YuE2 · Frontier Music with Symbolic Planning
YuE2, a 3.59B-parameter music generation model, scores 6.9632 on SongBench, beating Suno v5 via symbolic planning.
YuE2 is a music generation model of roughly 3.59B parameters and 28 layers supporting song creation, covering, and agentic editing through editable ABC symbolic scores. Its best-of-8 setting reaches 6.9632 on SongBench, the highest mean among 15 evaluated settings on WildSongBench (192 prompts), ahead of Suno v5 at 6.8721. The project also introduces MERT2, whose 632M-parameter encoders achieve state of the art on 14 of 15 MARBLE metrics, and SheetSage2, which transcribes beats, downbeats, key, chords, structure, and melody with SOTA on 10 of 13 benchmark metrics.

18 ways to check whether data can be trusted for AI
ETSI published TR 104 180 defining 18 data quality metrics, including fairness and privacy, to assess whether datasets are fit for AI.
ETSI's technical report TR 104 180 defines 18 metrics across four groups - intrinsic quality, usability and lineage, fairness, and privacy - each with calculation formulas, plus an open-source tool that scores datasets. Testing on an aircraft engine sensor dataset and a US census dataset revealed a roughly threefold gender gap in high earners (about 31% of men versus 11% of women) and two privacy failures: re-identification via age, race, sex, and country, and sensitive fields stored in plaintext. The working group included Sejong University, EGM, TTA, Daejeon University, and CNIT.

CareCam CM2507
CISA advisory: seven flaws in CareCam CM2507 IP cameras enable unauthenticated live video access, privileged ONVIF control, credential recovery, and code execution.
CISA advisory ICSA-26-258-08 discloses seven vulnerabilities in CareCam HMT.CM2507 IP cameras running firmware v251211.1507. Issues include missing authentication for network video streaming (CVE-2026-88259, CVSS 3.1 7.5), an empty password on a privileged ONVIF account (CVE-2026-84398), weak legacy hashing of the root password (CVE-2026-85497, CVSS 4.0 9.3 critical), and cleartext storage of Wi-Fi credentials (CVE-2026-81321). Physical-access flaws allow arbitrary code execution from scripts on removable media (CVE-2026-81305) and unauthenticated bootloader access (CVE-2026-85478). The cameras are deployed worldwide in commercial facilities.
