PegasusAI Studio: Legible Cyberinfrastructure and Accountable AI Agents for Scientific Workflows

arXiv:2611.13309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI coding agents can now construct scientific workflows, but operating them on shared cyberinfrastructure (CI) raises problems that code generation does not solve. Agents need current knowledge of the workflow system and its execution sites and access to the runtime state of distributed executions, while facilities need to attribute every agent action to a user and bound it by that user's privileges. We present PegasusAI Studio, an AI-assisted science gateway built on the Pegasus and HTCondor stack. Studio makes CI legible to agents by projecting one facility-curated knowledge base into the native configuration of several coding agents, by introspecting workflow interfaces and execution sites, and by grounding diagnosis in workflow and scheduler telemetry. Agent actions operate within a trust envelope that combines federated authentication, per-user execution environments and scheduler credentials, provider-neutral model access, observability, and approval controls for state-changing actions. The same application runs as a JupyterHub-based gateway on a research cloud and as an Open OnDemand application on HPC systems. We evaluate Studio through case studies of legacy CASA weather workflow modernization, a gravitational-wave reanalysis, an EEG analysis built with an open-weight model, and an Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) M87 image reconstruction that recovered from two failed runs to a zero-failure execution. The evaluation establishes that these mechanisms operate as designed.

Cisco research: Trust, not technology, is now the speed limit on enterprise AI

For several years, the conversation about enterprise artificial intelligence has focused on capability: which model is smartest and which GPU is fastest. That made sense when technology was the constraint. It isn’t anymore. AI can now do far more than most organizations will allow, and the gap is trust. That’s the core finding of “Permission […] The post Cisco research: Trust, not technology, is now the speed limit on enterprise AI appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Clinically Informed Colour Encoding Improves the Localisation and Stability of Explanations in Deep Learning ECG Models: External Validation in a UK Biobank Epilepsy Cohort

arXiv:2611.09971v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective: It is not known whether the input representation governs the quality of explanations of deep learning models for electrocardiogram analysis. Risk of dangerous ventricular repolarisation is judged from the QT-interval and the shape of the T-wave, features that are hard to assess visually and harder still to verify in a model's reasoning. We evaluate a pseudo-colour encoding filling the area beneath the QT interval, its colour sequence designed from clinical electrophysiology knowledge and mapped to a validated risk prediction model, the QT-nomogram. Methods: Two identically configured residual networks were trained on single-heartbeat images from a clinical trial, differing only in whether pseudo-colour encoding was applied, so that any difference is attributable to the chromatic channel alone. To externally validate the effect, both models were applied without fine-tuning or threshold tuning to a previously unseen epilepsy cohort from the UK-Biobank at two visits, and eight explanation methods compared on faithfulness, localisation and stability. Results: The pseudo-colour model achieved areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.903 and 0.914 at the first and follow-up visits, against 0.719 and 0.720 for the monochrome model, recovering three to five times as many at-risk heartbeats at comparable specificity. Pseudo-colour encoding improved explanation localisation and stability for almost every method, and the improvement reproduced across both visits. Conclusion: The input representation is a controllable and previously overlooked determinant of both predictive performance and explanation quality. Significance: Treating interpretability as a representation-design problem offers a route towards explanations clinicians can check against known electrophysiology.

IBM builds on hybrid cloud and governance to advance its enterprise AI operating model

Enterprises are moving beyond AI pilots, putting greater emphasis on governance, production readiness and measurable business outcomes. Research from Deloitte highlights a significant gap between enterprise AI ambition and execution: 54% of organizations plan to move at least 40% of their AI initiatives into production within six months. Yet only 25% have done so today. IBM […] The post IBM builds on hybrid cloud and governance to advance its enterprise AI operating model appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Why a new report on Anthropic automating AI development is alarming researchers

Anthropic is using AI to build more powerful AI. And it appears to be working remarkably well, with the company's models improving roughly twice as quickly as a year ago, with little indication of slowing down. That's according to a new report published Thursday by the AI safety research organization METR, following an 11-week investigation […]

Kyndryl shares surge 30% on hyperscaler-related revenue growth

Shares of Kyndryl Holdings Inc. jumped 30% today after it reported better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter of its 2027 fiscal year. Kyndryl generated $3.9 billion in sales during the three months ended Sept. 30. That represents a 1.9% decrease from a year earlier, but the company still managed to top the consensus estimate by […] The post Kyndryl shares surge 30% on hyperscaler-related revenue growth appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Oracle connects AI-driven testing with a new approach to database security

Frontier AI models that uncover software flaws by the hundreds are forcing database providers into larger, faster patch cycles, and real application testing is becoming the safeguard that keeps those fixes from breaking production systems. The same AI wave is also undermining security rules written into applications. Oracle Corp. has responded on two fronts, hardening […] The post Oracle connects AI-driven testing with a new approach to database security appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

v0.44.0

ComfyUI v0.44.0 introduces multiple new partner nodes for tools like Patina, VEED, BFL, Ideogram, Pruna, MiniMax, Topaz, Sonilo, and OpenAI, adding features such as higher resolution video upscaling, context window editing, and new models. Enhancements include support for ProRes and custom chroma subsampling in video saving, improved frontend handling with pinned versions, optimized tensor comparisons, and better VAE compute dtype control. Performance optimizations address redundant concatenations and memory management, while bug fixes resolve crashes related to VAE decoding and prefetch queue cleanup. The release also updates workflow templates, embedded documentation, and default settings, with contributions from new developers.
