AI News. Without the noise.
Source-checked AI coverage of product launches, policy shifts, safety research, and industry moves, explained in plain English by a nonprofit education team.
Verified sourcing
Every story links to the strongest available evidence: original sources when available, otherwise clearly attributed reporting.
Plain English
What happened, why it matters, and what to watch — without the jargon.
No filler
When the signal is thin, we publish nothing rather than padding the feed.

SEAG Paper Proposes Aliasing Sensitive Entities Before RAG Queries Reach External LLMs
A preprint posted to arXiv describes a framework that swaps sensitive names in queries and retrieved documents for aliases before sending them to a third-party model. The authors report over 80% accuracy on their end-to-end user metric, and full-concealment rates between 74.91% and 77.83% across three small models.arxiv.orgInnovation
CABS+ Paper Reports Cheaper, Faster Model Merging Across 27 Datasets
A preprint posted to arXiv describes CABS+, a model-merging method that replaces grid search with a gradient-free coefficient search. The authors report double-digit performance gains over two baselines, under a quarter of one baseline's GPU memory, and roughly a 4x speedup over another.arxiv.orgInnovation
Paper Proposes Retrieved "Lessons" to Improve Spatial Reasoning in Frozen Vision-Language Models
An arXiv preprint describes Spatial Memory Agent, which stores verified experience as text lessons retrieved at inference time, claiming gains across five spatial benchmarks and four vision-language models without changing model weights. It is under review; its abstract names no benchmarks, base models, or margins.arxiv.orgInnovation
PROVE-RT Paper Reports 44.7% Success Generating Machine-Checked Real-Time Proofs
An arXiv preprint presents PROVE-RT, which uses retrieval and staged prompting to make large language models write PROSA/ROCQ proof scripts for real-time schedulability analysis. The authors report a 44.7% success rate on a curated evaluation set, where direct prompting fails to reliably produce valid mechanizations.arxiv.orgPolicy
Working Paper Asks Whether India's Consumer Law Can Cover AI Harms
A new arXiv working paper argues India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 is broad enough to reach AI-related harms in principle, but that proving causation and assigning blame across the AI supply chain remain unresolved. Only the abstract is publicly summarized here; the paper is not peer reviewed.arxiv.orgInnovation
Apple Paper Proposes Cheaper Machine Unlearning by Skipping Low-Influence Data
An Apple Machine Learning Research paper argues that not every data point in a deletion request needs active removal. Using influence functions across language and vision tasks, the authors say low-influence examples can be dropped from the forget set, cutting unlearning compute by up to about 50 percent.machinelearning.apple.comInnovation
AutoWorldModel-Bench Tests Whether Coding Agents Can Improve World Models
A new arXiv preprint introduces a benchmark for evaluating coding agents as open-ended world-model researchers across eight game environments, reporting improvements in 63 of 64 sessions.arxiv.orgInnovation
Distribird Paper Describes Literature-Grounded AI Agents for Bayesian Model Priors
An arXiv preprint presents Distribird, a multi-agent application that searches scientific literature, extracts reported parameter values, and constructs traceable prior distributions for Bayesian model calibration.arxiv.orgInnovation
Researchers Introduce OmniLens for Large-Scale Language Model Interpretability
A new arXiv paper describes OmniLens, a lower-cost method for examining internal signals across entire large language models and identifying where behaviors appear versus where interventions work.arxiv.org
