Databricks has remade its image into an AI company and has published research on the cost savings of open weight AI models for coding.

Zyphra released ZUNA1.1 on July 16, 2026, under the Apache 2.0 license. The 380M masked diffusion autoencoder reconstructs, denoises, and upsamples scalp-EEG across arbitrary channel layouts. It accepts variable-length inputs from 0.5 to 30 seconds, against ZUNA1's fixed five seconds. Reported NMSE ...

Agility is opening a new training center for its Digit robots in Fremont, California.

India's smartphone slowdown highlights how the AI boom is reshaping consumer electronics, from pricing and demand to corporate strategy.

Apple filed a trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI last Friday, and it’s not messing around. The complaint alleges a pattern of misconduct reaching all the way up to OpenAI’s chief hardware officer and claims more than 400 former Apple employees now work at the company. OpenAI’s response so far has ...

Assistant Professor Bailey Flanigan has arrived at complex computational methods for helping democracy thrive.

Patreon is strengthening its defenses against AI scraping by working with Cloudflare to block bots that train AI models on creators’ content without permission. The move marks a shift away from relying on websites using robots.txt alone to actively block unauthorized AI training.

I keep seeing the same idea in conversations about agents: detailed specs are old-world overhead now. Give the model a rough goal, let it explore, fix what comes back, move on. It sounds efficient but it also hides the cost. A simple prompt looks cheap and tempting because it gets implementation sta...

Every morning, airline dispatchers, grid operators, and farmers around the world make decisions based on the same thing: a weather forecast. While these forecasts are something that most people glance at for two seconds, weather predictions influence major strategic decisions in many industries, wit...

NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Embed on July 15 and 16, 2026. The collection has three open checkpoints: Nemotron-3-Embed-8B-BF16, Nemotron-3-Embed-1B-BF16, and Nemotron-3-Embed-1B-NVFP4. The 8B ranks #1 on RTEB at 78.46 average NDCG@10. The 1B came from ModelOpt NAS pruning plus COS+MSE distillation fr...

Moonshot AI released Kimi K3 on July 16, 2026. It is a 2.8-trillion-parameter open MoE model built on Kimi Delta Attention and Attention Residuals, activating 16 of 896 experts. The post Moonshot AI Releases Kimi K3: A 2.8 Trillion Parameter Open MoE Model With Kimi Delta Attention and 1M Context a...

Explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping human meaning, work, purpose, creativity, and significance. This July 2026 edition of The Intelligence Shift examines the future of value in an age where machine intelligence transforms how we define purpose and human identity.

Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents stil...

OpenAI trained GPT-Red, an internal-only attacker model, using self-play reinforcement learning against a population of defender LLMs. It beat human red-teamers 84% to 13% on a replicated indirect prompt injection arena, found a novel "Fake Chain-of-Thought" attack class, and cut GPT-5.6 Sol's failu...

Google is adding personalized AI avatars to Vids that let users create videos starring a digital version of themselves, alongside Gemini Omni-powered tools for generating and editing videos from prompts and reference images.

Roblox's new "Build" feature lets users generate basic games using a single text prompt.

Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a...

Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define th...

Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated ev...

DoorDash is opening a limited beta of dd-cli, a command-line tool that lets developers and AI agents search stores, build carts, and place orders from the terminal, marking another step toward software designed for AI agents instead of just humans.

Drawing on more than a decade spent helping build some of the world's most influential AI systems, including research that later informed the development of ChatGPT, Andrew Dai explains why he believes visual AI is one of the next major frontiers in artificial intelligence.

The FT reports Kimi K3 will be the largest open AI model from China, with a parameter count between 2 trillion and 3 trillion.

My job is developer productivity. I’ve worked in developer infrastructure for six years now so I have skin in the game here. I want the AI productivity story to be true. More output, tighter timelines, happier and more productive engineers. Who wouldn’t? But I keep looking at the actual research and...
