Liquid AI Released LFM2.5-350M: A Compact 350M Parameter Model Trained on 28T Tokens with Scaled Reinforcement Learning
In the current landscape of generative AI, the ‘scaling laws’ have generally dictated that more parameters equal more intelligence. However, Liquid AI is challenging this convention with the release of LFM2.5-350M. This model is actually a technical case study in intelligence density with additional...
Yupp.ai shuts down after raising $33M from a16z crypto’s Chris Dixon
Less than a year after launching, with checks from some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley, crowdsourced AI model feedback startup Yupp.ai is closing its business, the company said Tuesday.
Exclusive: Runway launches $10M fund, Builders program to support early stage AI startups
Runway is launching a $10 million fund and startup program to back companies building with its AI video models, as it pushes toward interactive, real-time “video intelligence” applications.
On February 10, 2026, Scott Shambaugh—a volunteer maintainer for Matplotlib, one of the world’s most popular open source software libraries—rejected a proposed code change. Why? Because an AI agent wrote it. Standard policy. What happened next wasn’t standard, though. The AI agent autonomously resea...
DNA robots could deliver drugs and hunt viruses inside your body
DNA robots are emerging as tiny programmable machines that could one day deliver drugs, hunt viruses, and build molecular-scale devices. By borrowing ideas from traditional robotics and combining them with DNA folding techniques, scientists are creating structures that can move and act with precisio...
Alibaba Qwen Team Releases Qwen3.5 Omni: A Native Multimodal Model for Text, Audio, Video, and Realtime Interaction
The landscape of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has shifted from experimental ‘wrappers’—where separate vision or audio encoders are stitched onto a text-based backbone—to native, end-to-end ‘omnimodal’ architectures. Alibaba Qwen team latest release, Qwen3.5-Omni, represents a significant...
15% of Americans say they’d be willing to work for an AI boss, according to new poll
According to a Quinnipiac University poll, 15% of Americans say they'd be willing to have a job where their direct supervisor was an AI program that assigned tasks and set schedules.
Microsoft AI Releases Harrier-OSS-v1: A New Family of Multilingual Embedding Models Hitting SOTA on Multilingual MTEB v2
Microsoft has announced the release of Harrier-OSS-v1, a family of three multilingual text embedding models designed to provide high-quality semantic representations across a wide range of languages. The release includes three distinct scales: a 270M parameter model, a 0.6B model, and a 27B model. T...
15% of Americans say they’d be willing to work for an AI boss
Your human manager may soon be a chatbot. Across organizations, AI is being used to replace layers of management in what some are calling "The Great Flattening."
From Prompt to Prediction: Understanding Prefill, Decode, and the KV Cache in LLMs
This article is divided into three parts; they are: • How Attention Works During Prefill • The Decode Phase of LLM Inference • KV Cache: How to Make Decode More Efficient Consider the prompt: Today’s weather is so .
As more Americans adopt AI tools, fewer say they can trust the results
AI adoption is rising in the U.S., but trust remains low, with most Americans concerned about transparency, regulation, and the technology’s broader societal impact, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.
Mantis Biotech is making ‘digital twins’ of humans to help solve medicine’s data availability problem
Mantis takes disparate sources of data to make synthetic datasets that can be used to build so-called "digital twins" of the human body, representing anatomy, physiology and behavior.
Salesforce AI Research Releases VoiceAgentRAG: A Dual-Agent Memory Router that Cuts Voice RAG Retrieval Latency by 316x
In the world of voice AI, the difference between a helpful assistant and an awkward interaction is measured in milliseconds. While text-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems can afford a few seconds of ‘thinking’ time, voice agents must respond within a 200ms budget to maintain a natura...
Agent-Infra Releases AIO Sandbox: An All-in-One Runtime for AI Agents with Browser, Shell, Shared Filesystem, and MCP
In the development of autonomous agents, the technical bottleneck is shifting from model reasoning to the execution environment.
