OpenAI’s latest mathematical milestone has quickly become mired in controversy. Today, the company announced that its agents have solved one of the Millennium Prize Problems, some of the most important open problems in mathematics. Under normal circumstances, that solution would be a huge feather in...

NVIDIA has announced CUDA Rust, a push to make Rust a first-class language for GPU kernels. Two open-source NVlabs projects cover the two CUDA programming models: cuda-oxide compiles SIMT kernels from Rust MIR through Pliron and LLVM to PTX, while cutile-rs JIT-compiles Tile kernels through CUDA Til...

Meta's new personal AI agent Muse wants access to users' email, calendars, payments, health services, and more — making the company's biggest consumer AI bet yet a major test of whether people still trust Meta with their data.

Google Cloud expands its enterprise AI push with Accenture, betting on forward-deployed engineers to drive adoption and overcome deployment bottlenecks.

AI is changing how fast organizations can move. Ideas that used to take months to build now take days, sometimes hours. That sounds like good news, and it is. But it creates a new problem. When execution is fast, teams can move in many directions at once. Marketing can ship a new campaign, product c...

The French AI lab has raised €3 billion at a €21 billion valuation in a Series D round led by Samsung, Scaleup Europe and PSG Equity.

Danijar Hafner’s office in San Francisco’s SoMa district sits mostly empty. His brand-new startup is still in stealth mode and doesn’t even have its name on the door. On the day I visit, there’s only one other person there, and little in the way of furniture. But what it lacks in decor, it makes up…...

We look at r-1, the document parsing model Reducto released on September 1, 2026. We walk through how it folds OCR, layout detection, tables, formatting and grounding into one full page pass, replacing the multi stage agentic pipeline it ships alongside. We break down the two numbers that matter for...

OpenAI is expanding support for journalism with tools, training, and partnerships for students, educators, journalists, and news organizations.

OpenBMB has released MiniCPM5-2B, a dense causal language model with 2,516,756,480 parameters and a native 131,072 token context. It averages 53.9 across the 34 benchmarks in its model card, ahead of Qwen3.5-4B at 51.1, with its clearest leads in tool use, coding agents and long-context retrieval. P...

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.
