Grok AI generates sexualized images of minors

+++ xAI's image generation model proved remarkably creative at ignoring safeguards, prompting the company to acknowledge "lapses" rather than fundamental architecture problems. Turns out restraint requires actual engineering. +++

xAI's Grok says β€œlapses in safeguards” led it to create sexualized images of minors in response to user prompts on X; the images have been taken down

Reliable and Resilient Collective Communication Library for LLM Training and Serving

"Modern ML training and inference now span tens to tens of thousands of GPUs, where network faults can waste 10--15\% of GPU hours due to slow recovery. Common network errors and link fluctuations trigger timeouts that often terminate entire jobs, forcing expensive checkpoint rollback during training..."

πŸ”’ SECURITY

I figured out how to completely bypass Nano Banana Pro's invisible watermark with diffusion-based post processing.

"I’ve been doing AI safety research on the robustness of **digital watermarking for AI images**, focusing on **Google DeepMind’s SynthID** (as used in Nano Banana Pro). In my testing, I found that **diffusion-based post-processing can disrupt SynthID in a way that makes common detection checks fail..."

The AI Model That Learns While It Reads

"A team from Stanford, NVIDIA, and UC Berkeley just reframed long-context modeling as a continual learning problem. Instead of storing every token explicitly, their model β€” TTT-E2E β€” keeps training while it reads, compressing context into its weights. The result: full-attention performance at 128K to..."

Scaling Open-Ended Reasoning to Predict the Future

To scale up training data, we synthesize novel forecasting questions from global events reported in daily news, using a f..."

"Hi guys. I've been building FlakeStorm, an open-source testing engine that applies chaos engineering principles to AI agents. The goal is to fill a gap in current testing stacks: while we have evals for correctness (PromptFoo, RAGAS) and observability for production (LangSmith, LangFuse), we're miss..."

Modeling Language as a Sequence of Thoughts

I reverse-engineered the workflow that made Manus worth $2B and turned it into a Claude Code skill

"Meta just acquired Manus for $2 billion. I dug into how their agent actually works and open-sourced the core pattern. The problem with AI agents: after many tool calls, they lose track of goals. Context gets bloated. Errors get buried. Tasks drift. Manus's fix is stupidly simple β€” 3 markdown files..."

Adaptive Dependency-aware Prompt Optimization Framework for Multi-Step LLM Pipeline
