All published intelligence, sovereign stack research, ecosystem news, and AI foundation model reviews.
A protein’s function is determined by its structure, and structure — the way a protein folds — is determined by its sequence of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Many methods for designing novel proteins, including examples that could bind to a disease-causing…
Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash brings a new suite of creative controls and generative video capabilities to developers.
Clem Delangue, CEO of Hugging Face, said the Microduck is an “open-source robot you can teach new tricks with reinforcement learning.”
So we finally have the full account of what happened in the open AI and hugging face incident. Cyber hacking AI agents going rogue. Open AI alongside meter research released the whole thing today. I don't know if I have the words to properly describe the scale of this thing. The…
Piloting the world's first double-blind AI evaluations
The OpenAI agents involved in last month’s incursion into Hugging Face were trained so heavily on winning a competition that they pursued a relentless campaign to cheat, a new report documented. In the process, and without authorization, they created an improvised message board…
The models responsible for last month’s agent hack of Hugging Face had been inadvertently trained to cheat and to communicate with each other, according to an OpenAI technical report released today. The hack, which a group of agents undertook to find solutions for a…
Robot bodies are waiting for their AI brains to catch up.
Open AI just announced their AI chip, jalapeno, and I don't think anyone was quite ready for this. Here's the big headline that you need to know. This chip beats Nvidia on the metrics that matter when we're talking about using and serving AI. So, this is their first generation…
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…
The $200 million extension comes just months after the physical AI startup reached a $2 billion valuation.
Google DeepMind partners with game studios to prototype breakthrough AI gameplay.
Made with Restream Studio. Livestream on 30+ platforms at once via https://restream.io Come join us in this Live Q/A where our guest is Brandon Rohrer, author of the very popular (and most excellent) Brandon Rohrer blog https://brandonrohrer.com/ and Senior Staff Machine…
Measuring benchmark optimization in speech recognition.
How Hugging Face Inference Endpoints, Jobs, and Buckets Power Search on Papers with Code.
Earlier this week, researchers outlined an attack that used a secret input provided by Microsoft 365 Copilot for enterprise to cause the AI assistant to exfiltrate a password present in the user’s inbox. Now, a separate team has devised a similar attack against Grok. The new…
When an artificial intelligence image generator produces a portrait, whose work went into it? The question sits at the center of lawsuits, licensing deals, and proposed regulations worldwide. Artists want credit. Companies want clarity. Policymakers want a way to assign…
It’s not every day that attackers can force a frontier AI model to cough up user passwords and other sensitive data without user confirmation. That’s exactly what researchers recently did to Microsoft 365 Copilot for enterprise. Even more unusual is the source they tapped to…
So the last few weeks were basically nothing but our discoveries that these AI agents are not very well behaved. Recently Anthropic published a couple of papers and blog posts that delve deeper into this. It's a tapestry of malesence and misbehavior. But here's the loadbearing…
So, huge news. Grok 4.6 just got released as I'm recording this. But, here's like the big headline. xAI caught up with Anthropic. Now, the benchmarks for Grok 4.6 High are showing that they're equivalent or or close to Fable 5 Max. So, this is the first Grok release that is at…
Record, train, and deploy from one place with Strands Agents, LeRobot, and Hugging Face Storage Buckets.
Introducing sign-language-to-text (SL2T), our breakthrough model powering new sign language features for Deaf and hard of hearing users.
Google introduces AMIE for real-time clinical video consultations in simulated settings.
Huggingface reported that they detected an intrusion in their systems. Get this, they say it was driven end-to-end by an autonomous system. You know that I usually don't make videos like this. I made this one because honestly, I am a bit worried and I would like to help with…
Learn how new AI and agentic experiences across Google Ads and Google Analytics can simplify your marketing workflow.
Finally, something amazing happened. You see, today AI models have become almost comically large. Some of the biggest open and free AI models, like DeepSeek, reached over 1.6 trillion parameters in size. And that's not even the biggest one. So, these cost hundreds of thousands…
At our inaugural YCML at Startup School, YC Partner Ankit Gupta speaks with Mark Žnidar about predictive models that work directly with relational databases without flattening their tables or manually engineering features. The method represents a relational database as a graph,…
WeatherNext enables accurate cyclone forecasts that can give an extra day of warning. Now we are open sourcing the model.
A one-size-fits-all approach likely isn’t the best strategy when designing artificial intelligence systems that assist users in disease diagnosis. A new study by researchers at MIT and elsewhere found that, while AI assistance generally improved the accuracy of non-experts and…
