Google Research has unveiled a groundbreaking method for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) that slashes the amount of required training data by up to 10,000x, while maintaining or even improving model quality. This approach centers on active learning and focusing expert labeling efforts on the most informative examples—the “boundary cases” where model uncertainty peaks. The Traditional Bottleneck Fine-tuning LLMs for tasks demanding deep contextual and cultural understanding—like ad content safety or moderation—has typically required massive, high-quality labeled datasets. Most data is benign, meaning that for policy violation detection, only a small fraction of examples matter,…

“Unfortunately, because of the natural language nature of prompt injections, blocking them using classifiers or any kind of blacklisting isn’t enough,” they said in their report. “There are just too many ways to write them, hiding them behind benign topics, using different phrasings, tones, languages, etc. Just like we don’t consider malware fixed because another sample made it into a deny list, the same is true for prompt injection.” Hijacking Cursor coding assistant via Jira tickets As part of the same research effort, Zenity also investigated Cursor, one of the most popular AI-assisted code editors and IDEs. Cursor can integrate…

Nigel Farage’s uncompromising assault on Britain’s climate commitments is facing pushback from within his own party’s expanding support base, with polling revealing that younger Reform UK voters are markedly more sympathetic to net zero and renewable energy than their leader. The former Ukip and Brexit Party chief has dismissed the UK’s 2050 net zero target as “complete and utter madness”, while his deputy, Richard Tice – also Reform’s energy spokesperson – has branded the renewables industry a “massive con”. Their manifesto pitch includes scrapping the legal net zero goal, ending subsidies for green power, taxing renewable developers and even levying…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure El Salvador has passed a new Investment Banking Law allowing private investment banks to hold $BTC and other digital assets on their balance sheets.

The Bitcoin price has been enjoying some form of resurgence over the past week, returning above the significant $115,000 level again. The premier cryptocurrency briefly crossed the $117,000 mark on Friday, August 8, capitalizing on recent bullish developments in the United States.

Why 118,000 Might Be Crucial For Bull Run Resumption In a recent post on the…

When I ask the new Truth Social AI chatbot about navigating bias in the media ecosystem, it gives what I view as pretty reasonable advice.“Diversify your sources,” it responds. “Rely on news outlets across the political spectrum, including those from both left-leaning and right-leaning perspectives.”This is advice that the AI itself may not be taking to heart. For instance, to come to the above answer it cites five sources, four of which are Fox News articles. The fifth, inexplicably, is a 400-page report from US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s Health and Human Services Department titled “Treatment for Pediatric…
