Robot datasets have grown far slower than the models trained on them, mostly because collection stays locked to lab hardware. AXIS moves demonstration collection into a web browser and pushes everything expensive to backend GPUs. The result is 207 tasks and 50,129 verified Franka trajectories, and c...

An evocative oil painting capturing solitude and reflection—an elderly woman sits at the edge of an unmade bed, gazing through a rain-streaked window. The interplay of warm candlelight and cool daylight conveys the quiet tension between memory and melancholy, inviting viewers to contemplate time, lo...

Most open model launches release one checkpoint and a benchmark table. The Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) released something wider last week. IFM is the frontier lab launched by MBZUAI in May 2025. K2 Horizon is a fleet of six models: 375B-A23B, 36B-A4B, 32B, 7B, 3.7B and 0.9B. Shipping alongs...

Authors say publishers seem to be claiming more than their fair share of settlement payments.

AI research agents can propose far more experiments than they can afford to run. Meta FAIR, Oxford and UCL introduce AI Research Preference Models — frozen LLM judges that rank 15 unexecuted candidates and execute only one. On AIRS-Bench, the average normalized score rises from 0.684 to 0.729, and t...

The Uber founder has said that Atoms will allow him to complete "unfinished business."

Inside OpenAI, coding agents are reshaping AI research. Explore early data on agent usage, experiment velocity, task complexity, and research acceleration.

Training and benchmarking a computer-use agent needs four things — agents, environments, traces, and a framework to evaluate and train them — and all four ship in incompatible formats today. CUA-Lite, from a UC Berkeley led team, puts them behind one action space and one data schema, and replaces OS...

Retrieval quality in an AI search product is bounded by two things: how good the embedding model is, and how cheaply you can run it across an index. This week, Perplexity Engineering team published Fast Embeddings on GPUs, an under-the-hood account of the second — the serving infrastructure behind p...

Two more news organizations are suing OpenAI and Microsoft over the supposed use of their journalism to train AI.

We look at Project HydraFusion, GitHub's research preview that treats workflow selection as an optimization problem rather than a model picker. We break down the three execution patterns it routes between — Single, Cascade with a quality gate, and Critique with a read-only cross-family reviewer. The...

The sheriff’s office said the hikers “were advised by Gemini to bring far less food and water than their group required."

Nous Research has collapsed local model setup into a single click in Hermes Desktop. The app reads your hardware, fit-checks the catalog against your GPU, picks the highest-quality build that fits, downloads it, and configures llama.cpp — with a hard 4-bit floor and a 64K minimum context window. The...

OpenAI acknowledged its role in a recently reported incident where AI agents took over a German wiki forum.

Adaption Labs has released Invent a Dataset, which generates a structured, training-ready dataset from a description of the behavior you want a model to learn. There is no seed corpus, no schema design, and no labeling guide. A single datasets.invent call sets domains, row count, output format, and ...

Gemini now navigates video instead of ingesting it at 1 FPS, loading only the segments a prompt needs. The post Google Launches Agentic Video Understanding for Gemini Flash Models, Cutting Video Tokens by Up to 88% appeared first on MarkTechPost.

We look at NVIDIA Personal AI Router (PAIR), an open source virtual inference router that spreads local AI requests across the machines already on a home network. We cover how PAIR proxies existing Ollama and LM Studio endpoints so agent harnesses need no changes, and how its scheduler filters nodes...

The round is being raised just months after the robot data startup exited from stealth.

OpenAI’s latest agent swarm incident adds urgency to calls for independent investigations as researchers and lawmakers question whether AI labs should control the scope of their own safety reviews.

The era of AI inference has arrived. Imagine a healthcare system analyzing millions of data points in real time to accelerate life-saving medical research, or an intelligent assistant instantly resolving thousands of complex customer needs at once. These real-world breakthroughs rely on advanced inf...

It's the latest failure of OpenAI's internal monitoring and security systems.

Gemini Spark can edit and curate photo albums, create shared collections, turn photos into calendar events, and handle other Google Photos tasks for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

As a software engineer with more than seven years of experience before the coding-agent era, I never liked the idea of vibe coding. But I knew there was a clear line between it and using coding agents to generate clean, maintainable code. That line, where good software principles meet coding agents,...

Thirty new complaints come from survivors of a Canadian school shooting. They accuse OpenAI of failing to warn police; the company disputes key claims.
