Audio-visual interaction is the standard for patient-physician consultations, enabling natural communication and effective assessment of illness through non-verbal cues. While text-based AI has shown promise, it discards essential perceptual dimensions and limits patients who cannot articulate symptoms in writing. Early efforts to extend medical AI to audio-visual interaction have demonstrated fea

We present timing and spectral analysis of the recently identified ultracompact double-degenerate (DD) white dwarf binary eRASSU J060839.5$-$704014 using observations from NICER and Einstein Probe (EP), together with archival XMM-Newton data. By phase-connecting the long-term XMM-Newton, NICER, and EP observations, we obtain a coherent quadratic timing solution, yielding an orbital period of 374.1

Modern LLM agents are often improved by modifying prompts, tools, or workflows manually, while the executable scaffold surrounding the model---the harness---is typically treated as a fixed artifact after deployment. This work studies an alternative where the harness is task-specific and continuously evolvable: each task family maintains its own harness, which is hot-swapped across iterations throu
Semantic vision encoders have become a central visual interface for multimodal understanding and semantic conditioning in image generation. However, their final tokens discard fine-grained visual details, leading to poor pixel reconstruction and limiting their use in reconstruction-sensitive tasks such as image generation and editing. In this work, we ask whether understanding, generation, and edi

This paper presents a fully digital Programmable Ramp Generator (PRG) for reconfigurable frequency-ramp synthesizers used in Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave radar, spread-spectrum clock generation, and test and measurement applications. A novel modular architecture is proposed, integrating a phase-accumulator-based frequency sweep generator and Delta-Sigma Modulator (DSM) that drives a Multi-M
Strongly lensed gravitational waves (GWs) are powerful probes of substructure in the lens. Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are postulated to be efficient lenses that may distort the lensed waveforms of currently detectable stellar-mass compact binaries, as hinted by GW231123. Assuming that IMBHs are located in globular clusters (GCs), we compute the rate at which they would affect strongly l

OpenAI is sharing preliminary cybersecurity evaluations for Astra and the steps we’re taking to strengthen safeguards and security controls.
Discover how HSP GRUPPE uses ChatGPT Enterprise to boost productivity, improve work quality, and create more capacity for tax advisory and client service.
Audio-language models (ALMs) are increasingly used as judges for speech-to-speech systems, but a judge that receives audio may not actually use paralinguistic evidence. We introduce counterfactual audits for paralinguistic response evaluation. Each audit item holds the transcript fixed while varying affect, prosody, or the timing of an affective shift, forcing a valid judge to track the audio cue
What an agent does and how it expresses itself are two different things. Today, we’re launching Voice Personas so you can design both.

Audio-visual understanding remains challenging because models must jointly interpret spoken content, visual events, and their temporal relationships. Existing omni models typically introduce dedicated audio encoders and rely on expensive audio-video-text training, tightly coupling omni capability to specific VLM backbones and potentially weakening their existing visual and reasoning abilities. Thi
