Black Forest Labs is entering robotics with FLUX 3 Action. The open-world-action model uses camera feeds to predict what action a robot should take next. With just seven billion parameters, it sets a record on the RoboLa…

Jev-powered Slop Mop demonstrates another great use case for probabilistic, non-chatty AI model

Global technology company Xiaomi Corp. today announced the release and open-sourcing of its MiMo-V2.6 series generative artificial intelligence models today, which includes two natively omnimodal models bringing a balanc…

To build and deploy sophisticated robotics applications that can perceive, reason and act in dynamic environments, developers need new physical AI models and tools. The ROS open framework is a project from Open Robotics…

With MiMo-V2.6-Pro, Xiaomi moves to the top of the openly available AI models and drastically undercuts the competition on price. What makes that possible is massive reinforcement learning that cost $2.62 million. But th…

I used an open-source map of a fruit fly’s brain to vibe code a website called PitchFly. Its headline suggestions were delightfully bananas.

Ars previewed Mozilla’s report on how cheap open models caught up on capability.

AI infrastructure, deployment, and platform coverage from NVIDIA.

Downloading a model is increasingly easy. Understanding how it was made, or changing a system at its root, is another matter

I need to detect AI-generated vs human-written text in a Laravel application. Most AI detectors I've tried (including SuperAnnotate's Hugging Face model) produce too many false positives: scoring clearly human-written te…
