The Gradient published an article exploring neural algorithmic reasoning, that is, using deep neural networks to capture the computations of classical algorithms such as shortest paths and sorting. The article points out that MIT's "What Can Neural Networks Reason About?" demonstrates that the better the algorithmic alignment, the better the generalization; GNNs are naturally aligned with dynamic programming and outperform architectures with weaker inductive biases on DP execution benchmarks. The author also cautions that algorithmic alignment does not mean one can arbitrarily apply any highly expressive GNN, and out-of-distribution performance remains a key challenge.

Replit has launched Replit Deployments, a complete rebuild of its app hosting infrastructure that separates development environments from production environments, with apps now always-on by default and no longer going to sleep. The new offering provides dedicated VM resources, custom domains or .replit.app subdomains, log viewing, and redeployment from mobile; small projects start at $0.20 per Repl per day, with options up to 4 dedicated CPU cores and 16 GiB of memory. This release no longer supports local filesystem persistence, Repl Auth will be added in the coming weeks, and the legacy Replit Hosting is entering maintenance mode.

A research team at North Carolina State University in the United States has published a new self-resetting soft ring jumping robot in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It requires no manual resetting or complex control system, relying solely on the "physical intelligence" of liquid crystal elastomer materials and a ring structure, and jumps continuously more than 1,000 times under constant infrared illumination, with a maximum vertical jump height of up to 80 times its own height. The robot can also be adapted for "jump—swim—jump again" amphibious locomotion, and is expected in the future to be used for sensing and monitoring in complex environments such as grasslands, gravel, and shallow water.
