Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into clinical workflows, stressing the need for reliable traceability of model-generated output with watermarking. Yet, most watermarks are evaluated on general-purpose benchmarks, leaving domains like medicine, where small token-level perturbations can result in significant semantic changes, underexplored. In this work, we present the first rigorous study of how LLM watermarks affect medical performance, benchmarking 5 watermarking schemes across 11 LLMs and 7 VLMs on various tasks spanning unimodal and multimodal clinical reasoning. Importantly, we complement existing evaluations by introducing a human-expert-validated pipeline for systematically auditing medical reasoning quality, terminological precision, and induced hallucinations. Our results reveal that watermarking can induce substantial degradation across multiple failure modes, including lexical corruption, hallucinated terminology, and amplified misattribution or omission of image findings. Notably, we find that the absence of domain-specific analyses, combined with aggregate metrics that miss failures inherent to clinical text, can systematically obscure practical watermark-induced degradations. Our findings establish domain-specific evaluation as a prerequisite for the safe deployment of watermarked models in medicine, where current benchmarks can otherwise mask clinically consequential failures.

Abstract: This paper presents an AI-driven browser extension that identifies clickbait to help users avoid misleading Internet articles. Moving beyond traditional detection, the application employs a hybrid machine learning architecture that combines transformer-based embeddings with linguistically motivated features and a custom “baitness” score. After evaluating various natural language processing techniques — from classic vectorizers to large language model (LLM) embeddings — an XGBoost-based model was developed that achieves an F1-score of 91% on the open combined dataset. Most importantly, the tool can warn users before and after they access a clickbait article. After opening an article, the user receives a percentage score indicating the likelihood that it is clickbait. The prediction is explained based on the analyzed metrics, including those specifically developed within the proposed system. The browser extension also provides a clickbait spoiler — a one- to two-sentence summary of the entire article.

Abstract: When a language model gives different answers on repeated runs, does that variation reveal what it does not know? Self-consistency turns the variation into a per-question uncertainty estimate via majority voting. But does the same variation reveal cross-question structure — related questions flipping together, the way a diverse ensemble does? We compare two regimes on the same questions: one model run $100$ times at $tau=1$ versus an ensemble of $24$ LLMs run once each at $tau=0$. A Marchenko–Pastur random-matrix test separates signal from sampling noise on both sides. Within any single model, at most one dimension rises above noise across five families and three benchmarks (MMLU, HellaSwag, GSM8K). Across the ensemble, four eigenvalues clear the noise edge, while a matched-difficulty Bernoulli null produces at most one in $500$ Monte Carlo draws. Self-consistency gives accurate per-question uncertainty but no detectable cross-question structure; only a diverse ensemble surfaces what a model does not know.

Abstract: Rigorous benchmarks have driven progress in autonomous GPU kernel performance optimization by establishing a shared target to hillclimb on, but no equivalent exists for TPUs. We present JAXBench, a TPU-native benchmark suite for AI-generated kernel optimization on Google Cloud TPUs. JAXBench comprises 50 JAX workloads that are both relevant and provide headroom for optimization. We extract 17 production ML operators from architectures in the public MaxText library such as Llama-3.1, DeepSeek-V3, Mixtral, Mamba-2, and AlphaFold2, and translate 33 operators from KernelBench that are validated for correctness and set with new problem sizes that achieve high TPU v6e MXU utilization. Eight of the 17 production operators ship with hand-optimized Pallas kernels from the public Tokamax library and block-size tuned to establish an expert upper-bound baseline. We evaluate four feedback-driven methods on generating candidate Pallas kernels for JAXBench. Across the full suite with Gemini 3 Flash, we find that target-specific context matters more than model scale on a sparsely-documented DSL like Pallas. Conditioning on curated TPU documentation raises per-sample correctness from 5.8% to 37.3% and solves 48 of 50 benchmarks at a 1.28x geomean speedup. Search structure yields significant gains once correctness is achieved, with Autocomp’s beam-search pipeline reaching a 1.36x geomean speedup over XLA. On the 8 hand-tuned kernels, Autocomp reaches 1.60x geomean over XLA, recovering most of the 2.08x Tokamax upper bound but trailing on the specialized paged and ragged attention operators. High-quality TPU kernel optimization remains a challenging task, and we release the JAXBench benchmark, evaluation harness, and baseline results to support open source contributions.
