LLMs help robots understand vague instructions and focus on key details
To help robots do chores in places like homes and factories, a new approach from MIT uses one language model to clarify users’ instructions, then another to ignore irrelevant info.
Meet container: Apple’s Open-Source Swift Tool for Running Linux Containers as Lightweight VMs on Apple Silicon

Build a Nanobot-Style AI Agent in Google Colab with Tool Calling, Session Memory, Skills, and MCP Servers
In this tutorial, we build a lightweight personal AI agent inspired by the architecture of nanobot, runnable entirely in Google Colab. We start from a provider abstraction, then add tool registration, session memory, lifecycle hooks, skills, and an MCP-style tool server. Rather than rely on an exter...
The White House is asking OpenAI to slow roll the release of its new model over safety concerns
penAI reportedly plans to share its newest model, GPT 5.6, with a select group of partners instead of to the broader public. The reason: the Trump administration told it to.
DeepReinforce Releases Ornith-1.0: An Open-Source Coding Model Family That Learns Its Own RL Scaffolds
DeepReinforce released Ornith-1.0, an open-source coding model family built on Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5. Instead of a fixed harness, the model learns its own scaffold during reinforcement learning. The 397B flagship reports 82.4 on SWE-Bench Verified, with all weights under the MIT license.

General Intuition’s $2.3B bet that video games can train AI agents for the real world
General Intuition has raised $320 million to scale AI trained on millions of hours of gameplay, betting action data can help AI develop something closer to human intuition.
From Fortnite to robots: General Intuition raises $2.3B on bet that video games can train AI agents for the real world
General Intuition has raised $320 million to scale AI trained on millions of hours of gameplay, betting action data can help AI develop something closer to human intuition.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping retail, but not in the ways consumers might immediately notice. The biggest transformation may not be flashy virtual try-ons or chatbot shopping assistants, but in how decisions are made behind the scenes: how products surface in search results, how inven...
I got a really interesting question last week from Mike Loukides, my editor at Radar, after he read the third part of this trilogy on context management. “Another issue I’ve read about,” Mike asked, “is the tendency for a model to ignore the middle of the context. I’ve seen that particularly for the...
Baidu Releases Unlimited OCR, a 3B Model That Keeps the KV Cache Flat for Long-Document Parsing
Baidu open-sourced Unlimited OCR, a 3B-parameter MoE model that parses dozens of document pages in a single forward pass. Its Reference Sliding Window Attention (R-SWA) holds the KV cache constant, so memory and latency stay flat as output grows. It scores 93.23 on OmniDocBench v1.5, beating the Dee...
As ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet told TechCrunch in May, what China can currently buy are older-generation deep ultraviolet tools — gear first shipped about a decade ago — the same machines the MATCH Act would now put off limits.
Gradium Launches stt-translate and s2s-translate, Real-Time Speech Translation Models Beating gpt-realtime-translate on Accuracy and Latency
Gradium released two real-time speech translation models, stt-translate and s2s-translate, covering English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese across 20 language pairs. The models collapse the standard three-model cascade into two, pairing single-pass transcription-and-translation with a Gradi...
AI Reality Check: The Hidden Cost of AI Adoption - Organizational Debt
Organizational debt—not compute or models—is the real barrier to AI ROI. Explore how process, cultural, and data debt quietly undermine enterprise AI adoption.
The emergence of the web data infrastructure layer for AI
AI is booming. New use cases are emerging each day. To capitalize on the technology’s potential, enterprises require data at scale. In many cases, though, the relevant information is blocked or unstructured, which limits its use by AI models. To understand this challenge, consider the foundation of...
