New evidence in Libra probe renews questions about Milei involvement

New documents revealed by The New York Times show that Argentine President Milei had seven phone calls with the entrepreneur behind the Libra token, raising fresh questions about his potential involvement in the project. This evidence emerges as part of an ongoing investigation into the controversial cryptocurrency initiative.

Solana Foundation looks to beef up DeFi security as attacks continue

The Solana Foundation and Web3 security firm Asymmetric Research launched a new security initiative called STRIDE along with a real-time incident-response network. This move comes as DeFi attacks continue to plague the Solana ecosystem, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures.

Iranian missile incident raises doubts about regime fall odds, now at 13.5%: FT

Iran's recent missile capabilities demonstration has reduced market expectations for regime collapse, with odds dropping to 13.5%. The military display suggests greater regime stability than previously anticipated, potentially affecting geopolitical risk assessments.

Preserving Forgery Artifacts: AI-Generated Video Detection at Native Scale

Researchers developed a new AI-generated video detection framework using a large-scale dataset of 140K videos from 15 generators and the Qwen2.5-VL Vision Transformer. The method operates at native resolution to preserve high-frequency forgery artifacts typically lost in preprocessing, achieving superior performance in detecting synthetic media.

Justified or Just Convincing? Error Verifiability as a Dimension of LLM Quality

Researchers introduce 'error verifiability' as a new metric to measure whether AI-generated justifications help users distinguish correct from incorrect answers. The study found that common AI improvement methods don't enhance verifiability, but two new domain-specific approaches successfully improved users' ability to assess answer correctness.

Relative Density Ratio Optimization for Stable and Statistically Consistent Model Alignment

Researchers propose a new method for aligning AI language models with human preferences that addresses stability issues in existing approaches. The technique uses relative density ratio optimization to achieve both statistical consistency and training stability, showing effectiveness with Qwen 2.5 and Llama 3 models.

LOCARD: An Agentic Framework for Blockchain Forensics

Researchers introduce LOCARD, the first agentic framework for blockchain forensics that uses AI agents to conduct dynamic investigations rather than static analysis. The framework successfully traced complex cross-chain transactions in a dataset of over 151k real-world forensic records, demonstrating its effectiveness on laundering patterns from the Bybit hack.

Governance-Constrained Agentic AI: Blockchain-Enforced Human Oversight for Safety-Critical Wildfire Monitoring

Researchers propose a blockchain-based AI system for wildfire monitoring that requires mandatory human authorization before issuing alerts. The system uses smart contracts to enforce governance constraints on autonomous AI agents, combining UAV monitoring with cryptographic verification to prevent false alarms and ensure accountability.

SLaB: Sparse-Lowrank-Binary Decomposition for Efficient Large Language Models

Researchers propose SLaB, a novel framework for compressing large language models by decomposing weight matrices into sparse, low-rank, and binary components. The method achieves significant improvements over existing compression techniques, reducing perplexity by up to 36% at 50% compression rates without requiring model retraining.
