Constrained Markov decision processes (CMDPs) provide a principled model for handling constraints, such as safety and other auxiliary objectives, in reinforcement learning. The common approach of using additive-cost constraints and dual variables often hinders off-policy scalability. We propose a Control as Inference formulation based on stochastic decision horizons, where constraint violations attenuate reward contributions and shorten the effective planning horizon via state-action-dependent continuation. This yields survival-weighted objectives that remain replay-compatible for off-policy actor-critic learning. We propose two violation […]

arXiv:2501.06148v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of training neural stochastic differential equations, or diffusion models, to sample from a Boltzmann distribution without access to target samples. Existing methods for training such models enforce time-reversal of the generative and noising processes, using either differentiable simulation or off-policy reinforcement learning (RL). We prove equivalences between families of objectives in the limit of infinitesimal discretization steps, linking entropic RL methods (GFlowNets) with continuous-time objects (partial differential equations and […]

Introduction to the 2026 AI Arms Race Welcome to the AI arms race of 2026 — and what a race it has become! Three years ago, ChatGPT was a novelty. Today, four AI titans are locked in a war for your attention, your workflow, your trust, and ultimately your subscription dollars. Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, and xAI Grok have each staked out their territory, sharpened their claws, and are sprinting toward a finish line that keeps […]

Big Tech will spend over $600 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026 — a 36% jump from last year. The vast majority of that capital is flowing toward one thing: GPUs. For investors who already understand hardware-based yield and decentralized infrastructure, this represents a familiar opportunity in an unfamiliar market. The GPU Shortage Isn’t Hype. It’s Structural. Graphics processing units were originally designed to render video game graphics. Today, they are the computational backbone of artificial intelligence. Every […]

Neural operators have emerged as powerful surrogates for the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs), yet their ability to handle general, highly variable boundary conditions (BCs) remains limited. Existing approaches often fail when the solution operator exhibits strong sensitivity to boundary forcings. We propose a general framework for conditioning neural operators on complex non-homogeneous BCs through function extensions. Our key idea is to map boundary data to latent pseudo-extensions defined over the entire spatial domain, enabling any standard […]

Teilhard describes the Universal Element—a mysterious reality binding all existence to the Absolute. Through what he calls “cosmic consciousness,” minds perceive unity beneath multiplicity, glimpsing a precious fabric woven through creation. Rejecting both pantheism and mere naturalism, he identifies this element as Christ, the cosmic center who unifies without absorbing, drawing all things toward convergence while preserving their distinct personalities in the growing body of the Pleroma.

arXiv:2602.17838v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As developers increasingly rely on LLM-generated code summaries for documentation, testing, and review, it is important to study whether these summaries accurately reflect what the program actually does. LLMs often produce confident descriptions of what the code looks like it should do (intent), while missing subtle edge cases or logic changes that define what it actually does (behavior). We present a mutation-based evaluation methodology that directly tests whether a summary truly matches the […]

Hey everyone, I’m curious to hear if its possible to break into and do RL research/personal projects in robotics or related areas on a Mac M1 device? Aside from typical gym projects and stuff I suppose. I know there is the genesis engine so would that be the only option or are there other possibilities? Appreciate your thoughts. submitted by /u/Sad-Throat-2384 [link] [comments]
