Semi Edge Inference Idea [D]
The escalating cost of AI inference is a critical challenge. A compelling approach, as proposed by /u/komorra, involves strategically distributing model inference across both server and edge computing—client devices—to potentially alleviate datacenter processing burdens and shift costs. The concept of splitting proprietary models, with portions residing on clients and others on secure servers, offers a future-focused solution. This architecture, potentially realized through specialized client and server models communicating via standardized protocols, echoes initiatives like Cloudflare's recent introduction of Cloudflare Computer, exploring similar agent environments.
New ransomware targets AI model weights and can't even collect the ransom
A new ransomware strain, ENCFORGE, is specifically targeting AI model weights, marking a concerning evolution in cyberattacks. Unlike generic ransomware, ENCFORGE actively seeks out and encrypts crucial AI assets like PyTorch checkpoints and Hugging Face weights, recognizing their irreplaceable value. Exploiting a known vulnerability (CVE-2025-3248) in Langflow, the attacker demonstrated the ability to rapidly compromise systems and exfiltrate credentials, ultimately prioritizing data destruction over ransom demands.
New Fable5/Opus4.8 harness called "Schema" claims 99% on ARC-3 [R]
Introducing Schema, a new Fable5/Opus4.8 harness achieving impressive results on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark. Schema attains 99% accuracy with Claude Opus 4.8 and 95.35% with GPT-5.6 Sol—all without modifying model weights. This innovative harness refines the interaction process, optimizing how observations inform models, predictions are tested, and plans are executed. A fixed fallback rule prioritizes Opus 4.8 and Sol, ensuring robust performance across all games, as noted by ARC Prize.
