Frontier Research

1. OpenAI has unveiled its FrontierScience benchmark. This benchmark is specifically built to evaluate expert-level scientific capabilities, packed with hundreds of original questions across physics, chemistry, and biology. GPT-5.2 scored 77% in the Olympiad track and 🔬 25% in the research track, outperforming other cutting-edge models in both. Gemini 3 Pro showed similar performance (AI News) to GPT-5.2 in the Olympiad track.

2. The FreeKV framework is boosting LLM inference efficiency! This framework achieves algorithm-system collaborative optimization to tackle long-context KV caching issues. By using speculative retrieval and dual-buffered streaming recall, it hits 🚀 near-lossless accuracy and can speed things up by up to 13 times (AI News) compared to SOTA methods.

3. Titans is giving AI a real memory! This paper, praised by Google's Jeff Dean, solves AI's "goldfish memory" problem. It uses three distinct mechanisms—short-term, long-term, and persistent memory—each doing its job. In super-long text comprehension tasks involving 2 million tokens, it achieves over 96% accuracy, totally crushing Mamba2's 5.4% (AI News).

Industry Outlook & Social Impact

1. Yao Shunyu has been appointed Tencent's Chief AI Scientist! It's official! Tencent is upgrading its large model R&D architecture, with post-95 star scholar Yao Shunyu taking on the role of Chief AI Scientist in the "CEO/President's Office," reporting directly to Martin Lau. He'll also be heading up the AI Infra Department and the Large Language Model Department, set to 📈 fully strengthen Tencent's large model R&D system (AI News).

2. Nvidia has acquired SchedMD, the developer of Slurm. This low-key move is being hailed as "widening their moat" 💪. Slurm, developed by SchedMD, is the resource scheduling tool used by over half of the world's TOP500 supercomputers, with giants like Meta, Mistral, and Thinking Machines relying on it. Even if you're rocking AMD chips, if you need computing power scheduling, you simply can't bypass Nvidia (AI News).

3. AI context management is sparking privacy debates. Would you trust uploading all your life notes to a third-party server? Community discussions show that while 🔥 feeding Obsidian notes to Claude can net you personalized advice, most folks are leaning towards controllable solutions (AI News) like local LLMs. Others are even warning that relying too much on AI summaries might erode true knowledge acquisition.

4. GitHub Actions is starting to charge platform fees! Starting in 2026, scheduling for private repositories and self-hosted runners will be billed at $0.002 per minute 💸. Yep, even if your computing power is on your own servers, you'll be paying a "tax." Smaller teams are feeling the pinch more, and the community is already weighing up alternative solutions like GitLab or Forgejo (AI News).

5. Can AI push formal verification into the mainstream? The hot topic here is that specifications themselves are tough to formalize, and requirements are always shifting. Optimists point out that big models like Opus and GPT-5.2 🤖 have significantly sped up proof engineering. But the pessimists reckon cultural and economic barriers are the true obstacles to popularization (AI News).
