How mobility gives language models a deeper understanding of place

Google Research 1 month ago 12

Mobility-Embedded POIs (ME-POIs) introduced a mobility-informed framework that turns language-model place representations into embeddings capturing places’ temporal activity rhythms. It reported up to an 81.9% relative gain in predicting visit intent, a 75.1% improvement in price level classification, and a 24.7% increase in busyness estimation accuracy on unseen places. As a result, AI can better infer real-world attributes like opening hours, price levels, and busyness from aggregate mobility plus text, including for sparse places, without enabling individual personalization.

How a Georgia Tech team used the open Olmo stack to trace social reasoning

Allen Institute (AI2) 1 month ago 15

Glenn Matlin and Chandreyi Chakraborty traced where an Olmo 3 language model’s social reasoning comes from by estimating how different training-document categories influenced benchmark answers. They sampled about 5.68 million documents from Dolma 3 (which contains about 1.26 billion documents) and found SocialIQA relied much more on narrative, interpersonal writing categories than other benchmarks. When they deleted the most influential literature data, the model’s SocialIQA score fell more than after removing random documents, suggesting training-data changes can measurably affect social reasoning ability.

GLM-5.3 vs. Claude Fable 5 on DeepSWE: Cost, Coding, and Routing

Together AI 1 month ago 40 ● 3 sources

GLM-5.3 and Claude Fable 5 tied on DeepSWE first-attempt coding accuracy, but GLM-5.3 won every metric after retries. GLM-5.3 cost $3.99 per rollout versus $21.63 for Fable 5 (a 5.4x gap), while scoring 69.0% vs 69.7% on pass@1 and 81.1% vs 77.1% on pass@2. The practical change is to default to GLM-5.3 and only escalate to Fable for Rust and serialization-heavy tasks, since pairing both adds limited extra coverage due to high per-task overlap.
