Google Cloud expands its enterprise AI push with Accenture, betting on forward-deployed engineers to drive adoption and overcome deployment bottlenecks.

Over the past several years, I have worked through three successive generations of intelligent retrieval systems, each solving problems the previous generation could not. Here is what I have learned.

The way we build interfaces is changing. As AI agents write more of our code, the tools we use to render that code may need to change too.

AI is changing how fast organizations can move. Ideas that used to take months to build now take days, sometimes hours. That sounds like good news, and it is. But it creates a new problem. When execution is fast, teams can move in many directions at once. Marketing can ship a new campaign, product c...

The French AI lab has raised €3 billion at a €21 billion valuation in a Series D round led by Samsung, Scaleup Europe and PSG Equity.

Explore five free ways to access AI coding agents, proprietary coding models, and open-weight models without paying for expensive subscriptions or GPUs.

As LLM applications grow more complex, inference cost and latency become increasingly important. A single request can contain thousands or even millions of tokens from system instructions, conversation history, retrieved documents, tool definitions, and user input. Reprocessing the same information ...

A context window can be technically complete and still describe a world that no longer exists. I built a deterministic benchmark to measure the cost of acting on stale context. The post Context Windows Don’t Know What’s Still True — I Built a Validity Layer That Does appeared first on Towards Data S...

Danijar Hafner’s office in San Francisco’s SoMa district sits mostly empty. His brand-new startup is still in stealth mode and doesn’t even have its name on the door. On the day I visit, there’s only one other person there, and little in the way of furniture. But what it lacks in decor, it makes up…...

We look at r-1, the document parsing model Reducto released on September 1, 2026. We walk through how it folds OCR, layout detection, tables, formatting and grounding into one full page pass, replacing the multi stage agentic pipeline it ships alongside. We break down the two numbers that matter for...

OpenAI is expanding support for journalism with tools, training, and partnerships for students, educators, journalists, and news organizations.

Part 3: We turn a messy creative archive into a searchable library using a manifest, Weaviate, and hybrid search.

Last week, a GitHub notification arrived while I was asleep: a bug had been reproduced in staging, documented with screenshots, and assigned to the right engineer. A bot I set up four days earlier did the work overnight. That is the gap Grok Bot is designed to close. Instead of suggesting what to do...

OpenBMB has released MiniCPM5-2B, a dense causal language model with 2,516,756,480 parameters and a native 131,072 token context. It averages 53.9 across the 34 benchmarks in its model card, ahead of Qwen3.5-4B at 51.1, with its clearest leads in tool use, coding agents and long-context retrieval. P...

Robot datasets have grown far slower than the models trained on them, mostly because collection stays locked to lab hardware. AXIS moves demonstration collection into a web browser and pushes everything expensive to backend GPUs. The result is 207 tasks and 50,129 verified Franka trajectories, and c...

An evocative oil painting capturing solitude and reflection—an elderly woman sits at the edge of an unmade bed, gazing through a rain-streaked window. The interplay of warm candlelight and cool daylight conveys the quiet tension between memory and melancholy, inviting viewers to contemplate time, lo...

Most open model launches release one checkpoint and a benchmark table. The Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) released something wider last week. IFM is the frontier lab launched by MBZUAI in May 2025. K2 Horizon is a fleet of six models: 375B-A23B, 36B-A4B, 32B, 7B, 3.7B and 0.9B. Shipping alongs...

arXiv:2609.04298v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating agents on the growing number of agentic benchmarks is challenging because they often require complex environments and agent integrations. We introduce Harbor Adapters, a unified evaluation infrastructure for agentic benchmarks. Our work mak...

arXiv:2609.04264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models have become increasingly popular as a method to predict and plan in latent space rather than pixel space. Recent architectures, such as LeWorldModel (LeWM), jointly train the encoder and predictor using regularization techniques li...

arXiv:2609.04265v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing post-hoc explainers for machine learning classifiers primarily focus on feature attribution, assigning importance scores to individual features. While valuable, this approach struggles to articulate the complex, combinatorial patterns that of...

arXiv:2609.04267v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aerodynamic surrogate models trained on high-fidelity CFD data reproduce numerical predictions of both scalar outputs and entire fields accurately, yet their predictive fidelity is limited by systematic discrepancies between CFD and experimental obser...

arXiv:2609.04271v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wi-Fi-based human activity recognition (HAR) has become an important part of integrated sensing and communications, paving the way for a range of context-aware services. However, most existing Wi-Fi-based HAR systems rely on deep learning (DL) models ...

arXiv:2609.04239v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This technical report presents EXAONE Forecast for Finance (EXAONE Finance), a financial time series (TS) foundation model (TSFM) tailored to financial forecasting. Recent TSFMs achieve strong zero-shot performance through large-scale pretraining. How...

arXiv:2609.04304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Iris-mini and Iris-pro, two search agents trained at the 35B-A3B and 397B-A17B scales, together with the data pipeline and training recipe behind them. Tasks are reverse-constructed from the hyperlink structure of a web corpus: we author mu...
