AI agents cut critical research time for humanitarian teams in conflict zones
Humanitarian groups working in conflict zones are finding that agentic AI can shorten the research cycle between a crisis and an informed response. Cloudera Inc. has built its AI strategy around deployment flexibility, and one nonprofit partner is testing that approach on the front lines. But the aim is to give analysts a faster starting […] The post AI agents cut critical research time for humanitarian teams in conflict zones appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Motion Picture Association runs its legal operations on a CRM built for sales
Legal operations teams are finding that software built for sales pipelines can just as easily run investigations and member communications. As AI agents take on triage work, even nontechnical teams are building those workflows themselves. That shift is playing out at the Motion Picture Association Inc., where a CRM module on monday.com Ltd.’s AI work […] The post Motion Picture Association runs its legal operations on a CRM built for sales appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

ProtoEEG: Structured Prototype Alignment for EEG Visual Decoding
arXiv:2610.33065v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: EEG visual decoding remains difficult because scalp recordings are noisy, spatially coarse, and variable across trials and subjects. Most systems align each trial with a dense image embedding, although that embedding mixes semantic content with instance-specific texture, pose, and background. This target can demand details absent from EEG and provides no explicit account of the visual factors supporting a prediction. We propose \textbf{ProtoEEG}, a prototype-mediated framework that reformulates EEG--image alignment as soft composition over a shared learnable visual codebook. A trainable EEG encoder and a frozen visual teacher produce assignment distributions over the same $K=64$ prototypes. Their weighted reconstructions form a structured rep

Release: v5.21.0
# Release v5.21.0 ## New Model additions ### MiniCPM-OCR MiniCPM-OCR is a document-understanding model from OpenBMB's MiniCPM-V family. It keeps the MiniCPM-V 4.6 architecture, which pairs a SigLIP vision encoder and a window-attention merger with a Qwen3.5 language model. It is specialized for reading text-dense images such as scanned pages, screenshots, receipts and tables. **Links:** [Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/minicpm_ocr) | [Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.18154) * Feat test (#49920) by @guarin in [#49920](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/49920) ### Flint Flint is Recursive's mixture-of-experts language model. Compared to a standard SwiGLU MoE transformer such as Qwen3-MoE, it uses hybrid attention (sliding-windo
Groundhog Day for AI agents: Prompt caching patterns for using OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock
Every time an agent takes a step, it re-reads its entire context before acting. Here is how prompt caching for OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock lets your agent remember, cutting input cost and latency without resending the same tools, instructions, and history every turn.
