Iran's IRGC navy claims an oil tanker hit a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, causing a fire and explosion. The incident highlights the dangers of not adhering to navigation regulations.
A Singapore Airlines flight from Manila encountered turbulence on November 14, 2025, resulting in one cabin crew member fracturing an ankle and four others suffering minor injuries. The incident occurred when the plane, an Airbus A350-900 jet, was cruising at 40,000 feet, about two hours into a flight estimated to take about two hours and 55 minutes. The pilots were alerted by their weather radars to storm clouds about 80 nautical miles ahead, but they decided to continue with their planned route because they were…
### Briefing Hybrid Reasoning Agents (HybridAgents) are designed to bridge the gap between modern language models (LLMs) that rely on text for reasoning and interaction, and latent reasoning methods that offer efficiency but lack native tool access and transparency. By dynamically navigating between text-based and latent modes, HybridAgents preserve agentic capabilities while making latent thoughts directly inspectable. This architecture is further enhanced with dedicated post-training algorithms for hybrid reaso…
