Glenn Hubbard has raised concerns regarding the Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cuts, highlighting risks from tariffs, uncertain economic data, and a mature credit cycle as the Fed looks ahead to 2026. Additionally, discussions around the competition between open-source AI ecosystems and closed models are gaining traction, with insights from industry leaders like Lisa Su and Sam Palmisano.

Tech giants are investing heavily in AI infrastructure, with AMD's Lisa Su and former IBM CEO Sam Palmisano highlighting a critical choice between open source and proprietary AI models that could define the future of computing. This shift reflects a broader industry trend towards more collaborative and accessible AI development frameworks.

RLTune, a new reinforcement learning-based scheduling framework, has been developed to optimize deep learning workloads on heterogeneous GPU clusters, addressing challenges posed by the increasing complexity and diversity of GPU resources. This framework enhances job prioritization and resource allocation, significantly improving GPU utilization and reducing job completion times and queueing delays.

LabelFusion has been introduced as a novel fusion ensemble for text classification, combining traditional transformer-based classifiers like RoBERTa with Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI GPT and Google Gemini. This approach aims to enhance the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of predictions across multi-class and multi-label tasks by integrating embeddings and per-class scores into a multi-layer perceptron for final predictions.

A recent study has examined the vulnerability of Large Language Model (LLM)-based scientific reviewers to indirect prompt injection, focusing on the potential to alter peer review decisions from 'Reject' to 'Accept'. This research introduces a new metric, the Weighted Adversarial Vulnerability Score (WAVS), and evaluates 15 attack strategies across 13 LLMs, including GPT-5 and DeepSeek, using a dataset of 200 scientific papers.

Elon Musk is collaborating with the government of El Salvador to introduce the Grok chatbot, developed by his artificial intelligence company xAI, to over 1 million students in more than 5,000 public schools as part of an AI-powered education initiative. This announcement was made on December 11, 2025, by xAI, highlighting a significant move towards integrating AI in education.
