The article argues that as AI makes implementation cheaper, the quality of specifications becomes the primary determinant of software quality. It introduces a framework built around Specs, Skills, Workflows, and Proof, showing how structured engineering artifacts help AI agents produce safer, more reliable, and more maintainable software while redefining the role of senior engineers.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been shown to substantially improve the reasoning capability of small and large language models (LLMs), but existing approaches typically rely on verifiable rewards, hence ground truth labels. We propose an RL framework that uses rewards from an LLM that acts as a judge evaluating model outputs over large amounts of unlabeled data, enabling label-free knowledge distillation and replacing the need of ground truth supervision. Notably, the judge operates with a single-token output, making reward […]

The ubiquity of machine learning (ML) and the demand for ever-larger models bring an increase in energy consumption and environmental impact. However, little is known about the energy scaling laws in ML, and existing research focuses on training cost — ignoring the larger cost of inference. Furthermore, tools for measuring the energy consumption of ML do not provide actionable feedback. To address these gaps, we developed Energy Consumption Optimiser (ECOpt): a hyperparameter tuner that optimises for energy efficiency […]

arXiv:2601.22276v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models are increasingly used in real-world creative workflows, a principled framework for valuing contributors who provide a collection of data is essential for fair compensation and sustainable data marketplaces. While the Shapley value offers a theoretically grounded approach to attribution, it faces a dual computational bottleneck: (i) the prohibitive cost of exhaustive model retraining for each sampled subset of players (i.e., data contributors) and (ii) the combinatorial number of […]

arXiv:2602.20273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been reported to linearly encode truthfulness, yet recent work questions this finding’s generality. We reconcile these views with the truthfulness spectrum hypothesis: the representational space contains directions ranging from broadly domain-general to narrowly domain-specific. To test this hypothesis, we systematically evaluate probe generalization across five truth types (definitional, empirical, logical, fictional, and ethical), sycophantic and expectation-inverted lying, and existing honesty benchmarks. Linear probes generalize well across most domains […]
