chromiumfish: A stealth Chromium build with a drop-in Playwright harness for Python and Node

ChromiumFish is a new, stealth-focused fork of the Chromium browser designed to evade detection by websites. It achieves this by embedding anti-fingerprinting measures directly into the browser's C++ engine, rather than relying on JavaScript patches which are more easily detected. The project offers SDKs for Python and Node.js that integrate seamlessly with Playwright, allowing developers to use it for web scraping and other automated tasks. AI

IMPACT Provides a more robust tool for web scraping, potentially enabling more sophisticated data collection for AI training.

Making LLMs more accurate by using all of their layers

Google Research has developed a new framework to evaluate the behavioral alignment of large language models with human social inclinations. This approach adapts established psychological questionnaires into large-scale situational judgment tests, allowing for the quantification of model tendencies in realistic scenarios. The research identifies gaps where model behaviors deviate from human consensus or fail to capture the range of human opinions, aiming to improve LLM navigation of social dynamics. Separately, Google Research also introduced SLED, a novel decoding strategy that enhances LLM factuality by utilizing all model layers instead of just the final one, without requiring external data or fine-tuning. AI

IMPACT New methods for evaluating LLM alignment and improving factuality could lead to more trustworthy and socially adept AI systems.
