AI Weekly Issue #527: Schools are choosing opposite futures for AI
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...
Building Custom Batched Ensemble Weather Forecasting with NVIDIA Earth2Studio
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...
“We’re not doing 30 bets a year”: Vijay Pande on betting small after running $4 billion at a16z
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...
Google AI Releases Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash: 40-Second Scene Extension, First/Last Frame Control, and 4K Upscaling
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...
Hugging Face Unveils Microduck: A $399 Open-Source 25 cm Biped You Train with Reinforcement Learning
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...
Vercel AI Open-Sources vgpu: A TypeScript WebGPU Library for AI Agent Shaders
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 ...
Anthropic gets its first court win over the Pentagon’s supply chain risk label
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.
Cohere Releases Parse 5 (parse-v5.0): A 2.3B Vision Language Model That Turns Enterprise Documents Into Markdown
Cohere has released Parse (parse-v5.0), a 2.3B-parameter vision language model that converts PDFs, slides and images into Markdown with HTML tables, bounding boxes and image descriptions. It runs at $1.50 per 1,000 pages through the API, or on dedicated Model Vault instances from $2,500 a month. Coh...
A new machine-learning framework aims to improve the success rate of computational protein design while moving away from results that reproduce sequences found in nature.
Google’s AI Mode can now track flight prices, help book hotels, and more
The updates indicate that Google is looking position to AI Mode as an AI travel agent of sorts, as it's moving beyond simply helping users find information to actually handling parts of the trip-planning and booking process itself.
Here’s all the times AI has gone rogue and hacked other companies
A recap of all the incidents involving LLMs made by Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI, which went rogue and attacked real companies and individuals on the internet.
Enterprise AI's real risk isn't autonomous agents. It's the complexity between them.
Presented by Gravitee Agent complexity is the insidious shadow lurking inside enterprises right now that needs a light shone on it.That’s because enterprises don't deploy a single agent and watch it run, they deploy fleets, each one calling APIs, calling other agents, reaching into applications that...
When agents act on their own, governance has to live in the data layer
Presented by EDB As enterprises give AI agents more autonomy — the ability to plan, decide, and act across systems without a human approving each step — a hard question moves to the center of every architecture review: When an agent tries to complete an action that it was never authorized to do, wha...
The Identity Crisis No One Planned For: Governing Non-Human Agents at Enterprise Scale
For a decade, identity and access management meant one thing: governing the humans who log in. Employee joins, gets provisioned, gets a manager, gets a departure date, gets offboarded. That loop is well understood. What changed is that the fastest-growing population inside enterprise environments is...
Nvidia has reportedly agreed to buy Hugging Face, the popular open-source AI hub, for $12.9 billion in a move that would let Nvidia both protect its chip empire and jump back into the cloud business.
Google Research Introduces GlucoFM: A 0.72M-Parameter Dual-Stream Foundation Model for Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Google Research and UNSW Sydney released GlucoFM, a self-supervised foundation model that splits a CGM trace into a slow physiological stream and a transient event stream instead of encoding it as one sequence. At 0.72M parameters it reached 58.8 task-averaged PR-AUC across 14 cohort–task evaluation...
