'Jev' doesn't chat. It produces typed probabilistic decisions

Artificial intelligence agents have become table stakes in enterprise software, but in financial reporting, audit and compliance, speed counts for little if the output cannot be defended. That gap between capable and cor…

Internal audit can help companies determine how quickly to automate business processes. That role grows more consequential as AI takes on work that requires clear controls and accountability. At Newell Brands Inc., audit…

Each frontier AI company commits to giving ongoing, employee-like access to a team of embedded third-party evaluators (such as METR ), whose role is to verify adherence to safety practices and commitments, report inciden…

Apple Reference Image is like giving your photos a tamper-proof seal.

Agentic LLM systems that generate code through multi-turn tool use face a fundamental context problem: each session starts from zero, discarding the configuration choices, domain constraints, data schemas, and tool-use p…

Enterprise data lakes accumulate tables faster than human stewards can document or classify them, leaving columns with missing descriptions and unassigned governance labels. This documentation debt undermines data discov…

Diffusion large language models are a compelling alternative to autoregressive models, yet existing RL methods for diffusion treat all denoising steps as equally important and rely on biased, high-variance likelihood est…

Discrete flow matching generates text by iteratively transforming noise tokens into coherent language, but may require hundreds of forward passes. Distillation uses the multi-step trajectory to train a student to reprodu…

Conversational Large Language Models are post-trained on language that expresses specific behavioural traits, such as curiosity, open-mindedness, and empathy, and values, such as helpfulness, harmlessness, and honesty. T…

The ad regulator said it had "zero-tolerance" for ads promoting AI tools that could sexualise or objectify women.

I'm working on a simulation of a motor that is attached to a wing (Later, this will also have a real-life counterpart once I'll assemble all the components in our lab), and I can control the forces/torques that the motor…

Tool: Gemini Live audio Google released Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking today - two new speech-to-speech models that are a similar shape to OpenAI's GPT-Live family. I pointed GPT-6 Astra Extra High at the…

Know everything. Do anything. That was the message NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang brought to Salesforce Dreamforce Tuesday, joining CEO Marc Benioff onstage in an appearance that coincided with the announcement of K…

Given vector A and vector B, which would be the better approach for getting top k embedding vectors such that they are similar to embedding vector A and dissimilar to vector B. Approach 1: calculate f(V) = cosine_similar…

Status : written in a hurry as people are getting showered with interviews re AI Safety and superintelligence, and I thought it may help a few people. This is focused on the oral dimension of communication and assumes yo…

Weather-sensitive industries increasingly have access to observations that offer an earlier, more local view of changing conditions. Energy companies collect...

Pizza Bot runs locally and lets users interact with AI agents in an email-like interface. Perfect for blowing them off just like your human colleagues!

Good Start Labs trained an AI on a railroad game — and one version improved at financial research. The difference was the training design.

Calls for an AI slowdown come as enterprise demand is building for cheaper and unregulated open source models from China.
