Shopify debuts Canvas, a way to build online stores by chatting with AI
Shopify’s new Canvas site builder lets merchants create and customize their online stores by chatting with its AI agent Sidekick, while watching the changes happen in real time.
Photon held a funeral for mobile apps. Now it has $4.5M to help replace them with agents
The startup helps developers build AI agents that work over iMessage, SMS/RCS, email, and other messaging platforms. It's a bet that consumers will increasingly use agents instead of downloading apps.
This new qubit could be 100 times less error-prone in superfluid quantum computer breakthrough
A proposed qubit made with superfluid helium could cut quantum computing error rates by around 100 times by shielding quantum information from common forms of electromagnetic noise. If experiments confirm the predictions, the technology could eventually work alongside today’s superconducting qubits ...
This light-powered AI can spot deepfakes with nearly 98% accuracy
UCLA researchers built an AI system that uses light to analyze more than a dozen videos simultaneously, detecting deepfakes with nearly 98% accuracy. Its speed, low energy demands, and resistance to attacks could make it a powerful tool for screening the growing flood of AI-generated video.
The Future of Software May Be Conversational Rather Than Autonomous
The following article originally appeared on Robert Englander’s blog site and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. The software industry has become deeply focused on autonomous AI systems. Agents that can replace workers. Agents that can write software. Agents that can operate applic...
NVIDIA Releases Kumo Tabular: Open Tabular Foundation Models That Predict New Rows in a Single Forward Pass
NVIDIA has released Kumo Tabular, a new family of tabular foundation models (TFMs) for classification and regression. If you have followed TabPFN or TabICL, the setup will look familiar. The model takes labeled rows as context and predicts new rows in one forward pass. There is no training, no hyper...
OpenAI Releases GPT-6.1 Sol: Near-Astra Coding and Computer Use at One-Fifth of Astra’s Token Price
OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol on September 29, 2026, an upgrade to GPT-6 Sol. It reaches near-Astra results on agentic coding, computer use and professional work at one-fifth of Astra's token prices. It costs $2 input and $10 output per million tokens, and cached input drops to $0.10. It is available ...
Meta disputes claim that Muse read a user’s private messages without permission
Meta says its Muse AI agent cannot access a user’s Messages without explicit permission, disputing a journalist’s account that the agent read his private messages while the required Mac setting was turned off.
The following article originally appeared on Vanishing Gradients and is being republished here with the authors’ permission When an AI agent can explore a dataset, choose a modeling approach, run the analysis, and explain its findings, what should the data scientist do? Traditionally, data scientist...
MIT Transit Lab to develop an AI platform for public transit agencies
With $2.1 million funding from Google.org, the open-source Public Transit Intelligence Hub will unify public transit monitoring, operations, and passenger communication.
Able to defeat top-ranked human players and more efficient than other models, the new system could help decision-makers in military maneuvers or business negotiations.
