The preconditioner memory of kernel ridge regression no longer grows with model size, letting Bloks scale to ten million parameters and match or beat state-of-the-art accuracy on large-scale benchmarks such as Higgs.

The work introduces Bayesian Dialectical Argumentation (BDA), which treats a multi-LLM council's typed moves—who proposed, challenged, or conceded which answer—as observations of a classical annotator model with per-agent reliabilities, recasting multi-agent deliberation as a reliability estimation problem; across binary and multi-class benchmarks, BDA achieves the best calibration among zero-cost council aggregation methods, requires no additional LLM calls, improves robustness under persistent adversarial coalitions, and remains competitive in clean settings.

An international multidisciplinary working group of 41 experts systematically reviewed 922 citations up to March 17, 2025, revised the 2016 acute exacerbation (AE) definition—previously limited to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)—into an AE-fILD definition applicable across all fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (anchored in diffuse alveolar damage with or without organizing pneumonia), proposed the broader concept of acute respiratory worsening (ARW) to capture acute deteriorations not attributable to DAD, and summarized evidence on epidemiology, risk factors, prognosis, and management while discussing AE as a clinical trial endpoint.
