Generalist AI Releases GEN-1.5: A Robot Foundation Model That Learns New Tasks From One 3–12 Second Demo
Generalist AI has released GEN-1.5, a robot foundation model that learns a new physical task from a single demonstration. Drop 3–12 seconds of sensorimotor data into its 30-second context window, and the robot performs the task. No gradient updates, no fine-tuning, no task-specific programming. Acro...
Google Research Introduces ME-POIs: A Mobility-Informed Framework that Adds “How a Place Is Used” to Text-Based POI Embeddings
framework that folds aggregate human movement into text-based place embeddings. Language models describe what a place is; they miss how it is used. ME-POIs encodes each visit as a contextualized vector and aligns it with one learnable prototype per POI through contrastive learning, then transfers vi...
Scientific Data Analysis with LabPlot in Python: Signal Processing, Spectral Peak Fitting, Visualization, and Batch Automation
In this tutorial, we explore a LabPlot-inspired scientific data analysis workflow in Python while preserving the structure and terminology of LabPlot’s aspect tree, analysis kernels, plotting system, and project model. We build reusable components to import tabular data, compute descriptive statisti...
AI Weekly Issue #525: Nvidia may buy into Perplexity above $30B before Wednesday's earnings
The Information reports that Nvidia is discussing an equity investment in Perplexity at a valuation above $30 billion. Perplexity's annualized revenue has reportedly passed $750 million, up from less than $250 million at the start of 2026. Separately, Bloomberg says SoftBank plans a record ¥1 trilli...
Harvey Introduces Harvey Tenet: A Kimi K3 Base Post-Trained with Fireworks for Long-Horizon Legal Agent Work
Harvey's first post-trained model nearly doubles LAB task completion, but only one benchmark number survives independent verification today

Is it legal to train AI models on copyrighted books? It’s complicated
Most published authors have, without their knowledge or consent, contributed to the development of the same AI tools that threaten to undermine their livelihoods. That seems illegal, right?

Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research
Built by DeepMind alumni, British AI lab Inherent released Faraday, an AI agent whose ability to replicate scientific papers could be a stepping stone for innovation.
Frontier AI labs still won’t say how they’d contain a rogue model
A new study finds leading AI labs have few publicly documented plans for containing rogue models, raising questions about preparedness as AI systems increasingly demonstrate unexpected and potentially dangerous behavior.
Decoding AI’s Open-Source Course Maps Three Ways to Run an Agent Loop and the Provider Economics Behind Each
Most teams treat ‘which model’ as the important decision. The harness engineering literature keeps pointing somewhere else. In LangChain’s Terminal-Bench experiment, changing only the harness—same model throughout—moved a coding agent from roughly 30th place into the top 5. That result reframes the ...
Anthropic forbids its Claude models from generating sexually explicit content. But a series of tests conducted by TechCrunch found that it didn't take much to get past the restriction.
Building Agentic Document Intelligence Pipelines: Creating Scientific Figures with AutoFigure
This tutorial explores AutoFigure, a practical toolkit for generating professional scientific figures directly from text descriptions and research papers. We walk through setting up the environment, configuring an API-backed generation workflow, and converting complex document intelligence pipelines...
Anthropic Brings Claude Mythos 5 to Claude Security: Enterprise Teams Get Frontier Vulnerability Scanning Without Direct Model Access
Anthropic has moved its most cyber-capable model into a product security teams can switch on themselves. Claude Security scans now run on Claude Mythos 5, in public beta for Claude Enterprise customers with no separate model add-on. The scan connects to a GitHub repository, traces data flows across ...
Nvidia just showed that the harness, not the AI model, is now the real hero
Nvidia research shows that AI agents can perform well, and not go off the deep end, through fine-tuning, even if the AI model isn't that great at the task.
The DOJ is investigating a16z. What does this mean for venture capital?
Andreessen Horowitz has two partners sitting on the boards of companies that now compete with each other: Ben Horowitz at Databricks and Martin Casado at Fivetran.
