PaTH Attention boosts large language model positional reasoning
Researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson Artificial Intelligence Lab have introduced PaTH Attention, a new positional encoding method that makes transformers more context-aware and better at tracking state over long sequences. The technique adapts position information based on token content and can be combined with forgetting mechanisms to improve long-context reasoning and efficiency.
Windows 11 adds consent checks for artificial intelligence agents accessing personal files
Microsoft is introducing a consent framework in Windows 11 that requires artificial intelligence agents to request explicit permission before accessing key personal folders, with controls applied individually to each assistant. Users will be able to decide how and when agents can reach files or system features, or block them entirely.
