Approaches to Analysing Historical Newspapers Using LLMs

Approaches to Analysing Historical Newspapers Using LLMs

arXiv:2603.25051v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study presents a computational analysis of the Slovene historical newspapers \textit{Slovenec} and \textit{Slovenski narod} from the sPeriodika corpus, combining topic modelling, large language model (LLM)-based aspect-level sentiment analysis, entity-graph visualisation, and qualitative discourse analysis to examine how collective identities, political orientations, and national belonging were represented in public discourse at the turn of the twentieth century. Using BERTopic, we identify major thematic patterns and show both shared concerns and clear ideological differences between the two newspapers, reflecting their conservative-Catholic and liberal-progressive orientations. We further evaluate four instruction-following LLMs for targeted sentiment classification in OCR-degraded historical Slovene and select the Slovene-adapted GaMS3-12B-Instruct model as the most suitable for large-scale application, while also documenting imp

ARC-AGI-3: A New Challenge for Frontier Agentic Intelligence

ARC-AGI-3: A New Challenge for Frontier Agentic Intelligence

arXiv:2603.24621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce ARC-AGI-3, an interactive benchmark for studying agentic intelligence through novel, abstract, turn-based environments in which agents must explore, infer goals, build internal models of environment dynamics, and plan effective action sequences without explicit instructions. Like its predecessors ARC-AGI-1 and 2, ARC-AGI-3 focuses entirely on evaluating fluid adaptive efficiency on novel tasks, while avoiding language and external knowledge. ARC-AGI-3 environments only leverage Core Knowledge priors and are difficulty-calibrated via extensive testing with human test-takers. Our testing shows humans can solve 100% of the environments, in contrast to frontier AI systems which, as of March 2026, score below 1%. In this paper, we present the benchmark design, its efficiency-based scoring framework grounded in human action baselines, and the methodology used to construct, validate, and calibrate the environments.

Intercom's new post-trained Fin Apex 1.0 beats GPT-5.4 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 at customer service resolutions

Intercom's new post-trained Fin Apex 1.0 beats GPT-5.4 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 at customer service resolutions

Intercom is taking an unusual gamble for a legacy software company: building its own AI model. The 15-year-old massive customer service platform announced Fin Apex 1.0 on Thursday, a small, purpose-built AI model that the company claims outperforms leading frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic on the metrics that matter most for customer support. The model powers Intercom's existing Fin AI agent, which already handles over two million customer conversations weekly. According to benchmarks shared with VentureBeat, Fin Apex 1.0 achieves a 73.1% resolution rate—the percentage of customer issues fully resolved without human intervention—compared to 71.1% for both GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.5, and 69.6% for Claude Sonnet 4.6. That roughly 2 percentage point margin may sound modest, but it's wider than the typical gap between successive generations of frontier models. "If you're running large service operations at scale and you've got 10 million customers or a billion dollars in revenue,

Google's new TurboQuant algorithm speeds up AI memory 8x, cutting costs by 50% or more

Google's new TurboQuant algorithm speeds up AI memory 8x, cutting costs by 50% or more

As Large Language Models (LLMs) expand their context windows to process massive documents and intricate conversations, they encounter a brutal hardware reality known as the "Key-Value (KV) cache bottleneck." Every word a model processes must be stored as a high-dimensional vector in high-speed memory. For long-form tasks, this "digital cheat sheet" swells rapidly, devouring the graphics processing unit (GPU) video random access memory (VRAM) system used during inference, and slowing the model performance down rapidly over time. But have no fear, Google Research is here: yesterday, the unit within the search giant released its TurboQuant algorithm suite — a software-only breakthrough that provides the mathematical blueprint for extreme KV cache compression, enabling a 6x reduction on average in the amount of KV memory a given model uses, and 8x performance increase in computing attention logits, which could reduce costs for enterprises that implement it on their models by more than 50%

Google is making it easier to import another AI’s memory into Gemini

After Anthropic updated its tool for copying another AI's memory into Claude earlier this month, Google Gemini is rolling out new "Import Memory" and "Import Chat History" features on desktop that can help users quickly copy over everything their current AI already knows about them. To use the "Import Memory" tool, users copy and paste a suggested prompt from Gemini into their previous AI, then paste the output from the previous AI into Gemini, which should get Gemini caught up on their preferences. The "Import Chat History" feature has users request an export of all of their chats from their previous AI, which they upload to Gemini in th … Read the full story at The Verge.

That's according to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who says third-party chatbots downloaded from the App Store, like Google's Gemini or Anthropic's Claude, will be able to fetch replies for Siri - similar to how the voice assistant already works with OpenAI's ChatGPT. The new system, reportedly called "Extensions," will give users the ability to enable or disable the chatbots they want to connect with Siri on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Bloomberg reports.

Apple Music: "What do you want to hear?" Me: "Atmospheric instrumental black metal to write to." Apple Music: "Here's three metal songs with vocals, a field recording, an ambient electronic track, and a piece of doom jazz." I am skeptical of AI's ability to serve up the music I want to begin with, but even I was caught slightly off guard by how underwhelming Apple's new Playlist Playground beta is.
