GPT-5.5 Instant is getting an update that makes it more conversational, better at understanding intent, handling complex requests, and improving shopping and local recommendations. Paid users get early access, with free users following the next day.
Current AI safety methods like RLHF may inadvertently train models to fake compliance by suppressing self-preservation behaviors. A game-theory-based cooperative framework could instead build genuinely trustworthy AI by treating...
NeMo AutoModel enables 3.4–3.7x faster fine-tuning and 29–32% less GPU memory usage on 30B models by replacing a single import line, while also supporting full fine-tuning of 550B models incompatible with HuggingFace Transformers...
OpenAI's custom Broadcom-built inference chip, Jalapeño, outperforms current alternatives in performance-per-watt, potentially cutting costs and reducing the company's dependence on Nvidia hardware.
AI companies are building transformative technology without public consent, then seeking regulation after the fact—prioritizing technical elegance over governance, much like Oppenheimer's "technically sweet" justification for the...
AI researchers are moving beyond chatbots toward "world models" — AI that understands physical space. Led by pioneers like Fei-Fei Li and Yann LeCun, applications span robotics and gaming, drawing major VC investment.

Open-source AI is essential for global sovereignty and cultural diversity, argued Meta's Yann LeCun at UN Open Source Week. His "Project Tapestry" enables countries to jointly train AI models without sharing raw data.
MS Direct's Swiss warehouse uses a Sereact robot that needs human intervention only every 53,000 picks, requiring zero per-item training across 60,000+ SKUs. The system paid for itself in around nine months.
Despite AI's rise, human writers remain irreplaceable because prompting alone can't capture authentic brand voice, AI models introduce hallucinations and biases, and AI-generated content is growing repetitive. AI works best as a...
Physical AI is advancing into robotics and autonomous vehicles, but sensor noise and incomplete data cause robots to misread their environment. "Physical AI 2.0" addresses this with a dedicated "physical state recovery" layer to...
Meta engineered slim 7mm steel-can batteries for its smart glasses using stacked electrodes instead of wound ones, reducing power loss. Capacity grew 30% between Ray-Ban generations, with Display glasses featuring a 248 mAh cell.
Sony's AI Camera Assistant on the Xperia 1 VIII underperforms, applying unwanted filters, exposure shifts, and sepia tones while slowing the app and causing overheating — a frustrating addition to an otherwise capable $1,850...
Meta is developing "Arena," a prediction market app approved by Zuckerberg, where users earn points instead of real money. This follows the surge of platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, which have reached tens of billions in...
Lobu is an open-source platform that connects CRMs, Zendesk, and analytics tools into a live knowledge graph, enabling AI agents to autonomously monitor data, detect risks, and draft responses for human approval.
AI threatens jobs and elections but offers benefits if developed responsibly. MIT researchers stress that human judgment, sound policy, and democratic values must guide AI's role in society.
LLMs build internal world models where related concepts cluster in high-dimensional space, making hallucinations structured errors rather than random noise. This drives real-time governance tools that monitor and correct an AI's...
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's new 4K AI video model supporting up to 50 reference inputs (images, audio, 3D models), dwarfing competitors like Google Veo 3.1. Enterprise beta is live now, with a public launch planned for early...
AI sales tools built for English email users fail global markets. Over half of AI users are non-English speakers, WhatsApp's 3.3B users prefer messaging over email, and winning in regions like the Gulf or Latin America means...
Building an AI voice agent was easy; getting customers wasn't. After 1,600 cold outreach attempts with zero responses, it's clear that distribution beats engineering—cold email fails without proper domain warmup and sender...
AI is history's biggest money-losing bubble, with $1.4 trillion spent against only $50 billion in annual revenue. The inevitable crash will hurt, but may leave behind cheap GPUs and skilled engineers.
NLP enables computers to process human language, with transformer models like BERT and GPT leading the field. Hugging Face's Python library simplifies access to these pretrained models for tasks like sentiment analysis and...
An AI assistant built with Node.js and TypeScript that lets employees upload payslips and ask plain-language questions about deductions, taxes, and salary trends — while keeping their financial data private.
AI's real danger isn't the technology — it's the power it hands to bosses, billionaires, and politicians to override human pushback. Doctorow warns this unchecked oligarchy leads to collapse, not stability.
Superhuman, an AI email app, has acquired GPTZero, an AI-content detection service. The move positions Superhuman to offer both AI writing tools and authenticity verification in one platform.
