I’ve spent close to a decade watching this industry build conversational AI, first through Chatbots Life, then running the Chatbot…Continue reading on Chatbots Life »

OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, positioning it as a computer-use flagship rather than a chat model. It reports 72.6% on OSWorld V2-Offline, replaces Codex compaction with searchable notes, and ships a 1.05M-token context at $10/$50 per million tokens. It is also the first OpenAI mo...

Most teams building a shopping assistant or agent rebuild the same scaffolding: an agent loop, a tool layer over the catalog, an approval gate, and an eval suite. Anthropic has now released that scaffolding as code. This week, they published anthropics/commerce-agents, a reference blueprint containi...

Perplexity has shipped hybrid compute for its Mac app, splitting a single Perplexity Computer task between frontier models in the cloud and a compact model running on the user's machine. Tasks start in the cloud for search, planning and reasoning, then hand sensitive steps down to the Mac without re...

Abliteration.AI is making powerful AI models without guardrails easier to access, arguing that giving defenders the same tools as bad actors could ultimately improve cybersecurity.

Most AI tools allow you to opt-out of sharing your usage with the model provider to improve future versions. Meta has taken that idea and put a price tag on it. For its new Muse Spark model, intended for operating coding and other agents, it is offering an explicit discount averaging out to about 95...

OpenAI claims that Astra represents "a new frontier on computer and browser use," and that it handles tasks with unmatched "speed, accuracy, and safety."

The family-focused AI assistant wants access to the details of your everyday life, but says it won’t use that data to train AI models or share it with others.

Frontier intelligence is going local. At IFA 2026, NVIDIA, Microsoft and its partners are teaming up to provide faster inference and new tools that make agents easier to set up and run locally on NVIDIA hardware. New compact NVIDIA RTX Spark Windows PCs are also coming in October to give AI enthusia...

Turning a trained churn classifier into a FastAPI service that other software can actually call. The post My Model Worked Perfectly. Then I Tried to Make It Useful. appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Scientists at Google Deepmind and Google Research released a new artificial intelligence model for weather forecasting today that sees our changing atmosphere more clearly and predicts its behavior more often. WeatherNext 3 is the latest wave of a sea change in meteorology brought out by deep learni...

September is here with 28 more games streaming on GeForce NOW this month, led by a slam dunk: NBA 2K27 with the NVIDIA DLSS 5 3D-Guided Neural Rendering feature. Through NVIDIA’s close collaboration with Visual Concepts and 2K, DLSS 5 brings a new level of lifelike lighting and material detail to th...

Nvidia said Hugging Face hosts over 3 million models and is used by over 18 million developers.

I built a prompt dependency graph that separates everything a component can reach from the smaller set that actually needs targeted evaluation. The post Changing One Prompt Can Affect 50 Others — I Built a Prompt Dependency Graph to Find What Needs Retesting appeared first on Towards Data Science.

A curated, linear pipeline of high-signal free resources that takes you from backpropagation basics to deploying production-grade LLM applications.

Using GPT-6 Astra, Playco built three themed game prototypes from one grey box foundation and reported 50% fewer manual fixes than with the previous model.

I’m excited to announce that NVIDIA has agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12,930,300,000. Together, we will scale Hugging Face’s platform, strengthen its infrastructure and expand access to AI for developers and institutions worldwide. Over the past decade, Clem, Julien, Thomas and the team at Hug...

OpenCode is open source and works with any model, but those are no longer its most interesting features. Model choice is table stakes. What sets OpenCode apart is its architecture, and the trade-offs that come with it, especially if you are coming from Claude Code.  In this article, we look at what ...

Introducing GPT-6 Astra, our most intelligent and aligned model yet, with state-of-the-art capabilities across computer use, coding, cybersecurity, and science.
