FlowMimic: Mask-free Visual Editing and Generation with Pixel-pair Warped Flow Field for Online Video Editing Data Generation and Modality Mimicry
In line with the prevailing direction of vision research, we explore the integration of both generation and editing capabilities for video and image modalities within a single model. Current approaches to collecting video editing data typically depend on labour-intensive, time-consuming curated procedures--involving object mask annotation, the use of error-introducing pair synthesis via I2V model and ControlNet-like guidance, and VLM-based quality filtering or refinement--and demonstrate limited

Agentic ERP: Multi-Agent Large Language Model Architecture for Autonomous Enterprise Resource Planning
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems record transactions reliably but still delegate almost all operational decision-making to human specialists, because classical rule-based automation cannot reason about exceptions and monolithic AI assistants degrade when asked to coordinate across functional boundaries. This paper presents Agentic ERP, an expert-system architecture that combines role-aligned large-language-model (LLM) agents with a risk-tiered human-in-the-loop harness and a graph-base

El salario de los junior lleva años en caída libre. Un nuevo estudio sugiere que el impacto de la IA no es tan obvio
Llevamos un par de años viendo titulares sobre el destrozo que la IA está haciendo en el empleo junior . Y la réplica habitual: que no, que es excusa, que las empresas recortan cuando suben los tipos y la IA solo es una justificación cómoda. Las dos lecturas tienen su parte de razón. Ese es justo el problema. El estudio . El Stanford Digital Economy Lab ha estado analizando nóminas reales. No encuestas ni estimaciones: nóminas.

LLM-Powered Agentic AI for 5G/6G Networks: A Tutorial and Survey on Architectures, Protocols, and Standardization
Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI), enabled by Large Language Models, marks a shift from rule-based automation toward autonomous, goal-driven control of Next-Generation Networks (NGNs). Existing surveys treat the two domains in isolation, leaving protocol integration, evaluation, and standardization alignment underexplored. To address this gap, a two-part tutorial-and-survey is presented. Part I formalises the control, management, and AI-native planes of 5G and 6G. It then covers the foundatio

RTL-Sequencer: Towards Scalable RTL Timing Prediction with the Sequence-based Paradigm
Accurate timing prediction at the register-transfer level (RTL) is a longstanding challenge in design automation. Existing graph-based methods struggle with limited receptive fields, high complexity, and a lack of signal directionality. We present RTL-Sequencer, a novel sequence-based paradigm that enables scalable RTL timing prediction via linearizing logic cones by breadth-first traversal and applying modern linear sequence models. Furthermore, sequence models are customized by four synergisti
