Ethereum Staking Frenzy: Billions Queue Up Like It’s Black Friday! 🚀
This marks the highest staking demand since late August 2023-back when people still thought NFTs of cartoon apes were a sound investment. New validators now face a 30-day, 13-hour wait, which is roughly the time it takes for a British summer to disappoint.

![Client participation in Federated Learning exhibits network effects, wherein increased client involvement demonstrably amplifies the overall model accuracy, a phenomenon quantified by the observation that the marginal gain in performance diminishes as participation nears saturation, mirroring a logarithmic relationship described by [latex] \log(N) [/latex], where <i>N</i> represents the number of participating clients.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.04648v1/x1.png)
![The study demonstrates that transferring neuron masks-specifically, those identified within a [latex]LLaMA2-7B-Base[/latex] model-directly to its [latex]LLaMA2-7B-Chat[/latex] counterpart yields measurable performance on target-language benchmarks-MMLU, C-Eval, and Belebele\_vi-suggesting a shared underlying neural infrastructure despite differing conversational objectives.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.04664v1/x4.png)


![Cost-weighted loss is shown to vary with the escalation threshold when using calibrated probabilities, with the decision-aware threshold of 0.0909 derived from an asymmetric cost structure where the cost of a false negative ([latex]C_{FN}=10[/latex]) is ten times greater than the cost of a false positive ([latex]C_{FP}=1[/latex]).](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.04486v1/cost_vs_threshold_rf.png)
