AI Global WireAutoData: Agentic Search for Pre-training Data Selection
arXiv:2609.19754v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents have recently shown promise in automating machine learning engineering by editing model and training code under execution feedback. Data, however, remains largely outside this agentic optimisation loop. We frame pre-training data selection as heuristic engineering over per-document features, i.e., lexical statistics, categorical labels, and perplexity. We introduce AutoData, an agent that searches directly over executable selection algorithms. Unlike prior data mixture methods that optimise weights over a fixed set of domains, AutoData searches a richer program space of scoring, stratification, and stochastic selection rules, discove

AI Global WirePosition: It is Time to Virtualize Foundation Models with a Self-evolving Operating System Layer
arXiv:2609.19203v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI applications have shifted from single, monolithic foundation models (FM) to compound agentic systems. Yet today's stacks remain fragmented: even as protocols (e.g., MCP, A2A) ease tool/agent connectivity, each framework embeds an implicit runtime for state, memory, budgets, and guardrails, making behavior non-portable and governance brittle. It mirrors computing before operating systems, when every program re-implemented basic services. This position paper argues that the field now needs a Foundation Model Operating System (FMOS) -- a system layer that virtualizes FM interactions analogous to how virtual machines abstract physical hardware,
