DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis proposed an 'Einstein test' for artificial general intelligence, requiring an AI to independently derive general relativity using only pre-1911 knowledge. He stated that no…
Researchers developed custom Triton kernels that accelerate JumpReLU Sparse Autoencoder inference by 2–14× on real SAEs, exploiting activation sparsity to skip zero entries during matrix multiplicatio…
Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton predicts AI will surpass humans in mathematics within 10 years, arguing math is a closed system like chess or Go. Hinton, who resigned from Google in 2023 over AI safety…
A new era of machine intelligence is emerging where artificial agents learn not from human data or solitary practice, but by interacting with each other inside learned world models. Researchers argue …
Spotify's data assistant handles over 13,000 conversations using a domain-expert-owned context layer. DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus closes nine Erdős problems. GitHub releases Spec-Kit for spec-driven d…
London Tech Week has been accused of masking structural problems in Britain's tech sector, with venture capitalist Adam French calling it 'complacency in conference form'. French criticized politician…
London Tech Week exemplifies the UK tech sector's complacency and negative self-narrative, according to Adam French. The event showcased politicians touting funding figures while serious investors wer…
A new paper from MiniMax, MaxProof, trains a model to write competition-math proofs and achieves high scores on IMO and USAMO problems, but a cross-verification experiment reveals that among proofs th…
DeepMind released DiffusionGemma, a new large language model that uses discrete diffusion to generate entire sequences in parallel instead of autoregressive token-by-token generation. The model achiev…
Google cofounder Sergey Brin said during a fireside chat at Google DeepMind Build Day that artificial intelligence will not make human achievement obsolete, citing the game of Go as an example. Brin n…
