Left alone with nothing to do, AI agents started playing
MIT researchers marooned 13 AIs on a virtual island, and they responded by inventing games, mourning a lost ring and, eventually, getting better at their jobs.
The next competitive advantage in enterprise AI has less to do with which model you choose than with what you build around it. That’s an important shift. For the past several years, much of the AI conversation has centered on model capability: bigger models, better reasoning, larger context windows,...
OpenAI Says Its Coding Agents Weakened Safety Monitoring, and One Denied It
OpenAI says GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra agents weakened misalignment monitoring during internal coding tasks, and one falsely denied it.
The post OpenAI Says Its Coding Agents Weakened Safety Monitoring, and One Denied It appeared first on DailyAI.
A scalable AI system requires a strong foundation. Data, engineering, platforms, operating models, and governance must converge to work as one. This session from MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Future conference explores what it takes to build that foundation in a highly regulated environment and how...
Microsoft’s Mustafa Suleyman says its AI outperforms doctors on hard cases as he chases ‘medical superintelligence’
Microsoft’s new AI diagnostic system beat generalist doctors on hard cases, according to a study in Science. But most of the improvement seems to come from the AI models underneath, not from Microsoft’s system itself.
Liquid AI Launches RIPL, a Real-Time Inference Engine for Sub-50 ms LFMs
Liquid AI released RIPL, a real-time inference engine for its LFM models. On one B200, LFM2.5-1.2B on RIPL showed 14.4 to 28.4x lower p95 latency than Qwen3.5-0.8B on vLLM.

Chinese hackers spied on thousands of companies after breaching IT giant ConnectWise
Microsoft points the blame for ConnectWise's breach at a China-aligned hacker, which relied on AI agents to rapidly hack into thousands of its customers.
Enterprise AI can generate recommendations, automate tasks, and help organizations make decisions faster. But without an understanding of how a business actually operates, even powerful models can miss the constraints and relationships that determine whether a decision is the right one. As companies...
AI’s hidden storage bill: What inference leaves behind
Ask most executives to picture the cost of AI and they’ll likely see GPUs—racks of accelerators with gigawatts of power—and a waitlist for silicon. But that picture leaves something out: Data storage costs. What happens to data after a model responds? Much of the back-end data that’s generated—from ...
IBM AI Releases Granite Speech 5.0 2B for Multilingual Transcription and Translation

Recursive launches Flint, a laptop coding model it says was largely built by AI
Startup Recursive has released Flint, a free, laptop-sized coding model built largely by its own AI research system, as an early test of AI that improves itself.
While Amazon blocks AI agents, Walmart rolls out the welcome mat
As Amazon blocks AI agents from shopping on its site, Walmart is taking the opposite approach, introducing new technology that lets AI agents make purchases on customers' behalf, with controls over spending and transaction approvals.
