MIT physics professor Max Tegmark said a Wednesday closed-door meeting with a bipartisan group of U.S. senators left him "quite encouraged" that lawmakers are taking AI risk seriously, and he hosted a…
Researchers Haozhe Liu and colleagues at NVIDIA, NTU and MIT developed SoL-Pi, an agent harness built by running auto-research loops across many environments that retains four mechanisms: Action Fusio…
Anthropic released Bloom, an open-source MIT-licensed framework for automated behavioral evaluations of frontier AI models, alongside Petri, a companion tool for auditing risk interactions. Bloom's te…
Expected Parrot released a survey tool that lets a respondent upload a PDF of their paper, has a vision-capable model read it and prepare an interview guide, then sends the guide to an AI interviewer …
A developer released ALTK-Evolve, a long-term episodic memory subsystem that lets AI agents distill reusable guidelines from past interaction traces and inject only relevant ones at action time. Evalu…
A developer built Silo, an open-source (MIT), local-first TypeScript tool that grades AI agents on the state changes they make to a simulated world rather than on the text they produce. The developer …
Only 5% of companies report seeing a return on their AI investments, according to researchers with MIT's Project NANDA, despite $30–$40 billion in collective enterprise spending on GenAI. The finding,…
