The ALeRCE astronomical database introduces a text-to-SQL system using large language models, enabling natural language queries to generate executable SQL. The system, evaluated on 110 NL/SQL pairs, uses a step-by-step framework that outperforms direct-inference baselines, with Claude Opus 4.6 achieving high precision on simple queries and among the best overall performance across evaluated models.
ALeRCE Launches Text-to-SQL System with LLMs
Zero-Shot Agentic LLMs Extract Lung Pathology from Narratives
A zero-shot agentic workflow using open-source LLMs extracts 13 College of American Pathologists synoptic fields from lung resection pathology reports. The best model (GPT-OSS-20B) achieved a Micro-F1 of 0.893, outperforming baseline recall and accurately capturing complex pathologic relations without task-specific training.
Fingerprinting agent behavior through procedural trajectories
We introduce a method to identify agents by their procedural behavior fingerprints, achieving 85.7% accuracy in attributing unseen trajectories to correct agents. Using ProcGrep, we analyze coding agent behavior in SWE-Bench, finding that models from similar release periods or distilled from each other exhibit closer behavioral similarity, with a Jensen-Shannon divergence of 0.25.
ChronicleBio uses AI to cure POTS; Mind Lab tests Macaron-V1 continual learning
ChronicleBio, founded by former OpenAI exec Fidji Simo, is using AI and 153 terabytes of blood data to cure Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Meanwhile, Mind Lab's Macaron-V1 model surpasses GLM-5.2 in benchmarks by dynamically switching between five LoRA expert modules for continual learning.
Thinking Machines releases Inkling; Anthropic prepares IPO; OpenAI trains GPT-Red
Thinking Machines has released Inkling, a 975B-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 41B active parameters and multimodal reasoning. Simultaneously, Anthropic is preparing for a potential IPO later this year following a $65 billion funding round at a $965 billion valuation. OpenAI has also trained GPT-Red to iteratively generate adversarial prompts, which reduced failures on a prompt-injection benchmark by sixfold for GPT-5.6 Sol.
sqlite-utils 4.0rc2 fixes transaction handling bugs found by Claude Fable
Simon Willison used the coding agent Claude Fable to finalize sqlite-utils 4.0, resulting in release candidate 2 which addresses critical transaction handling issues identified during review.
