@smolix @boson_ai @lmsysorg Congrats on the release

[Alex Smola @smolix]

Good voice agents need speech that sounds human, keeps up with a real conversation, and works in your language, on affordable hardware. Today @boson_ai and the @lmsysorg SGLang team release Higgs Audio v3, an open 4B text-to-speech model that hits all three.

If you missed out on contributing to Global PIQA and want to get involved, we will be announcing a new project soon. Fill in this form to be the first to hear about it: https://t.co/qFVGm0lwt2

[David Ifeoluwa Adelani 🇳🇬 @davlanade]

Updated GlobalPIQA, now covers 141 languages, great participatory research work at global scale.

Paper: https://t.co/BrNT5QyOZL

Thank you to all the contributors especially @tylerachang and @linguist_cat for leading this.

Another shared task is coming this year.

[Multilingual Representation Workshop @ EMNLP 2026 @mrl_workshop]

We are releasing an expanded version of Global PIQA! It now covers 141 language varieties and includes parallel and non-parallel splits. We are also releasing an updated preprint.

[Tiago Pimentel @tpimentelms]

Fresh on arXiv! 😁 Our new paper reformulates tokenisation as a linear program (LP), which we solve to get SOTA tokenisers! As a bonus, this LP allows us to know how close to optimal any tokeniser is! Check it out! 👇

[Tatsunori Hashimoto @tatsu_hashimoto]

Some new results I found surprising that I’m tweeting for Chris (who isnt on here). With enough compute, the best data filter for LMs (on DCLM) might be no filter. Why? Large models can tolerate a surprising amount of nominally 'low quality' data, and can sometimes even benefit.

🤖 AI text detectors are widely deployed in education and integrity workflows, but what are they actually tracking?

We report a surprising finding: text from base models is overwhelmingly judged as human by GPTZero and Pangram. 👇 (1/6)
