📌 MAROKO133 Eksklusif ai: Bill Gates Admits to Multiple Affairs in Epstein Fallout
Microsoft founder Bill Gates spent his Tuesday doing something only the richest men in the world get to do: apologizing for behavior that would end anyone else’s career while facing absolutely no consequences whatsoever.
In a town hall with staff of the Gates Foundation, reported the Wall Street Journal, Gates apologized for extensive contact with deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein — years after his crimes were publicly well known — in a relationship which rubbed up against two extramarital affairs.
“I did have affairs, one with a Russian bridge player who met me at bridge events, and one with a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities,” Gates told employees.
The billionaire insisted that, though the Russian women he slept with went on to meet Epstein at a later date, he had met them first. “I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit,” Gates told staffers, per the WSJ.
Responding to images released in the latest tranche of Epstein files depicting Gates with young women whose faces were blurred, the billionaire insisted they were Epstein’s various assistants. “To be clear I never spent any time with victims, the women around him,” he said.
Going on, Gates admitted that he didn’t do a proper background check before meeting with the infamous pedophile in 2011 — three years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution.
“I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made,” Gates said. “Knowing what I know now makes it, you know, a hundred times worse in terms of not only his crimes in the past, but now it’s clear there was ongoing bad behavior.”
Despite traveling with Epstein across Europe and the US well into 2014, the Microsoft co-founder insisted that he “never stayed overnight.”
The latest tranche of Epstein documents is shedding new light on the relationship between Gates and the infamous financier, as well as the former’s extramarital affairs. For years after Epstein’s death, the narrative that emerged was one of blackmail, particularly over Gates’ affair with Mila Antonova, a Russian bridge player.
One of the women referenced in Gates’ apology speech, Antonova first met the tech mogul at a bridge tournament in 2010, per previous reporting by the WSJ. Antonova wouldn’t meet Epstein until November 2013, a relationship which afforded the Russian woman a tidy sum of cash to cover her schooling.
It wasn’t until 2017 that the alleged blackmail episode began, according to the WSJ, when the pedophile financier approached Gates to cover the cost of Antonova’s schooling.
“It was a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein,” Gates told his staffers.

In recent years, LLM Multi-Agent systems have garnered widespread attention for their collaborative approach to solving complex problems. However, it’s a common scenario for these systems to fail at a task despite a flurry of activity. This leaves developers with a critical question: which agent, at what point, was responsible for the failure? Sifting through vast interaction logs to pinpoint the root cause feels like finding a needle in a haystack—a time-consuming and labor-intensive effort.
This is a familiar frustration for developers. In increasingly complex Multi-Agent systems, failures are not only common but also incredibly difficult to diagnose due to the autonomous nature of agent collaboration and long information chains. Without a way to quickly identify the source of a failure, system iteration and optimization grind to a halt.
To address this challenge, researchers from Penn State University and Duke University, in collaboration with institutions including Google DeepMind, have introduced the novel research problem of “Automated Failure Attribution.” They have constructed the first benchmark dataset for this task, Who&When, and have developed and evaluated several automated attribution methods. This work not only highlights the complexity of the task but also paves a new path toward enhancing the reliability of LLM Multi-Agent systems.
The paper has been accepted as a Spotlight presentation at the top-tier machine learning conference, ICML 2025, and the code and dataset are now fully open-source.

Research Background and Challenges
LLM-driven Multi-Agent systems have demonstrated immense potential across many domains. However, these systems are fragile; errors by a single agent, misunderstandings between agents, or mistakes in information transmission can lead to the failure of the entire task.
Currently, when a system fails, developers are often left with manual and inefficient methods for debugging:
Manual Log Archaeology : Developers must manually review lengthy interaction logs to find the source of the problem.
Reliance on Expertise : The debugging process is highly dependent on the developer’s deep understanding of the system and the task at hand.
This “needle in a haystack” approach to debugging is not only inefficient but also severely hinders rapid system iteration and the improvement of system reliability. There is an urgent need for an automated, systematic method to pinpoint the cause of failures, effectively bridging the gap between “evaluation results” and “system improvement.”
Core Contributions
This paper makes several groundbreaking contributions to address the challenges above:
1. Defining a New Problem: The paper is the first to formalize “automated failure attribution” as a specific research task. This task is defined by identifying the failure-responsible agent and the decisive error step that led to the task’s failure.
2. Constructing the First Benchmark Dataset: Who&When : This dataset includes a wide range of failure logs collected from 127 LLM Multi-Agent systems, which were either algorithmically generated or hand-crafted by experts to ensure realism and diversity. Each failure log is accompanied by fine-grained human annotations for:
Who: The agent responsible for the failure.
When: The specific interaction step where the decisive error occurred.
Why: A natural language explanation of the cause of the failure.
3. Exploring Initial “Automated Attribution” Methods : Using the Who&When dataset, the paper designs and assesses three distinct methods for automated failure attribution:
– All-at-Once: This method provides the LLM with the user query and the complete failure log, asking it to identify the responsible agent and the decisive error step in a single pass. While cost-effective, it may struggle to pinpoint precise errors in long contexts.
– Step-by-Step: This approach mimics manual debugging by having the LLM review the interaction log sequentially, making a judgment at each step until the error is found. It is more precise at locating the error step but incurs higher costs and risks accumulating errors.
– Binary Search: A compromise between the first two methods, this strategy repeatedly divides the log in half, using the LLM to determine which segment contains the error. It then recursively searches the identified segment, offering a balance of cost and performance.
Experimental Results and Key FindingsÂ
Experiments were conducted in two settings: one where the LLM knows the ground truth answer to the problem the Multi-Agent system is trying to solve (With Ground Truth) and one where it does not (Without Ground Truth). The primary model used was GPT-4o, though other models were also tested. The systematic evaluation of these methods on the Who&When dataset yielded several important insights:
– A Long Way to Go: Current methods are far from perfect. Even the best-performing single method achieved an accuracy of only about 53.5% in identifying the responsible agent and a mere 14.2% in pinpointing the exact error step. Some methods performed even worse than random guessing, underscoring the difficulty of the task.
– No “All-in-One” Solution: Different methods excel at different aspects of the problem. The All-at-Once method is better at identifying “Who,” while the Step-by-Step method is more effective at determining “When.” The Binary Search method provides a middle-ground performance.
Â
– Hybrid Approaches Show Promise but at a High Cost: The researchers found that combining different methods, such as using the All-at-Once approach to identify a potential agent and then applying the Step-by-Step method to find the error, can improve overall performance. However, this comes with a significant increase in computational cost.
– State-of-the-Art Models Struggle: Surprisingly, even the most advanced reasoning models, like OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek R1, find this task challenging.- This h…
