The development of 0.1^{circ} global weather forecasting models based on machine learning (ML) is constrained by the limited availability of high-resolution data, as decades of reanalysis are only available at 0.25^{circ} resolution. While existing approaches fine-tune 0.25^{circ} forecast models on limited 0.1^{circ} samples, we show that this transfer is hindered by the irreversible information
Benchmark datasets are central to evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs), yet they are typically conceived as monolithic tasks, obscuring substantial variation in the demands of individual samples. We introduce a dataset-centric meta-evaluation framework that audits benchmark datasets at the sample level along five latent dimensions: 1. Cognitive and Knowledge Demands, 2. Language and Content Qua
Computer-use AI agents struggle with multi-step workflows like email and customer support. Echoverse trains agents in realistic environments rather than simply providing more training tasks, helping them improve as the tasks, tests, and environments evolve.

Merge conflicts are a recurring cost of collaborative software development, and the traditional structured and semi-structured merge tools that address them frequently abstain: when their heuristics do not apply, they leave the conflict unresolved. Large language models (LLMs) can instead produce a candidate resolution for almost any conflict, but measuring whether those resolutions are actually g

A new Gradium TTS model is available today in public beta. It keeps improving on the current production model, handling the complex cases natively, phone numbers, email addresses, IBAN numbers, time expressions and more, with no pre-processing or text normalization on your side. Anyone can test it through the API, and everyone who sends us feedback during the beta receives 1M Gradium credits.
