Following the publication of his new book, Building Applications with AI Agents, I chatted with author Michael Albada about his experience writing the book and his thoughts on the field of AI agents. Michael’s a machine learning engineer with nine years of experience designing, building, and deployi...

By decoupling how agents work from how they’re trained, Agent Lightning turns each step an agent takes into data for reinforcement learning. This makes it easy for developers to improve agent performance with almost zero code changes. The post Agent Lightning: Adding reinforcement learning to AI age...

Promptions helps developers add dynamic, context-aware controls to chat interfaces so users can guide generative AI responses. It lets users shape outputs quickly without writing long instructions. The post Promptions helps make AI prompting more precise with dynamic UI controls appeared first on Mi...

BISC is an ultra-thin neural implant that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. Its tiny single-chip design packs tens of thousands of electrodes and supports advanced AI models for decoding movement, perception, and intent. Initial clinical work shows it can be ins...

Using AI to analyze Google Street View images of damaged buildings across 16 states, Stanford researchers found that destroyed buildings in poor areas often remained empty lots for years, while those in wealthy areas were rebuilt bigger and better than before.

Using AI-generated virtual populations, Microsoft researchers uncovered hidden cellular patterns that could reshape how we understand and treat cancer. The post GigaTIME: Scaling tumor microenvironment modeling using virtual population generated by multimodal AI appeared first on Microsoft Research...

Researchers have built a fully implantable device that sends light-based messages directly to the brain. Mice learned to interpret these artificial patterns as meaningful signals, even without touch, sight, or sound. The system uses up to 64 micro-LEDs to create complex neural patterns that resemble...

As the Women in Machine Learning Workshop (WiML) marks its 20th annual gathering, cofounders, friends, and collaborators Jenn Wortman Vaughan and Hanna Wallach reflect on WiML’s evolution, navigating the field of ML, and their work in responsible AI. The post Ideas: Community building, machine learn...

New research explores two ways to give AI agents stronger privacy safeguards grounded in contextual integrity. One adds lightweight, inference-time checks; the other builds contextual awareness directly into models through reasoning and RL. The post Reducing Privacy leaks in AI: Two approaches to co...

David Kirtley is a nuclear fusion engineer and CEO of Helion Energy, a company working on building the world’s first commercial fusion power plant by 2028.

The mall 0.2.0 update for R and Python introduces support for external LLM providers like OpenAI and Gemini. This version also features parallel processing for R users, the ability to run NLP on string vectors in Python, and a brand new cheatsheet.

Autonomous AI agents – once a sci-fi concept – are rapidly becoming a mainstream reality. These agents don’t just chat; they plan, reason, and act across digital environments to achieve user goals independently. As we move into 2025, the race to build these agents is in full swing, with tech giants ...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have come a long way since their early days of mimicking autocomplete on steroids. But generating fluent text isn’t enough – true intelligence demands reasoning. That means solving math problems, debugging code, drawing logical conclusions, and even reflecting on errors....

When starting their AI initiatives, many companies are trapped in silos and treat AI as a purely technical enterprise, sidelining domain experts or involving them too late. They end up with generic AI applications that miss industry nuances, produce poor recommendations, and quickly become unpopular...

OpenAI, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, xAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Google, Apple… all these companies are racing to build AGI by 2025, and once achieved, it will be replicated by dozens of others within weeks. The idea of creating a compressed knowledge base of humanity, extracting information, and iterating on...

The recent disruption caused by DeepSeek’s R1 model sent shockwaves through the AI community, demonstrating that Chinese AI advancements may have been underestimated. The model’s performance, rivaling some of the most advanced offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic at a fraction of the cost, signaled a...

When I talk to corporate customers, there is often this idea that AI, while powerful, won’t give any company a lasting competitive edge. After all, over the past two years, large-scale LLMs have become a commodity for everyone. I’ve been thinking a lot about how companies can shape a competitive adv...

AlignmentDec 18, 2024Alignment faking in large language modelsThis paper provides the first empirical example of a model engaging in alignment faking without being trained to do so—selectively complying with training objectives while strategically preserving existing preferences.

We are proud to introduce the {mall} package. With {mall}, you can use a local LLM to run NLP operations across a data frame. (sentiment, summarization, translation, etc). {mall} has been simultaneously released to CRAN and PyPi (as an extension to Polars).
