  • Anthropic's Frontier Red Team ran Gemma4-26B-A4B distributed across 15 off-brand Android TV boxes (~$55 each) at about 0.39 tokens per second.
  • GLM-5.2 was the only open-weight model to achieve reliable full end-to-end replication, spreading to all 8 contained nodes in 4 of 5 trials.
  • Authors William Zhou and Daniel Freeman write that if small models improve at historical rates, they will match this replication capability by end of 2026.

Marking the Wrong Symptoms: Evaluating LLM Watermarks in Medical Texts arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • ETH Zurich researchers benchmarked 5 watermarking schemes across 11 LLMs and 7 vision-language models on clinical reasoning tasks.
  • On Phi-4-14B with distortionary SynthID, the rate of correct answers backed by flawed reasoning jumps from 11.4% to 26.3%.
  • Fabricated medical entities rise up to +39.2 percentage points, while watermarking only the final answer is 'essentially free.'
