Anthropic’s 10 AI Agents are Redefining Finance Work
The headline may sound extreme here. Of course, Claude is not replacing CFOs tomorrow morning. But with the debut of Claude’s new Financial Services Solution by Anthropic, it has clearly moved to a new direction in the world of finance, one where AI does way more than crunch numbers or explain stuff...
Khosla-backed robotics startup Genesis AI has gone full-stack, demo shows
Genesis AI, a startup that raised a $105 million seed round to build foundational AI for robotics, has unveiled its first model, GENE-26.5, but also a demo showcasing a set of robotic hands performing complex tasks.

Eating My Own Dog Food: How I Used the Framework to Write the Post About the Framework
In “Don’t Automate Your Moat,” I argue that engineering organizations should match AI autonomy to two independent dimensions: business risk and competitive differentiation. I used AI Gateway cost controls as a worked example throughout the piece because a single feature touches all four quadrants de...
Jensen Huang called it "the ChatGPT moment for robotics." Deloitte says 80% of businesses plan to use physical AI within two years. Here is what you actually need to know, and do, to prepare…
Building a RAG system just got much easier. Google’s File Search tool for the Gemini API now handles the heavy lifting of connecting LLMs to your data. Chunking, embedding, indexing are all managed for you. And with the latest update, it’s gone multimodal. You can now search through both text and im...
NVIDIA Spectrum-X — the Open, AI-Native Ethernet Fabric — Sets the Standard for Gigascale AI, Now With MRC
The race to build the world’s most powerful AI factories demands networking that keeps pace with the ambitions of AI itself. NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet scale-out infrastructure stands at the forefront of that race as the most advanced AI networking technology available today, deployed by industry l...
Everyone is adopting AI coding tools. Engineers are writing code faster than ever. But are organizations actually delivering value faster? That’s not obvious. I wrote Enabling Microservice Success with a big focus on engineering enablement, guardrails, automated testing, active ownership, and light ...
Google AI Releases Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) Drafters for Gemma 4: Delivering Up to 3x Faster Inference Without Quality Loss
Large language models are getting incredibly powerful, but let’s be honest—their inference speed is still a massive headache for anyone trying to use them in production. Google just launched Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for the Gemma 4 model family. This specialized speculative decoding arc...
When Claude Hallucinates in Court: The Latham & Watkins Incident and What It Means for Attorney Liability
There is a particular kind of irony that the legal profession rarely gets to witness in such pristine form. In May 2025, Latham & Watkins a firm that routinely bills over $2,000 an hour for its partners and counts Anthropic among its clients filed a court declaration in Concord Music Group v. Anthro...
StateSMix: Online Lossless Compression via Mamba State Space Models and Sparse N-gram Context Mixing
arXiv:2605.02904v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present StateSMix, a fully self-contained lossless compressor that couples an online-trained Mamba-style State Space Model (SSM) with sparse n-gram context mixing and arithmetic coding. The model is initialised from scratch and trained token-by-tok...
eOptShrinkQ: Near-Lossless KV Cache Compression Through Optimal Spectral Denoising and Quantization
arXiv:2605.02905v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We show that the key-value (KV) cache in transformer attention heads admits a natural decomposition into a low-rank \emph{shared context} component and a full-rank \emph{per-token} residual, well described by the spiked random matrix model. This obser...
