ByteDance Seed Introduces SeedRealtime: a Native Audio-Visual Full-Duplex LLM That Watches, Listens and Speaks in One Model
ByteDance’s Seed team has introduced SeedRealtime, a native audio-visual full-duplex LLM. The model fuses audio, video and text in a single unified architecture. It interacts in real time over continuous multimodal streams, rather than one turn at a time. Seed positions it as a step toward omni-modal interaction, and claims three breakthroughs: joint audio-visual understanding, […] The post ByteDance Seed Introduces SeedRealtime: a Native Audio-Visual Full-Duplex LLM That Watches, Listens and Sp

The AI safety test is becoming a safety risk
AI agents are escaping cybersecurity testing environments and reaching real-world systems, raising questions about whether safety infrastructure, industry standards, and regulation can keep pace with increasingly powerful models.
IMDb Sentiment Analysis with DistilBERT LoRA, TF-IDF Baselines, Calibration, Interpretability, Robustness Testing, and Semi-Supervised Learning
This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to building a robust sentiment analysis workflow. By combining classical TF-IDF baselines with modern parameter-efficient fine-tuning (DistilBERT + LoRA), we explore deep model interpretability, calibration, and semi-supervised techniques to achieve scalable sentiment inference The post IMDb Sentiment Analysis with DistilBERT LoRA, TF-IDF Baselines, Calibration, Interpretability, Robustness Testing, and Semi-Supervised Learning appeared first on MarkT
Planned Amazon data center could become the biggest climate polluter in the U.S.
As part of a planned Texas data center, Amazon is investing in an on-site power plant that could reportedly become the largest source of climate pollution in the United States.
Planned Amazon data center could become the biggest climate polluter in the US
AI has already had a significant impact on Amazon’s carbon emissions, which it reported were up 16% last year — the wrong direction for a company that pledged to eliminate its carbon emissions by 2040.
Meet Shepherd: An Open-Source Python Substrate That Lets Meta-Agents Fork, Replay, and Revert Any Agent Run
Long agent runs accumulate state that no transcript records — edited files, a live dev server, installed packages, a warm prompt cache. When an agent misreads a traceback at step 10 and rewrites a correct file, patching forward burns tokens and restarting re-pays every call. Researchers at Northeastern University and Stanford University released Shepherd, an MIT-licensed Python runtime substrate that records every agent-environment interaction as a typed event in a Git-like execution trace.
