Researchers have developed a novel algorithm for online correlation clustering that can simultaneously approximate all $\ell_p$-norms. This algorithm, designed for the online-with-a-sample model, achieves competitive ratios of $O(\log^4 n)$ for all $\ell_p$-norms, $O(\log n)$ for the $\ell_\infty$-norm, and $O(1)$ for the $\ell_1$-norm. The work also introduces a new hardness result demonstrating a fundamental separation between $\ell_1$ and $\ell_\infty$ objectives in the standard random-order online model, showing that $\ell_\infty$ requires a competitive ratio of at least $\Omega(n^{1/3})$.
