Negotiating Ontological Boundaries in User-Authored Personal Sensing Systems

Designed artifacts are ontological, shaping, and at times limiting, what becomes possible or imaginable. One path toward mitigating such foreclosures is giving people power over how systems are designed and built.

Introducing GLM 5.3 on Amazon Bedrock

Coding and agentic workloads are asking more of AI models than ever: refactor a repository spanning hundreds of files, sustain a multi-hour agentic workflow without losing context, and reason through complex systems problems with tool use at every step.

Language Discrimination Improves Linguistic Learning in Multilingual Speech Models

Multilingual self-supervised speech models can benefit from sharing information across languages, but under a matched total pretraining data budget they still fall short of monolingual models. We show that strengthening the model’s ability to discriminate languages during pretraining reduces and, on some measures, closes this multilingual gap on continuous phonetic and higher-level linguistic measures, while …
