Pollen Robotics, the Bordeaux robotics team at Hugging Face, opened pre-orders for Microduck — a 25 cm bipedal robot where every movement is a neural policy trained in MuJoCo and exported to ONNX. At $399, it puts the full sim-to-real loop on a desk: 15 motors, camera, LiDAR, two IMUs, and an Apache...

There's a lot of capital pouring into the business of giving models away.

Vercel has open-sourced vgpu, the WebGPU library it built to ship the shaders on vercel.com. It treats .wgsl files as importable TypeScript modules, runs the same shader in the browser, in headless Node.js via Dawn, and in a deterministic CI mock, and ships a fullscreen effect in 25 KB gzipped. The ...

A federal judge ruled the Trump administration illegally labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk, handing the AI company a victory as its second Pentagon lawsuit continues in Washington.

Cohere has released Parse (parse-v5.0), a 2.3B-parameter vision language model that converts PDFs, slides and images into Markdown with HTML tables, bounding boxes and image descriptions. It runs at $1.50 per 1,000 pages through the API, or on dedicated Model Vault instances from $2,500 a month. Coh...

The updates indicate that Google is looking position to AI Mode as an AI travel agent of sorts, as it's moving beyond simply helping users find information to actually handling parts of the trip-planning and booking process itself.

Hugging Face is taking orders for the Microduck, a $399 tiny open-source duck robot that developers can train at home out of the box.

A recap of all the incidents involving LLMs made by Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI, which went rogue and attacked real companies and individuals on the internet.

Plaud's new 'agentic' earbuds are priced at $249.

Nvidia has reportedly agreed to buy Hugging Face, the popular open-source AI hub, for $12.9 billion in a move that would let Nvidia both protect its chip empire and jump back into the cloud business.

Google Research and UNSW Sydney released GlucoFM, a self-supervised foundation model that splits a CGM trace into a slow physiological stream and a transient event stream instead of encoding it as one sequence. At 0.72M parameters it reached 58.8 task-averaged PR-AUC across 14 cohort–task evaluation...

Z.ai has released GLM-5.3-Flash, the first natively multimodal model in the GLM-5 series — a 320B-total / 18B-active MoE with a 1,048,576-token context window, MIT-licensed weights on Hugging Face, and API pricing at $0.15/M input and $0.50/M output. It scores 84.3 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 63.4 on ...

Particle’s new podcast intelligence platform transcribes and analyzes more than 130,000 podcasts, making their conversations searchable on the web and accessible to AI agents through an API and MCP.

Perceptron offers an AI model that it says can help machines navigate the world while also providing in-depth visual intelligence.

Gates is mostly in the Responsible AI camp, but there are a few ideas in here we hadn't heard before.

Four falsifiable conditions for agentic coding replacing juniors, tested against METR, OpenAI, DORA and Stanford primary source evidence The post What Would Have to Be True for Agentic Coding to Replace Junior Engineers appeared first on MarkTechPost.

Z.ai confirms it is behind Ox Alpha, the mysterious open AI model topping benchmarks and leaderboards, and its weights are set to be released soon.

Robot bodies are waiting for their AI brains to catch up.

The startup came out of stealth with $6 million in seed funding and a plan to use LLMs and cybersecurity know-how to make AI queries coherent.

Arga has raised $10 million in a seed funding round that was led by General Catalyst, with participation from Box Group, Emergence, Gradient and SV Angel.

Runable says 60%–70% of its 1 trillion-plus token usage in the last 90 days came from paying customers.

When my oldest child was born, I immediately set up Gmail and Twitter accounts in her name. I broadly announced her birth online and proceeded to plaster her photo across all sorts of platforms. In short, I began creating her digital footprint long before she could stand on her own two feet.  Fast-f...

Puzzles and games have been central to AI development since the very beginning. Just as we humans like to test our smarts with crosswords or logic puzzles, developers can test how far models have advanced with a gaming gauntlet. The term “machine learning” was popularized in a 1959 article by the IB...

IBM has released Granite 4.2, a family of open reasoning language models in 3B, 8B, and 30B sizes, all under Apache 2.0. Every model exposes a thinking / low-effort / non-thinking switch and native tool calling. The 8B and 30B additionally go through an agentic RL block that trains them to edit code...
