Some ed tech gets a lot of hype; it’s easy to get excited about esports setups, one-to-one device upgrades and artificial intelligence. But the infrastructure that makes all of that possible is often an afterthought. Modern network infrastructure is a building block for a modern classroom. If your network isn’t upgraded to support these projects, they are going to fail. Districts preparing to modernize must ask the unglamorous question first: Is the network ready? If not, they can build an upgrade plan with a funding strategy that supports the infrastructure that makes the new technology…

arXiv:2606.12764v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate code at scale. Meanwhile, prior work has investigated whether training data may be recoverable from model outputs, by auditing the textual overlap between training examples and model generations. Code, however, can preserve the same logic while differing substantially in syntax and structure. We here study functional memorization: the leakage of training data logic from LLM generations in ways that textual audits fail to detect. We leverage AI coding agents to generate diverse test inputs for training data functionality and evaluate whether model-generated continuations produce the same outputs. We formalize this through a counterfactual framework, comparing target models (exposed to specific code) against reference models (not exposed) and requiring functional equivalence only for the target. We instantiate this framework across 4 open-source models and explicitly f
