arXiv:2603.05912v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search-augmented LLM agents can produce deep research reports (DRRs), but verifying claim-level factuality remains challenging. Existing fact-checkers are primarily designed for general-domain, factoid-style atomic claims, and there is no benchmark to test whether such verifiers transfer to DRRs. Yet building such a benchmark is itself difficult. We first show that static expert-labeled benchmarks are brittle in this setting: in a controlled study with PhD-level specialists, unassisted experts achieve only 60.8% accuracy on a hidden micro-gold set of verifiable claims. We propose Evolving Benchmarking via Audit-then-Score (AtS), where benchmark labels and rationales are explicitly revisable: when…

AI tools now generate 45 billion monthly sessions worldwide — about 56% of search engine volume, according to a study by Graphite.io CEO Ethan Smith. The analysis combines web traffic and mobile app usage across major AI tools and estimates AI activity equals 56% of global search usage and 34% in the U.S. Much of this growth is occurring in mobile apps such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Claude. Why we care. AI is expanding discovery, not shrinking search demand. Total usage across search engines and AI assistants has grown 26% globally since 2023. In other words, it’s not…

Marketers are abuzz about OpenAI putting ads inside ChatGPT. That’s the wrong thing to obsess over. It’s like arguing about banner placement while the entire commercial layer of the internet is being rebuilt underneath us. Right now, the debate is framed as a familiar binary: ads vs. no ads. OpenAI is testing sponsored results inside conversational experiences. Anthropic is positioning Claude as a trusted, ad-free assistant. Predictably, the industry response has been to ask: “Where will the ads go?” Look at what Google, Microsoft, and Meta are actually shipping, and the pattern is hard to miss: the big shift isn’t…

arXiv:2603.06545v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present LiveSense – a cross-platform that transforms a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Wi-Fi Network Interface Card (NIC) on a laptop into a centimeter-level Range-Doppler sensor while preserving simultaneous communication capability. The laptops are equipped with COTS Intel AX211 (Wi-Fi 6E) or Intel BE201 (Wi-Fi 7) NICs. LiveSense can (i) Extract fully-synchronized channel state information (CSI) at >= 40 Hz, (ii) Perform time-phase alignment and self-interference cancellation on-device, and (iii) Provide a real-time stream of range, Doppler, subcarrier magnitude/phase and annotated video frames to a Python/Qt Graphical User Interface (GUI). The demo will showcase the ability…

FAQsThese are the practical questions teams ask once they start formalizing their monitoring process. The answers below focus on clear ownership, cadence, and decision-making. What is the difference between reactive and proactive social monitoring?Reactive means you notice late and scramble. Proactive means baselines, thresholds, and owners are set, so you act with a playbook.How often should brands review social monitoring alerts and reports?Review alerts daily. Review listening weekly so pattern and sentiment shifts can shape next week’s strategy.Who should own social monitoring inside an organization?Ownership should follow the pillars: social, support, comms, and teams, each own the signals they can act…

My life is full of screens. Most of my screen time comes from the typical tech trifecta: my phone, laptop, and television. But it creeps in from elsewhere: If I want to queue up a song in my car, I do it on the infotainment system. Going somewhere? I’ll plug the address into my GPS, and if that doesn’t work, Waze and Google Maps are back up. Even things that used to require a brief in-person conversation with a human being—signing in at the doctor’s office or ordering a coffee—require tapping, swiping, and scanning.My kitchen, once a retreat from all…

arXiv:2603.06064v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Task planning, the problem of sequencing actions to reach a goal from an initial state, is a core capability requirement for autonomous robotic systems. Whether large language models (LLMs) can serve as viable planners alongside classical symbolic methods remains an open question. We present PyPDDLEngine, an open-source Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) simulation engine that exposes planning operations as LLM tool calls through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface. Rather than committing to a complete action sequence upfront, the LLM acts as an interactive search policy that selects one action at a time, observes each…

Influencer analytics isn’t nice to have anymore; it’s how you defend budgetScreenshots of likes might look good in a recap deck, but they do not survive budget season.Vanity metrics such as likes, views, and follower growth show activity. They do not show traffic quality, customer acquisition cost (CAC), return on ad spend (ROAS), lifetime value (LTV), or revenue contribution. When influencer marketing ROI is under review, those are the numbers leadership cares about.The challenge is that creator impact is harder to measure than most paid channels. The buyer journey is not linear. A creator sparks discovery, then the audience shares in…
