So... because I am such a hard worker, I spent my weekend going through our openai usage and we're at ~$1200/month.
I honestly thought that was just the cost of doing business then i actually looked at what we're using gpt-4 for, and its seriously a waste of money: extracting phone numbers from emails, checking if text contains profanity, reformatting json and literally just uppercasing text in one function.
I ended up just moving all the dumb stuff to gpt-4o-mini. Same exact outputs, bill dropped to ~$200

Prime Implicant Explanations for Reaction Feasibility Prediction
Machine learning models that predict the feasibility of chemical reactions have become central to automated synthesis planning. Despite their predictive success, these models often lack transparency and interpretability. We introduce a novel formulation of prime implicant explanations--also known as minimally sufficient reasons--tailored to this domain, and propose an algorithm for computing such explanations in small-scale reaction prediction tasks. Preliminary experiments demonstrate that our…

The interplay between high-harmonic generation and photoluminescence in ZnO: Anisotropic spectral properties of harmonic emission and the role of excitons
We investigate the nonlinear optical response of bulk ZnO under intense short-wave infrared excitation, focusing on the interplay between high-harmonic generation (HHG) and photoluminescence (PL). While HHG exhibits non-perturbative intensity scaling and a spectral blueshift consistent with plasma-induced refractive index changes, the PL signal shows a pronounced superlinear increase and a redshift, attributed to a combination of exciton-exciton scattering and phonon-assisted exciton recombinat…

A Schauder Basis for Multiparameter Persistence
Certain classes of multiparameter persistence modules may be encoded as signed barcodes, represented as points in a polyhedral subset of Euclidean space, we refer to as signed persistence diagrams. These signed persistence diagrams exist in the dual space of compactly supported, Lipschitz functionals on a polyhedral pair. In the interest of statistics and machine learning on multiparameter persistence modules, we aim to embed these signed persistence diagrams into Banach or Hilbert space. We us…

Second-order Optimization under Heavy-Tailed Noise: Hessian Clipping and Sample Complexity Limits
Heavy-tailed noise is pervasive in modern machine learning applications, arising from data heterogeneity, outliers, and non-stationary stochastic environments. While second-order methods can significantly accelerate convergence in light-tailed or bounded-noise settings, such algorithms are often brittle and lack guarantees under heavy-tailed noise -- precisely the regimes where robustness is most critical. In this work, we take a first step toward a theoretical understanding of second-order opt…

Dynamical dark energy in models close to $Λ$CDM
In this communication we address whether or not there is an equivalence between the kinematical and dynamical descriptions of the spatially flat $Λ$CDM model. We address this by investigating whether an almost $Λ$CDM expansion history ($j(z)\approx1$) corresponds to an almost $Λ$CDM model ($w_{\rm DE}(z)\approx-1$) by considering two particular explicit examples. At least for the cases considered, this turns out not to be the case. Instead, what we find is that an almost $Λ$CDM cosmic evolu…

In addition, we present the one-loop matching of the $S_1$ scalar leptoquark on the SMEFT, which can generate the Wilson coefficients of all four gauge-invariant baryon-number-violating SMEFT operators. Using this example, we demonstrate the cancellation of scheme and matchi…

The influence of tight binaries on proto-planetary disk masses
Binary systems are a common site of planet formation, despite the destructive effects of the binary on the disk. While surveys of planet forming material have found diminished disk masses around medium separation ($\sim$10--100 au) binaries, less is known about tight ($<$10 au) binaries, where a significant circumbinary disk may escape the disruptive dynamical effects of the binary. We survey over 100 spectroscopic binaries in the Orion A region with ALMA, detecting significant continuum emissi…

The Briançon-Skoda theorem for pseudo-rational and Du~Bois singularities
Suppose $J = (f_1, \dots, f_n)$ is an $n$-generated ideal in a ring $R$. We prove a general Briançon-Skoda-type containment relating the integral closure of powers of $J$ with ordinary powers of $J$. We prove that our result implies the full standard Briançon-Skoda containment $\overline{J^{n+k-1}} \subseteq J^k$ for pseudo-rational singularities (for instance regular rings), and even for the weaker condition of birational derived splinters. Our methods also yield the containment $\overline{J…

Biomolecular interaction modeling has been substantially advanced by foundation models, yet they often produce all-atom structures that violate basic steric feasibility. We address this limitation by enforcing physical validity as a strict constraint during both training and inference with a uniffed module. At its core is a differentiable projection that maps the provisional atom coordinates from the diffusion model to the nearest physically valid conffguration. This projection is achieved usin…

A Promise for the JWST era: Massive black holes directly collapsed from wave dark matter haloes, and Star formation in and around their accretion flows
There are several puzzling phenomena from recent JWST observations, which seem to push the standard ΛCDM cosmology over the edge. All those puzzles can be understood in a coherent way if we assume that first massive black holes (MBHs, the "heavy eggs") formed by directly collapsing from wave CDM haloes, which can be even earlier than the formation of first galaxies (the "chickens"). We elucidate two false obstacles that have been believed to prevent wave CDM haloes from collapsing into black h…

MoWE : A Mixture of Weather Experts
Data-driven weather models have recently achieved state-of-the-art performance, yet progress has plateaued in recent years. This paper introduces a Mixture of Experts (MoWE) approach as a novel paradigm to overcome these limitations, not by creating a new forecaster, but by optimally combining the outputs of existing models. The MoWE model is trained with significantly lower computational resources than the individual experts. Our model employs a Vision Transformer-based gating network that dyn…

A quantum-coherent photon--emitter interface in the original telecom band
Quantum dots stand out as the most advanced and versatile light-matter interface available today. Their ability to deliver high-quality, high-rate, and pure photons has set benchmarks that far surpass other emitters. Yet, a critical frontier has remained elusive: achieving these exceptional capabilities at telecom wavelengths, bridging the gap to fiber-optic infrastructure and scalable silicon photonics. Overcoming this challenge demands high quality quantum materials and devices which, despite…

Fused Lasso Improves Accuracy of Co-occurrence Network Inference in Grouped Samples
Co-occurrence network inference algorithms have significantly advanced our understanding of microbiome communities. However, these algorithms typically analyze microbial associations within samples collected from a single environmental niche, often capturing only static snapshots rather than dynamic microbial processes. Previous studies have commonly grouped samples from different environmental niches together without fully considering how microbial communities adapt their associations when fac…

Decentralising LLM Alignment: A Case for Context, Pluralism, and Participation
Large Language Models (LLMs) alignment methods have been credited with the commercial success of products like ChatGPT, given their role in steering LLMs towards user-friendly outputs. However, current alignment techniques predominantly mirror the normative preferences of a narrow reference group, effectively imposing their values on a wide user base. Drawing on theories of the power/knowledge nexus, this work argues that current alignment practices centralise control over knowledge production …

Stingrays in the radio sky: Two unusual diffuse radio relic sources in the direction of the Magellanic Stream
We present the discovery of two extended, low surface brightness radio continuum sources, each consisting of a near-circular body and an extended tail of emission, nicknamed Stingray 1 (ASKAP J0129-5350) and Stingray 2 (ASKAP J0245-5642). Both are found in the direction of the Magellanic Stream (MS) and were discovered in the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) survey at 944 MHz. We combine the ASKAP data with low-frequency radio observati…

Conditioning on PDE Parameters to Generalise Deep Learning Emulation of Stochastic and Chaotic Dynamics
We present a deep learning emulator for stochastic and chaotic spatio-temporal systems, explicitly conditioned on the parameter values of the underlying partial differential equations (PDEs). Our approach involves pre-training the model on a single parameter domain, followed by fine-tuning on a smaller, yet diverse dataset, enabling generalisation across a broad range of parameter values. By incorporating local attention mechanisms, the network is capable of handling varying domain sizes and re…

Feeding the dead: neutral gas inflow with suppressed star formation in a long-quenched ancient massive galaxy at z~2.7 observed with JWST/NIRSpec
We report the spectroscopic detection of neutral gas inflow into a massive ($M_* \simeq 4\times 10^{10} M_\odot$) quiescent galaxy observed at $z_{\rm{spec}} = 2.6576$ with JWST. From the redshifted absorption of the NaI doublet at $λλ5890, 5896 $ Ang, we estimate an inflow velocity $v=278^{+79}_{-79}$ km s$^{-1}$ and a column density $\log(N_{NaI}/\rm{cm^2}) = 13.02^{+0.03}_{-0.03}$. We derive the inflowing mass of the gas $M_{in} = 1.6^{+0.1}_{-0.1} \times 10^8 M_\odot$ and rate $\dot{M}_{i…
