Alibaba’s Qwen team has released Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, an accelerated checkpoint of its open-weight Qwen-Image-2.1 model. It generates and edits images in 8 denoising steps instead of the base model’s 40-step default. For developers, that means 5x fewer denoising steps on the same 7B architecture, p...

OpenAI’s Decisions API is now in public beta on GPT-6 Luna. It returns typed probabilities, choices and scores about 10x faster than the Responses API, billing $0.10 per 1M input tokens with no output charges.

Moore sees a huge opportunity in consumer AI, particularly if the industry can tap into revenue streams beyond just subscriptions and API charges.

Ever since people first seriously contemplated giving machines an intelligence modeled on our own, there has never been any question that they would, like us, be able to say no. The sci-fi canon is full of stories of robotic disobedience. Most of these capers are, of course, cautionary.  But recentl...

Underdog Saluki 27B is a 7.89 GB, 2-bit GGUF of Qwen3.8-27B under Apache 2.0. It beats the 54 GB original on tool calling but gives up ground on competition math and reasoning.

For develop...

Friday, October 16, 2026 Can AI design new life forms? In 2025, Stanford University PhD student Samuel King came up with a preliminary answer when he used a generative AI model to propose genetic blueprints for microscopic viruses. It isn’t yet an example of AI-generated life, but that could be next...

The company behind the popular LMArena leaderboard has raised $200 million led by Lightspeed and Khosla, and is now measuring AI models on alignment issues such as lying.

Natura’s $99 Interface smart ring lets you summon AI agents with the press of a finger to complete tasks, capture thoughts, and control devices — while doubling as a health tracker.

Goodfire just launched what it says is a cheaper way to keep AI agents in check: instead of paying a second AI to read everything an agent does, its monitors peek inside the model while it works and only call in backup when something looks fishy.

Zach Yadegari, the teen co-founder of popular Cal AI calorie tracking app, has launched a new personal AI agent startup that competes with Instinct, Muse and Bee.

Boyu Capital and IDG Capital led the funding round, and existing shareholders Tencent, HSG (formerly known as Sequoia China), ZhenFund and others also participated.
