Comprehensive reconstruction of collider events with hypergraph representation learning and graph-conditioned diffusion

VyPER framework reconstructs collider events using hypergraph representation learning and graph-conditioned diffusion, outperforming existing reconstruction techniques across Standard Model processes.

Researchers present VyPER, a geometric learning framework that represents collider events as hypergraphs with a physics-inspired topology for particle event reconstruction. It combines supervised hyperedge classification for assigning measured jets and charged leptons to parent particles with a graph-conditioned diffusion model predicting unmeasured neutrino kinematics, optimized with a joint loss. Evaluated across several proton-proton collision processes, it demonstrates accurate reconstruction across Higgs, electroweak, and top-quark sectors.

[AINews] Jev: a “System One Model” that only decides/classifies/routes/scores — >100x faster, >200x cheaper than small frontier LLMs

TypeSafe launches Jev, an RLCD-trained decision model claiming 20-200x faster, 40-400x cheaper classification than frontier LLMs, alongside Gemini 3.8 Live and Neon.

TypeSafe's Jev is a 'System One' decision model trained with RLCD, claiming 20-200x faster and 40-400x cheaper classification and routing than frontier LLMs with free output tokens and no hallucinated text. Google launched Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, supporting 97 languages and async tool calls, debuting #1 on Artificial Analysis' speech-to-speech index at 82.6. Periodic Labs' Neon is a ~1T-parameter XRD analysis model trained with RL on proprietary lab data using 1,300 H200s, lifting FrontierXRD success from 2.7% to 55.3% and beating GPT-6 Astra at lower inference cost.

Double descent is the principle of least action

A statistical mechanics analysis explains double descent: finite-time diffusion induces effective weight decay that regularizes models as parameters grow.

The paper models stochastic gradient-based training as a particle diffusing over the training-loss energy landscape at an induced temperature, sampling parameters via a Boltzmann distribution. Finite training time carries an effective weight decay, making every parameter a quadratic degree of freedom governed by the equipartition theorem. Adding parameters at fixed training loss lowers the temperature and the L2 norm of the stationary path, increasing effective regularization and explaining the double descent phenomenon.

Nunchux AI Introduces VC-Attention: A Training-Free Low-Bit Attention Kernel That Speeds Up Video Diffusion Transformers

Nunchux AI introduces VC-Attention, a training-free low-bit attention kernel that speeds up video diffusion transformers up to 3.58x.

Nunchux AI unveiled VC-Attention, a training-free attention kernel for video Diffusion Transformers combining V-Smooth (k-means value-token grouping with block-mean residual quantization) and ExpCast-FP8 (single multiply-add softmax exponentiation). Benchmarks on Wan2.2-T2V-A14B, LongCat-Video, HunyuanVideo-1.5, and MiniMax-H3 show 1.59x attention speedup on B200 at 8-bit and 3.58x on RTX 5090 at 4-bit, with end-to-end gains up to 1.70x. It beats SageAttention2 by 2.3 dB PSNR on Wan2.2 at 8-bit and SageAttention3 by up to 3.6 dB at 4-bit. No public kernel release yet; a proprietary extension runs in Nunchux's stack.
