Companies now pay for four or five AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and more) but can't answer the basics: what are we spending, who's using it, and which seats sit idle? DepthData connects every AI tool into one audit ready view of spend and adoption. What makes it different: every number is labeled by how it's verified, we never read prompts, and we show exactly what each vendor's API can and can't expose. The trusted system of record for your company's AI spend.
The person on your next video call might not be real. With Halo you don't have to guess. Halo secures your Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet call live and flags synthetic faces the moment it detects one, entirely on your device. Deepfake video calls are already being used to scam people and businesses around the world, it's just that most people have no way to tell. From confirming who you're hiring to confirming who you're wiring money to, Halo catches it before it costs you.
Screencap records how work actually happens: screen, clicks, keystrokes, window context and teams can use it to turn real workflows into structured datasets for automation and AI training. Consent and privacy are enforced while recording so most sensitive apps are blocked before anything is written, and every trace is scrubbed and reviewed before it leaves a machine. macOS, open source. Try it solo with a free trial, or talk to us about a team pilot.

A report examining three actual cybersecurity incidents used as case studies in AI safety and security evaluations. The analysis provides real-world context for assessing how AI systems perform under security threats.
Parent-order execution is a core problem in algorithmic trading, where the goal is to split a large order into smaller orders while reducing execution costs. Existing approaches either rely on pre-specified market assumptions that may not hold in practice, or require task-specific training that limits adaptability to new settings. To overcome these limitations, we present the first systematic study of large language models (LLMs) for parent-order execution. This extends the use of LLMs in financ...
Retrieving past experiences has become a common strategy to enhance large language model agents. However, most existing memory-augmented agents treat retrieved experiences as static records to be replayed verbatim, injecting them into the context regardless of whether they align with the agent's current situation. This ``replay'' paradigm ignores the gap between the abstract, general nature of stored experience and the concrete, ever-changing states encountered at decision time, frequently causi...
Embodied intelligence faces a fundamental data bottleneck. Models must capture how first-person perception, whole-body motion, dexterous manipulation, object state, sound, and touch evolve together as humans pursue goals over time. Existing datasets fragment this experience across viewpoints, modalities, or spatial scales, leaving the full perception-action loop only partially observed. We introduce the Ambient Capture Engine (ACE), a human-centric data engine that transforms real home environme...
Large language model training in open-ended domains lacks verifiable rewards, making task preferences difficult to formalize as effective supervision. Contexts can convey such preferences, yet provide little additional supervision once distilled into the student, motivating contexts that evolve with student performance. However, directly using evolving contexts as in-training supervision results in an unstable distillation target and conflicting distributions, requiring mechanisms to stabilize t...
We present ShadowDancer, a novel approach to any-action, frame-level control of interactive video world models. The obstacle is representational: existing interfaces either encode an action loosely, leaving how it unfolds for the model to improvise, or encode it exactly through structured signals that serve one family and are hard to acquire, so precise control across diverse dynamics remains impractical. Demonstration videos are the natural remedy, specifying any dynamics frame by frame; yet a ...
Computer-use agents learn from what their actions change, so training one needs applications it can act on, break and reset. The applications that matter most are login-gated and stateful, so synthetic environments stand in for them. Recent pipelines generate such environments in bulk, which moves the bottleneck from how many exist to what is inside each one. The returns, we find, come from three properties: how much behavioural depth an environment carries, whether it targets the interaction an...
Existing video captioning models generate natural descriptions of video content but cannot explicitly ground local visual elements to multiple reference images. We introduce multi-reference image-grounded video captioning, a new task requiring factual video descriptions with phrase-level reference grounding, and propose RefCaptioner, a two-stage post-training framework for this task. RefCaptioner combines mixed-data SFT with Hierarchical Coverage-Discounted GRPO to jointly improve reference sele...
The fundamental goal of agentic visual reasoning is to improve the success rate of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on complex tasks, rather than merely equipping them with a sophisticated yet inefficient reasoning paradigm. In this work, we rethink agentic visual reasoning through two key dimensions of tool use: Mode Adaptiveness (MA) and Tool Effect (TE). Mode Adaptiveness characterizes whether an MLLM can recognize when tools are truly necessary and invoke them accordingly, thereby av...
Reinforcement learning (RL) search agents commonly model retrieval as free-form natural-language query generation and optimize multi-turn interactions using final-answer rewards. Current studies mainly improve training with denser or more structured credit signals, but rarely examine whether retrieval is properly formulated at the policy-environment interface. We observe pronounced retrieval aliasing during Search-R1 training: rollouts for the same question continue to generate distinct query st...
Sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) language models route each token to multiple experts, suggesting a geometric account of their benefit: co-selected experts should contribute distinct representation directions. Existing evidence often conflates route coherence, candidate quality, and candidate-by-context interaction. We distinguish these quantities using an Expert Subspace Separation Index (ESSI), matched-route residuals, and a prefix-controlled 2times2 factorial; frozen-route interventions and a ...
Role-playing agents (RPAs) have become one of the most important consumer applications of large language models. Users engage in multi-turn conversations with RPAs for experiences such as emotional comfort, making reliable evaluation essential for measuring capability, comparing systems, and guiding further improvement. Existing benchmarks, however, typically require an RPA to continue a fixed dialogue history and then evaluate the continuation using a fixed rubric detached from the user. We ide...
This work presents Fairness Pruning, a lightweight structural intervention method designed for the management and future mitigation of demographic bias in large language models (LLMs). As a foundational empirical validation of this method, this work focuses on causal bias localization. Using minimally contrastive prompt pairs and inference-time activation capture, the method identifies neurons that react differentially when processing demographic attributes in GLU architectures, evaluating the s...
Decoder-only language models entangle long-term memory and reasoning in a single parameter set, making it difficult to scale memory capacity independently. Memory Decoder introduces a parametric long-term memory module but only studies it at a relatively small scale. In this work, we present Memory Decoder at Scale, scaling memory models up to 6.9B parameters and pretraining them on 300B tokens. At this data scale, the combined cost of indexing and search makes a standard Faiss pipeline infeasib...
Recursive self-improvement (RSI) requires AI systems that improve the process of building AI (i.e., AI4AI); machine learning engineering (MLE) offers a concrete, executable testbed for studying this capability. We introduce OpenMLE, an open full-stack system for RSI research in MLE, spanning verifiable task environments with execution feedback (OpenMLE-Gym), operator learning (OpenMLE-RL), and long-horizon search (OpenMLE-Evo). On this stack we post-train Frontis-MA1 (35B) as a meta-evolution ag...
