The post Meet Drex Max: Nace AI’s Multimodal Decision Model for Computer-Use Agents with a Score 67.59...

AI labs have staked their reputations on model benchmarking — the supposedly neutral and accurate system of evaluations that are designed to measure whether one AI product is better than another. However, the methods behind these evaluations are complicated and still maturing, said Irene Solaiman, H...

Microsoft wants enterprises to closely watch the agents employees use with systems not controlled by AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Amazon wants to break Nvidia’s hold on PyTorch, the free toolkit used to build most AI apps, so that more developers run their apps on alternative chips like its own.

OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent that's become a popular alternative to Claude Code and Cursor. But hackers got into part of its online platform and stole some users’ API keys, and the AI tools it turned to for help kept refusing to look at the malicious code.

Eugenia Kuyda's newest startup Wabi is positioned to take advantage of an idea she had more than a decade ago. Wabi offers a personal AI assistant with a twist, free and downloadable to anyone today.

After drawing acquisition interest earlier this year, the Nvidia challenger raised $1.5 billion to remain independent.

Nvidia is leaning hard into the trend of enterprise companies wanting to run their own open models in their own data centers and also trying to make on-device, private AI agents a thing.

MiniMax has released M3.1 Flash, a 428B-parameter MoE model with about 23B active parameters and a 1M-token context. API pricing is $0.15/$0.60 per 1M tokens, with weights due October 23 The post MiniMax Just Launched M3.1 Flash: 428B MoE Agentic Model at $0.15/M Input appeared first on MarkTechPost...

In this article, you will learn what Python descriptors are and how to use them to build three types of controlled attributes: validated, computed, and...

This summer, I built a small experiment called ContextCue. The idea came from something I kept seeing during my internship. The engineers around me were using AI everywhere in the software development process. GitHub Copilot and Claude models helped with specs, code, reviews, and tests. The team als...

Raising a big round is the easy part. A deeptech founder explains how project-level budgets, evidence-based milestones, and AI-assisted analysis help every pound of R&D capital buy down real risk.

NVIDIA has released the full Run:ai GPU orchestration platform as open source under Apache 2.0. The release includes KAI Scheduler, CUDA 13.4 GPU fractioning, quota management, and a local Kind dev environment. The post NVIDIA Open Sources Run:ai Under Apache 2.0 for Kubernetes GPU Orchestration app...

Mistral released Timestral, a time series foundation model family from 5M to 209M parameters. The 209M model leads GIFT-Eval, TIME and fev-bench among zero-shot models and runs on CPU. The post Mistral AI Releases Timestral: A 209M Forecasting Model Family That Outperforms Google’s TimesFM-3 appeare...

An AI agent that reads the web pays 2 kinds of cost. The first is the retrieval charge: what a search or fetch API bills per request. The second is model processing: content passed from retrieved pages into an AI model consumes tokens, while reasoning and generated responses add further costs. TinyF...

After chatbot startup Character.AI filed for bankruptcy earlier this week, many of its employees will have the opportunity to take jobs at Disney. Character.AI’s former CEO Karandeep Anand recently became the entertainment giant’s first CTO, and the startup previously said that Disney had agreed to ...

Google Research released Harness2, an Apache-2.0 framework that rewrites an agent's harness at test time. One refinement step lifted GLM-5 by 11.5 points on WorkBuddy-Bench with no weight updates. The post Google Open-Sources Harness2, a Recursive Agent Harnessing Framework appeared first on MarkTec...

Voxel51 3.0 merges search, curation, annotation and evaluation of multimodal sensor data into one platform for physical AI teams. It adds Voxel51 Agent with 45+ MCP tools, dataset versioning, and a free self-service tier. The post Meet Voxel51 3.0: A Unified Multimodal Data Platform for Physical AI ...

New research can help AI models understand crystalline materials in 3D and reason about their properties.

A Meta spokesperson insisted that the updated terms did not reflect a change in the way Meta crawls the web.

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...

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.

DeepSeek has just released DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017, a new checkpoint of its V4.1-Flash model. It is live on the DeepSeek website, app and API. DeepSeek claims stronger scores, faster task completion and shorter outputs than the September V4.1-Flash release. The company calls it a Pareto improvement...
