Can a Malicious AGENTS.md File Compromise Your Coding Agent? A Threat Model

AGENTS.md and .cursorrules are a write-once, compromise-many attack surface. arXiv 2607.15143 shows a deterministic pre-install check, not sharper models, stops it.

LLM Inference Without a GPU: Pure CPU vs Hybrid CPU-GPU Scheduling

ATSInfer schedules LLM tensors across CPU and integrated GPU at tensor granularity, reporting up to 3.29× decode speedup where pure-CPU inference is memory-bandwidth-bound.

When Cultural LLM Alignment Gets a Positive Target, Who Writes the Spec?

A Korean alignment paper argues LLM cultural work leans on suppression lists and needs positive specs. Whoever writes the spec owns the model's definition of a culture.

How GitHub Projects Actually Adopt Coding Agents: New Empirical Data

A July 2026 arXiv study of 25,264 agentic PRs finds most GitHub repos generate only one to two agent PRs per quarter, contradicting vendor hype about intensive adoption.

RL-Found CUDA Kernels Beat cuBLAS: Kernel Tuning Shifts to Reward Design

CUDA-L2 used reinforcement learning over 1,000 kernel configurations to beat cuBLAS by 19.2% on HGEMM, shifting the scarce kernel skill from hand-tuning to reward design.

A Digital Twin Can Validate AV Safety, but No Regulator Accepts the Evidence

A July 2026 risk-field digital twin replays rare AV hazards no road fleet can accumulate, but no regulator defines when simulated miles count as certification evidence.

62.7% of Linux Foundation Repos Still Carry Non-Inclusive Terms, and LLMs Are Learning Them

A NISCAN audit of 461 Linux Foundation repos finds non-inclusive terms down 47% since 2020, yet 62.7% still carry Tier-1 terms, and LLMs keep resurrecting the old names.

Why EU AI Act Monitoring Will Miss Discontinuous LLM Alignment Failures

Hair-Trigger Alignment shows an LLM can pass every black-box probe, then flip after one benign update, so EU AI Act periodic monitoring certifies less than it assumes.
