NVIDIA AI Releases Star Elastic: One Checkpoint that Contains 30B, 23B, and 12B Reasoning Models with Zero-Shot Slicing
NVIDIA researchers have introduced Star Elastic, a post-training method that embeds multiple nested reasoning models — at 30B, 23B, and 12B parameter scales — inside a single checkpoint, eliminating the need for separate training runs or stored model weights per variant. Built on the Nemotron Elasti...
Meet GitHub Spec-Kit: An Open Source Toolkit for Spec-Driven Development with AI Coding Agents
If you have spent time using AI coding agents — GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini CLI — you have probably run into this situation: you describe what you want, the agent generates a block of code that looks correct, compiles, and then subtly misses the actual intent. This “vibe-coding” approach can...
OpenAI Adds Chrome Extension to Codex, Letting Its AI Agent Access LinkedIn, Salesforce, Gmail, and Internal Tools via Signed-In Sessions
OpenAI has shipped a Chrome extension for Codex, its AI coding agent, enabling it to complete browser-based tasks directly inside Google Chrome on macOS and Windows — including interacting with signed-in websites, using Chrome DevTools, and running multi-step workflows across browser tabs.

A surreal pastel-on-canvas artwork exploring the human alternative to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation. The Hand That Wanders celebrates intuition, emotion, creativity, empathy, and imperfection through expressive textures and symbolic imagery, contrasting organic human expr...
Becoming AI ready: Building a company with 12 AI agents as my first hires
I left Google ten days ago to found my own company. It's been quite a journey figuring out how things work outside of the mothership, and I'm genuinely excited to share what I've learned from both sides of the house...
See what happens when creative legends use AI to make ads for small businesses
Today we're launching The Small Brief, an initiative bringing together four ad industry icons to champion a local businesses they love. Their mission is to build breakth…
Fighting Tool Sprawl: The Case for AI Tool Registries
As enterprise AI agent adoption scales, the absence of centralized, organization-level tool infrastructure is producing compounding costs. When adoption is built around optimizing for deployment speed, enterprises expose themselves to a combination of risks: duplicated engineering effort, security e...
7 signs your AI agent system needs to start building its own tools
Most AI agents are stuck in their ways. Built once, they repeat the same patterns regardless of the task at hand. But new research suggests a smarter path forward: agents that get sharper with every challenge they face...
Anthropic Introduces Natural Language Autoencoders That Convert Claude’s Internal Activations Directly into Human-Readable Text Explanations
When you type a message to Claude, something invisible happens in the middle. The words you send get converted into long lists of numbers called activations that the model uses to process context and generate a response. These activations are, in effect, where the model’s “thinking” lives. The probl...
OpenAI Releases Three Realtime Audio Models: GPT-Realtime-2, GPT-Realtime-Translate, and GPT-Realtime-Whisper in the Realtime API
Three purpose-built audio models expand what developers can build with live voice: reasoning agents, speech translation across 70+ languages, and streaming transcription.
The post OpenAI Releases Three Realtime Audio Models: GPT-Realtime-2, GPT-Realtime-Translate, and GPT-Realtime-Whisper in the Rea...
Build a CloakBrowser Automation Workflow with Stealth Chromium, Persistent Profiles, and Browser Signal Inspection
In this tutorial, we explore CloakBrowser, a Python-friendly browser automation tool that uses Playwright-style APIs within a stealth Chromium environment. We begin by setting up CloakBrowser, preparing the required browser binary, and resolving the common Colab asyncio loop issue by running the syn...
OpenAI launches new voice intelligence features in its API
The new features could be handy for customer service systems, but OpenAI says they have applications that work across a variety of other fields, including education and creator platforms.
LightSeek Foundation Releases TokenSpeed, an Open-Source LLM Inference Engine Targeting TensorRT-LLM-Level Performance for Agentic Workloads
Inference efficiency has quietly become one of the most consequential bottlenecks in AI deployment. As agentic coding systems such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor scale from developer tools to infrastructure powering software development at large, the underlying inference engines serving those req...
