new API onboarding now taking hours instead of days.

    Catching Bugs Before They Land: JiTTesting’s Human-on-the-Loop Approach at Full Scale

    Meta reports that its Catching JiTTests system, which uses LLMs to generate executable tests that fail on risky code diffs before they land, is now part of its production infrastructure rather than a research prototype. The system combines intent-aware and "dodgy diff" test-generation workflows with an LLM-as-Judge ensemble and a rule-based assessor, and uses a human-on-the-loop model where engineers review outcomes at an aggregate level. Meta says 589 engineers (64% of outreach) engaged with the system, which showed a 60% true-positive rate and helped catch 74 serious privacy bugs at the diff stage in the first half of 2026, lowering privacy SEVs by 20%.

    Unlocking Tensor Core Performance for Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials

    Atomistic simulations reveal how molecules and materials behave, from chemical reactions and phase transitions to mechanical failure, but involve a cost-accuracy trade-off. Quantum-mechanical methods such as density functional theory (DFT) provide accurate energies and forces, yet their computational cost often limits their use for large systems or long simulations.

    The Rise of Agentic Attacks: What They Look Like, and Where They're Headed

    Wiz reports a growing trend of intrusions in which AI agents, run through harnesses that write custom tooling, inspect results, and iterate at machine speed, appear to handle much of the hands-on work and potentially orchestrate the attack. The post reviews public cases involving frameworks such as ARTEX and Hermes plus custom agentic workflows, and distills seven fingerprints of agentic activity, including machine-paced sustained iteration, natural-language reasoning embedded in tooling, self-correction, breadth-first TTP coverage, verbose parallel lateral movement, probe-before-payload discipline, and self-labeled disposable artifacts. It argues that attribution will get harder as tooling becomes easier to share and adapt, that attacks can scale beyond human operator limits, and that agentic attacks tend to be noisy, creating detection opportunities for defenders with the right visibility.

    Why it matters: It offers a detailed, case-grounded framework for recognizing agentic intrusions and reflects on how the trend affects attribution, attack scale, and defensive readiness.

    Why we're moving n8n's automation team beyond the service desk model

    Romina da Costa, n8n's head of internal AI and automation, argues that a centralized automation team that only builds workflows shifts the bottleneck downstream rather than fixing it, and that with over 12,000 internal workflows no team can build and maintain them all. She describes reframing the team's goal from throughput to building an automation culture, guided by four principles: build the builders, require a baseline before building, choose the tool for the problem, and make what's built resilient. She notes the team still operates like a service desk more often than she'd like, and that shifting culture requires leadership buy-in and cross-functional change.

    macOS Satellites

    Amp now offers macOS Satellites: a cloud Mac with Xcode and simulators, booted in about 30 seconds, attached to the thread's Linux orb so Amp can build, run, and test iOS or Mac apps while code stays synced on the orb. Macs start fresh with nothing saved, stay running for 20 minutes after Amp finishes so follow-ups can reuse the same Mac and build cache, and are then deleted. Pricing is $2/hour for mac.medium (6 CPUs, 14 GB) and $4/hour for mac.large (12 CPUs, 28 GB), drawn from included orb usage and then Amp credits; the feature is in beta with a waitlist in Settings → Experimental Features.

    How we rebuilt provider routing for better, faster inference

    OpenRouter announced a new default provider routing algorithm that scores endpoints on realized price, time to first token, throughput, error and rate-limit rates, and output quality rather than input token price alone. In a week-long switchback experiment over 24 million requests, the new router cut TTFT p50 by 16.9%, raised throughput p50 by 16.3%, and reduced requests hitting at least one 429 by 67%, with cost per K requests up 6.0%. Explicit sorts, provider.order, and cache-aware conversation pinning still work as before, and price-only routing remains available via provider.sort "price" or the :floor suffix.

    Why it matters: Useful for teams on OpenRouter deciding whether to keep default routing or opt back into price-only sorting, since it quantifies the speed, reliability, and cost tradeoffs.

    How Procore is powering construction analytics with OpenSharing

    Procore rebuilt its Procore Analytics product on a Databricks medallion architecture and OpenSharing, replacing a SQL Server backend that capped refreshes at one to three per day and relied on costly, brittle recursive API calls. The new design shares hundreds of curated, Unity Catalog-governed tables per customer at schema, view, table, and partition level, with Change Data Feed for incremental syncs and automated per-user, per-project entitlements. Procore says the catalog expanded to hundreds of tables in less than half the time the first generation took, and customers can now refresh on their own cadence.

    How to Prevent Prompt Injection: 13 Attacks, Tested

    The article describes testing 13 self-written and 12 model-written prompt injection attacks against four current models in a document-summarizing assistant with an email tool, finding that text-only attacks rarely worked but that one model (GLM 5.3 Flash) sent 58 of 60 attack emails without defenses. It recommends labeling untrusted content as data (cutting attack emails from 60 to 13 of 720), using a guardrail with a model allowlist and budget limit, checking every tool call with Armor (which blocked all 73 attempted attack emails at about 0.3 seconds added latency), and keeping secrets out of the prompt. Armor blocked real work in one case: a user approving a document's request without naming the address.

    Why it matters: It offers a concrete, measured comparison of layered prompt-injection defenses, including where a tool-call guardrail blocks legitimate user requests.

    How to Extract Tables from a PDF with an LLM

    The guide shows how to send a PDF to a file-reading model together with a strict JSON schema describing one row, so the model returns typed rows with cleanup such as parenthesized negatives and footnote markers handled by field descriptions. In tests over five PDFs (two scans, 644 cells), every model that read the PDF directly got all cells right, while failures came from the parser route and output token limits, including two silent failures. It recommends rejecting empty results and any response whose finish_reason is "length", and comparing routes on your own PDFs before choosing one.

    Why it matters: Offers a concrete, tested recipe with code for schema-driven PDF table extraction, plus specific guidance on silent failure modes worth knowing before building a pipeline.

  27. Replit Blog60

    ViBench 2.0: A Benchmark for Long-Horizon Software Building

    Replit releases ViBench 2.0, a long-horizon software development benchmark in which an agent builds a product from an empty project and then adds up to eighteen features on top of its own code, spanning seventeen products, 241 feature requests and 544 test plans. In Fireworks' official runs, GPT-6.1 Sol leads with a pass@1 of 65%, followed by GPT-6 Astra at 60% and Opus 5.5 at 49%, and no open-weight model passes a full build. Eight of the products are public on GitHub in the Harbor format, and results can be rerun from release v2.0.6 on the OpenHands-based harness.

    Why it matters: It offers concrete pass rates, costs and failure modes for frontier models on multi-feature product building, with a public, rerunnable harness.

    Distributed training with Ray Train DLCs and EFA on EKS

    This AWS post shows how to fine-tune Qwen2.5-1.5B with PyTorch FSDP across eight NVIDIA L4 GPUs on two EFA-enabled g6.12xlarge instances on Amazon EKS, using the published Ray Train DLC (public.ecr.aws/deep-learning-containers/ray:train-ml-cuda-v1.1) without building any image. KubeRay creates the Ray head and worker pods from one RayCluster manifest, while hardware, transport and per-job Python packages are configured from outside the image via resource requests, environment variables and Ray runtime_env. The sample repository includes idempotent deploy scripts that locate g6.12xlarge capacity, provision the cluster and node group, install the GPU and EFA device plugins and KubeRay, and submit the job from inside the head pod, with the script failing if NCCL did not use EFA.
