Speed and accuracy usually pull against each other in text-to-speech. Gradium AI's new default model reports both: an 81.0% human-rated pass rate on 500 hard sentences across five languages, at 216 ms P50 time-to-first-audio on Coval. The evaluation set is open on Hugging Face under CC BY 4.0. The p...

We went looking for what companies are actually building with AI. The answer was not more chatbots. It was drones carrying diagnostic samples, driverless Frito-Lay trucks, AI-guided flight paths, repair copilots, and rugged GPU laptops in Ukraine. We reviewed 136 use cases from the last 20 days. The...

How do you benchmark a web search API when the thing being tested can read the answer key? A search agent has a fetch tool. If the gold labels sit in a public dataset, the agent can download them mid-evaluation and skip retrieval entirely. A similar problem arises when the answers are already encode...

Google Research has released TimesFM-3, a 330 million parameter time series foundation model that forecasts multiple related series in a single forward pass. Unlike every TimesFM checkpoint through 2.5, it is pretrained natively for multivariate forecasting, accepting multiple targets, past covariat...

Versions of OpenAI's ChatGPT and SpaceXAI's Grok will join Google's Gemini on the Pentagon's central portal for AI tools.

The seed round for the app that provides real-time legal and policy guidance to officers was led by SignalFire and Las Olas VC.

By now you’ve probably heard about last month’s major AI security incident, in which OpenAI agents escaped their sandbox and hacked into the AI platform Hugging F...

The three-year-old startup says it reached $15 million in ARR and profitability before raising its latest $15 million round.

Nvidia invests $3.5 billion into Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek. The deal shows how Nvidia plans to stay essential to AI infrastructure as Big Tech begins to build its own AI chips.

Polimill uses OpenAI GPT models and Codex to help municipalities search and use administrative knowledge while accelerating development.

The U.S. is shutting out more foreign-made drones and robots. China’s scale means the global competition may simply move elsewhere.

Voice agents fail on latency long before they fail on intelligence. Time to first token is the metric most teams use to choose an inference API, and it is the right starting point and the wrong stopping point. This benchmark works through every layer of the voice stack — LLM, speech-to-text, text-to...

Google Cloud AI Research, with Washington University in St. Louis and UNC Chapel Hill, has released EnvHarness, an Apache-2.0 layer that turns a static agent benchmark into one that adapts to the policy training on it. It wraps a frozen environment through the standard reset()/step() interface, so t...

Elon Musk says a secretive new SpaceX foundry will let him cast his own turbine blades and get gas power online 18 months faster than anyone else — but it's a bet on a fuel source that's already triggering lawsuits and health studies everywhere his (and others') turbines have gone in.

Code-as-World recovers editable MuJoCo scene code from real video, then uses those verified worlds to train physical reasoning. The post Meet ‘Code-as-World’: An Agentic Loop That Rewrites Real Videos Into Executable MuJoCo Physics Programs appeared first on MarkTechPost.

One University of Chicago curriculum is removing AI-assisted writing from the classroom. Alpha School is expanding a model that puts adaptive software at the center of the academic day. The strongest signal in the latest Who’s Who Global Edition is that education is moving past general principles an...

In this tutorial, we build an ensemble weather forecasting workflow with NVIDIA Earth2Studio. We install the required Earth2Studio components while preserving Colab’s existing CUDA-enabled PyTorch environment, load the FCN prognostic model, and retrieve atmospheric initial conditions from GFS. We th...

This latest lawsuit is particularly broad and homes in on accusations of illegal piracy.

Vijay Pande — who left a16z's roughly $4 billion biotech practice last year to start the much smaller, AI-native VZVC — talks about why biology is finally shifting from a "discovery" science to an "engineering" one, why clinical trials are still brutally expensive, and why he thinks open, shared dat...

We look at Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, Google's production update to its native multimodal video generation and editing model. We break down what changed: scene extension now reads up to 10 seconds of prior context instead of a single final frame, first and last frames can be pinned to control camera mov...

Pollen Robotics, the Bordeaux robotics team at Hugging Face, opened pre-orders for Microduck — a 25 cm bipedal robot where every movement is a neural policy trained in MuJoCo and exported to ONNX. At $399, it puts the full sim-to-real loop on a desk: 15 motors, camera, LiDAR, two IMUs, and an Apache...

There's a lot of capital pouring into the business of giving models away.

Vercel has open-sourced vgpu, the WebGPU library it built to ship the shaders on vercel.com. It treats .wgsl files as importable TypeScript modules, runs the same shader in the browser, in headless Node.js via Dawn, and in a deterministic CI mock, and ships a fullscreen effect in 25 KB gzipped. The ...

A federal judge ruled the Trump administration illegally labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk, handing the AI company a victory as its second Pentagon lawsuit continues in Washington.
