Frontier Research

1. IPIGuard, a new defense mechanism, has been proposed in a recent paper to prevent AI agents from being led astray by external malicious data. By pre-planning tool dependency graphs (TDG), IPIGuard puts AI agents on a tight leash. This method locks down the action path before task execution, structurally preventing malicious behavior caused by “indirect prompt injection,” and offers A Groundbreaking Blueprint (AI News) for building safer AI systems.

2. A new study introduces the KP-PCR scheme, designed to make your code review requests (PCRs) stand out in the community. It leverages knowledge-guided prompt learning to transform the tasks of predicting request necessity and recommending labels into an elegant language model problem. This method not only makes developers’ requests more eye-catching but also significantly boosts review efficiency. Experimental results prove its performance Outperforms Existing Baseline Models (AI News) , showcasing outstanding results.

Industry Outlook & Social Impact

1. The dawn of autonomous driving commercialization is finally here! Baidu’s Apollo Go has achieved an astonishing per-vehicle profitability in Wuhan, shattering all doubts with concrete financial data. Weekly orders surged to 169,000, a 148% year-on-year increase. This is not just a victory for Baidu but a Historic Breakthrough (AI News) for the entire Robotaxi industry moving towards scaled profitability. 🚀
   
   

2. Alibaba’s Qwen3 model is successfully running on devices like cars and robots, moving AI from the cloud to the real world, boosted by Qualcomm NPUs. This achievement is thanks to the powerful SDK provided by NEXA AI, transforming cars into instant-response AI co-pilots and robots into smart workers making real-time decisions at the edge. This marks a new era where edge AI is empowering more scenarios. Click Here for Demo Video (AI News) .
