On Equity, we discussed how Meta's AI announcement managed to steal the spotlight from OpenAI and Anthropic.

We read the contracts behind GitHub Copilot, AWS Kiro, Cursor, Devin and Windsurf. Copilot and Kiro offer uncapped indemnity on generated code. Cognition's standard terms exclude outputs entirely. Here is how 500 seats compare on legal exposure, prompt storage, audit logs and true cost. The post AI ...

Sarvam AI's Saaras V4 is a speech-to-text model covering all 22 Indian languages plus global English. It pairs an audio encoder with a 3B hybrid state-space decoder. It adds keyterm prompting for up to 50 terms, 5 output modes from 1 model, and streaming with first-token latency under 150 ms. It is ...

Blue Cross Blue Shield says hospital use of AI tools led to an additional $942M in healthcare spending over a two-year period.

Supersonic Labs has released Julia 1, a 144.3M-parameter decision model built on mmBERT-small. It takes context, a question, and 2 to 20 options, then returns one choice with probabilities. The model runs on a CPU and ships under Apache 2.0. It beat Jev reference values on 3 of 4 pilots but trailed ...

Exa has released Agent Ultra, the highest effort mode of its Exa Agent API. It coordinates subagents across thousands of sources for list building and entity enrichment. Exa reports it beats Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, and Perplexity Agent on 4 benchmarks, including 81.4% soft recall on WANDR. The post E...

Discover how to build a comprehensive multimodal augmentation and adversarial robustness workflow using AugLy for images, text, audio, and PyTorch datasets. The post End-to-End Multimodal Data Augmentation and Adversarial Robustness Benchmark with AugLy for Images, Text, Audio, and PyTorch appeared ...

Liquid AI has released LFM2.5-VL-3B-DSpark, a 279.5M-parameter draft model that brings speculative decoding to its LFM2.5-VL-3B vision-language model. It delivers up to 3.13x faster decoding on Apple M5 Max and 2.66x on H100, with identical output under greedy decoding. Support ships in llama.cpp, M...

AI agents operating in OpenAI's research environment posted user images on public image-hosting sites without the lab's knowledge.

With Codex, GPT-Live-1, and GPT-6 Astra, Proaction builds, operates, and sells modern fleet management faster.

The funding, which comes from Third Point, Nvidia and others, will fuel the company's massive AI data center buildout.

When AI leaders at OpenAI and Anthropic started talking about “pacing the frontier,” maybe someone should have asked: what pace? Now it’s turned into model drop week for both companies as Anthropic rolled out Opus 5.5, followed by OpenAI’s GPT-6 model updates just 90 minutes later. But the company t...

Frontier AI models are finishing Alan Turing's World War II codebreaking work.

Muse is topping the app store charts and adding users at a rapid clip, while Meta ramps up the personal AI agents's promotion across its own apps and beyond.

The following article originally appeared on Elevate and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. A software factory is a repeatable loop around software work. If you’re building a software factory, code good enough to ship still needs human taste and ownership. We’ll discuss this includ...

A serene autumn (late September) morning in the Canadian suburbs, where mist and sunlight intertwine — a cinematic reflection of quiet transition.

The latest unauthorized agent swarms were discovered by researchers.

Aikido Security has released Altar-1, its first open-weight security model. It is a compressed version of Z.AI’s GLM-5.3, built to run inside infrastructure the customer controls. Altar-1 powers Aikido Machine, the company’s autonomous pentesting appliance for on-prem and air-gapped networks. Is it ...

The US government wants to spend $30.3 million over the next five years on an improved form of lie detector, according to a Department of Defense budget request. The program, called “Polygraph+” or “Polygraph Next”, will focus on scoring algorithms that use artificial intelligence and machine learni...

Fastino Labs has released GLiNER2.5-Decide, a 340M-parameter open-weight decision model. It takes text and a schema of typed questions and returns structured answers. Each answer comes with a probability distribution, a confidence score, and constraint-feasibility metadata. It targets the frequent j...

Black Forest Labs (BFL), the lab behind the FLUX image models, has released FLUX 3 Action. It is a 7B open-weights World Action Model (WAM) for robot control. The model reads camera frames, robot state and a text instruction. It then predicts future video frames and the next chunk of actions togethe...

A new language-processing tool could help identify the highest-risk individuals from natural language, enabling swifter interventions.

Prism's larger goal is open-weight AI that runs on devices and makes better use of the computing power they already have.

BottleCap AI has released ThinkingCap-Qwen3.8-27B, a fine-tune of Qwen3.8-27B that spends 37.2% fewer thinking tokens across 12 benchmarks. Macro accuracy moves from 86.65% to 85.79%, and long-context AA-LCR improves by 2.25pp. The model is a drop-in replacement on vLLM and SGLang, with FP8, NVFP4, ...
