Meet Kyutai REKI: The 2.4B VLA Model Bringing Efficient Memory to Robot Manipulation
Kyutai, with Inria and École des Ponts, has released REKI, a 2.4B vision-language-action model (VLA) for robot manipulation. The REKI vision-language-action model is pretrained only on public data. It also carries a cheap memory of its recent past. On three out-of-distribution benchmarks, only model...
Replit makes OpenAI its default over Anthropic, CEO says
Over the weekend, Masad clarified that OpenAI would replace Anthropic as its default model provider. Claude will still be available to customers on the platform.
Ten quantization guides, and not one threshold-dependent metric between them — what that gap hides, and the two numbers that close it.

20 Jev Alternatives: The Decision Models Taking On TypeSafe in 2026
TypeSafe launched Jev on September 15, 2026. It is a decision model, not a chatbot. You define the allowed answers, and Jev returns a label, a score or a yes/no probability. In about 4 weeks, at least 20 Jev alternatives shipped. They come from Cloudflare, OpenAI, Perplexity, Liquid AI, AWS’s Strand...
Perplexity Open-Sources SPACE, a Firecracker MicroVM Sandbox for AI Agents
Perplexity has open-sourced SPACE, the sandbox platform behind every task in Perplexity Computer. The Perplexity SPACE sandbox gives each agent task its own Firecracker microVM. Credentials and outbound traffic are controlled from outside that VM. The code ships under Apache 2.0 on GitHub. For teams...

Physical AI is more than robots, says the Nvidia veteran now investing in it
Amulya Vishwanath, who spent seven years leading product marketing for NVIDIA’s robotics platforms, says robotics is currently in its “Lego era,” with the basic building blocks like actuators, robotic hands, software, and safety standards still being rebuilt. This view runs counter to those who bel...
Elorian’s first AI model wants to reason with images, not just about them
according to Elorian's evaluations, Glimpse outperforms even GPT-6 Astra on scientific chart reasoning and short-form video captioning, with competitive results on other visual reasoning tasks.
Ontology-Driven Observability: Building an End-to-End Knowledge Graph at Netflix Scale
Prasanna Vijayanathan, Renzo Sanchez-SilvaWhen Jake Paul and Mike Tyson stepped into the ring in November 2024, we delivered the fight to roughly 65 million concurrent streams.

JEV as a Hallucination Filter: Let the LLM Write, Let JEV Check
The majority of hallucination checks begin following the initial writing of an answer by the LLM. We then hold someone up to a second standard of judgment, or we hand over dangerous cases to a person. That works but that is looking at the solution only as one-off. What if the LLM generates five di...
FlowBudget: Training-Free Sampling-Budget Estimation for Flow Matching Models
arXiv:2610.20636v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Sampling from continuous flow-based generators such as flow matching models requires numerical ODE or SDE integration, making inference cost depend on the number of function evaluations (NFEs). In practice, the sampling budget is inherited from prior ...
