MarkTechPost tutorial walks through NVIDIA's cuDNN Frontend graph API, covering kernel fusion, autotuning, plan reuse, and CUDA graph capture on Colab GPUs.

The tutorial explains how to express GPU computations as operation graphs via the cuDNN Frontend graph API, running the five-step build pipeline of validate, build operation graph, create execution plans, check support, and build plans. It progresses from a single fused convolution with bias and ReLU to autotuning across engine configs, FP8-style epilogues, attention, plan serialization, dynamic shapes, and CUDA graph capture. Each kernel is benchmarked against a PyTorch reference on a single Colab GPU to verify correctness and measure cost. The piece also covers practical setup issues like making libcudnn.so visible to the frontend's dynamic loader.

ZDI-26-681: Linux Kernel FUSE Subsystem Race Condition Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

ZDI discloses CVE-2026-64265, a CVSS 7.8 race condition in the Linux Kernel FUSE subsystem enabling local privilege escalation.

ZDI-26-681 covers a race condition in the Linux Kernel FUSE subsystem that allows local attackers to escalate privileges. Exploitation requires the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system. ZDI assigned a CVSS rating of 7.8 and CVE-2026-64265.

Verifiable Social Reasoning for LLM Assistants

Fuse, a multi-agent simulation with hidden motives, evaluates LLM social reasoning, revealing compounding difficulty from user mediation and bias sensitivity.

Fuse is a multi-agent simulation framework in which a target agent with a hidden motive interacts with other agents including one representing the user, who consults the evaluated assistant to infer the motive, providing verifiable ground truth by construction. Simulation faithfulness is validated through a human study with 24k annotations. Applied to 12 LLMs, it shows user mediation compounds social reasoning difficulty, models are systematically sensitive to biased user framing, models may need more details than humans, and longer conversations do not always improve performance. The framework and a 21k-example dataset are open-sourced.

SlipSense: Multimodal Tactile Learning for Low-Latency and Generalized Slip Detection

SlipSense fuses a 32x32 piezoresistive array and MEMS accelerometer to detect robotic grip slips within 23.1 ms, generalizing zero-shot across platforms.

SlipSense is a multimodal tactile slip-detection framework built on TacV5, a sensor combining a 32x32 piezoresistive array at 240 Hz and a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer at 8 kHz. It performs modality-specific encoding, intra-sensor fusion, and cross-modal attention with causal temporal prediction at 240 Hz. On a 1.4-million-frame dataset spanning 37 objects it achieves 96.7% Macro F1 with a false-positive rate below 1.6%, detecting 76% of slip events within 23.1 ms. Trained solely on UMI data, it transfers zero-shot to a Tesollo dexterous hand across unseen objects, sensor units, and platforms.

Kaininja: Extending Native 3D Generators to the Part Level

KaiNinja extends TRELLIS.2 native 3D generation to part-level assets via a dual-volume O-Voxel representation, cutting whole-object Chamfer distance by 40%.

KaiNinja extends the TRELLIS.2 native 3D generator to produce part-level assets instead of one fused mesh, enabling downstream editing, rigging, and simulation. A dual-volume form of the O-Voxel representation solves the problem that a single volume cannot represent interfaces where two parts touch. The model needs no segmentation network, is partly trained on LLM-agent-authored part data, lowers whole-object Chamfer distance by 40%, and raises strict part F-score by 16% versus other part-generation pipelines.

12 Best CIEM Tools Compared (2026): Features & Pricing

Buyer's guide compares twelve CIEM tools; Microsoft discontinued Entra Permissions Management, while Tenable (Ermetic), CyberArk, and Wiz lead the 2026 scorecard.

The scorecard evaluates twelve cloud infrastructure entitlement management vendors on permission analytics depth, JIT enforcement, non-human identity coverage, pricing predictability, and bundle leverage. Tenable (Ermetic) leads at 4.70, followed by CyberArk and Wiz, while Microsoft's retirement of Entra Permissions Management (CloudKnox) forces existing customers into migration cycles. Pricing structures span per-identity, per-resource, per-workload, credit-based, and quote-based models.

JustFit: 200K-Token LLM Serving on a 24 GiB Laptop with Just-in-Time State Management

JustFit MLX runtime serves 200K-token contexts for Qwen3.8-27B on a 24 GiB MacBook via just-in-time state management.

JustFit is an MLX-based inference runtime combining KVExec for compressed KV execution, PhaseSwap for component residency, and StateTrans for state-preserving serving transitions, independent of weight quantization. On a 24 GiB M4 Pro MacBook running Qwen3.8-27B MXFP4, it completed 196,608 input and 16,384 output tokens, raising single-request context from the mlx-vlm baseline's 30,720 positions to 212,992 (6.93x). Performance tests show 19.11 tokens/s on a 32K-input probe with a 16,374 MiB median peak footprint, and the runtime answered 29 of 30 AIME 2026 problems correctly.

2026 comparison of twelve enterprise browsers ranks Island and Palo Alto Talon as purpose-built leaders, with Chrome Enterprise and Edge free or bundled.

Guide compares twelve enterprise browser options across three models: purpose-built secure browsers (Island, Talon, Surf), layered controls on existing browsers (Chrome Enterprise, Edge for Business, LayerX, Seraphic), and streamed/isolated browsers (Kasm). Island and Palo Alto's Prisma Access Browser lead the purpose-built category for BYOD and contractor DLP. It also notes Mammoth Cyber has ceased operations.

The Router Within: Eliciting Native Skill Routing from a Frozen LLM

Gavel reads skill-routing signals from a frozen LLM's forward passes with two linear maps, beating retrieval pipelines by up to 21.9 points.

Gavel (Glance And Verdict) shows a frozen agent LLM already contains skill-routing signals in its forward passes, read out via two trained linear maps without loading skill text into context. A glance step scores the full library using mid-layer states and per-skill banks built in one forward pass; a verdict step fuses the model's own likelihood and yes/no judgment as a product of experts. Trained once, it transfers zero-shot to three public benchmarks and SkillTraj (372 simulated agent trajectories); on Qwen3-32B it beats progressive disclosure and retrieve-and-rerank pipelines adding 1.2B-16B external parameters by up to 13.4 points (21.9 mid-rollout).
