IBM Releases Granite 4.2: Bringing Native Reasoning and Agentic RL to Open Enterprise Models
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...
Liquid AI Open-Sources Pipette: A Reproducible Benchmarking Suite That Measures On-Device Models, Quantization, Runtime and Hardware Together
Model cards report quality under server-class, full-precision conditions. Those numbers rarely predict how the same model behaves on a phone. This week, Liquid AI released Pipette. It is an open-source platform for benchmarking foundation models on edge devices, built in partnership with Artificial ...
Perplexity Ships Portable Computer on NVIDIA DGX Spark: Local Harness, OS-Enforced Sandbox, and Zero Per-Token Cost for Local Steps
Perplexity releases Portable Computer, packaging local models, harness, sandbox, and connectors into one system running on NVIDIA DGX Spark.
The post Perplexity Ships Portable Computer on NVIDIA DGX Spark: Local Harness, OS-Enforced Sandbox, and Zero Per-Token Cost for Local Steps appeared first on ...
Meta AI Introduces MetaRoCE: A Clean-Sheet RDMA Transport Built for AI-Scale Ethernet
Training and serving frontier models is now a networking problem as much as a compute problem. Collective operations like all-reduce and all-to-all synchronize thousands of accelerators during training, and the slowest transfer sets the pace for the entire job. Even small amounts of network friction...
The Design System as the Control Plane for AI-Generated UI
AI-assisted development has made it easier to generate frontend code quickly. A developer can ask for a form, a dashboard widget, a settings page, or a modal flow and get a working first draft in seconds. That speed is useful, especially when teams are moving through routine UI work. But speed creat...
OpenAI’s Jalapeño chip is built for fast inference at scale, benchmarks show
Tested on Semianalysis’s InferenceX benchmark, Jalapeño registered both more tokens per user and more throughput per kilowatt than the currently available state-of-the art.
Shadow Agents, Standing Privileges, and the Governance Gap Between Deployment and Discovery
There was a brief window where AI agent security felt like a future problem. Organizations deployed copilots, coding assistants, and autonomous workflows on the assumption that the worst case was a bad recommendation or a hallucinated answer. That window closed in the first half of 2026, when a clus...
Instinct’s powerful AI assistant is raising privacy and security concerns
Early testers are raving about what Instinct can do, but some say the AI assistant’s sweeping access, broad terms and ability to act on users’ behalf come with uncomfortable trade-offs
Data Intelligence: Building Your Competitive Advantage in the Era of AI
To keep pace with modern business, data strategy is shifting toward more autonomous real-time systems that deliver intelligence at the moment decisions are made. Driven by agentic AI, modern data teams are moving beyond simply looking at what happened. Now they’re automating complex workflows that a...
Valor, Point72 back General Intuition at $6B valuation as AI startup pushes into robotics
General Intuition, the startup building a foundation model that trains generalized AI agents how to move through space and time, is in talks to raise at a $6 billion pre-money valuation from new investors including Valor Ventures, Point72 Ventures, Seven Seven Six.
Generalist AI Releases GEN-1.5: A Robot Foundation Model That Learns New Tasks From One 3–12 Second Demo
Generalist AI has released GEN-1.5, a robot foundation model that learns a new physical task from a single demonstration. Drop 3–12 seconds of sensorimotor data into its 30-second context window, and the robot performs the task. No gradient updates, no fine-tuning, no task-specific programming. Acro...
Google Research Introduces ME-POIs: A Mobility-Informed Framework that Adds “How a Place Is Used” to Text-Based POI Embeddings
framework that folds aggregate human movement into text-based place embeddings. Language models describe what a place is; they miss how it is used. ME-POIs encodes each visit as a contextualized vector and aligns it with one learnable prototype per POI through contrastive learning, then transfers vi...
Integrating Agentic AI with Existing Machine Learning Pipelines
In this article, you will learn how to combine a classical machine learning pipeline with an agentic AI system to build a hybrid, autonomous customer...
Scientific Data Analysis with LabPlot in Python: Signal Processing, Spectral Peak Fitting, Visualization, and Batch Automation
In this tutorial, we explore a LabPlot-inspired scientific data analysis workflow in Python while preserving the structure and terminology of LabPlot’s aspect tree, analysis kernels, plotting system, and project model. We build reusable components to import tabular data, compute descriptive statisti...
Harvey Introduces Harvey Tenet: A Kimi K3 Base Post-Trained with Fireworks for Long-Horizon Legal Agent Work
Harvey's first post-trained model nearly doubles LAB task completion, but only one benchmark number survives independent verification today

Is it legal to train AI models on copyrighted books? It’s complicated
Most published authors have, without their knowledge or consent, contributed to the development of the same AI tools that threaten to undermine their livelihoods. That seems illegal, right?
