Estimating worst case frontier risks of open weight LLMs
OpenAI researchers study worst-case frontier risks of releasing open-weight LLMs through malicious fine-tuning (MFT) in biology and cybersecurity domains, finding that open-weight models underperform frontier closed-weight models and don't substantially advance harmful capabilities.
Opportunities and Challenges of Large Language Models for Low-Resource Languages in Humanities Research
This paper systematically evaluates the applications of large language models in low-resource language research, analyzing opportunities and challenges across linguistic variation, historical documentation, cultural expressions, and literary analysis. The study emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and customized model development to preserve linguistic and cultural heritage while addressing issues of data accessibility, model adaptability, and cultural sensitivity.
Are Large Language Models Suitable for Graph Computation? Progress and Prospects
This survey reviews the use of large language models for graph computation, categorizing them into two paradigms: LLMs as executors and LLMs as planners. It finds LLMs promising for simple tasks but unreliable for large-scale exact computations, and suggests future directions.
