CRAFT Enables Explainable AI for 6G RAN Networks
CRAFT is a data-centric method that generates verified (input, trace, label) datasets to fine-tune Small Language Models (SLMs) for pre-hoc explainability in AI-native 6G RAN. It overcomes the cold-start barrier of RL methods, achieving high accuracy and F1 scores with significantly less energy consumption.
Safin-1 Enhances AI Safety via Memory-Native State Evolution.
Safin-1 is a new family of foundation models that achieves "Safety from Within" by integrating safety-relevant capabilities through memory routing and state evolution, allowing for test-time adaptation of persistent capability states without modifying the backbone. This reframes memory as an active substrate for evolving model behavior.
Foundation Models' Role in Electricity Price Forecasting Examined.
This study compares nine foundation models against market-specific benchmarks for electricity price forecasting and battery arbitrage, finding that while TabPFN models statistically outperform, their economic dominance is not universal and depends on risk tolerance and bidding strategies. Foundation models cannot fully replace specialized models.
