Week of 28 July 2025
The Alan Turing Institute has released AutoEmulate v1.0, a Python package for building fast simulation emulators.
Key points
- AutoEmulate automates ML-based surrogate model creation, potentially reducing simulation compute costs significantly.
- Limited direct relevance to Australian AI governance or APS policy work - primarily a scientific computing tool.
Week of 21 July 2025
Alan Turing Institute argues small language models (SLMs) remain valuable alongside frontier AI for public sector use.
Key points
- SLMs offer lower compute costs, local deployment, and reduced data-sovereignty risk - directly relevant to APS contexts.
