On Monday, Pope Leo XIV released a 42,300-word encyclical titled *Magnifica Humanitas* addressing artificial intelligence, marking the 135th anniversary of *Rerum Novarum*. The document explicitly retires the just-war tr…
A new arXiv paper (2609.20068v1) unifies marginal utility, matrix factorization, and the transformer Key-Value cache under a single allocation rule that retains the top dimensions whose eigenvalue exceeds the shadow pric…
GeoTessera 0.10.0 and 0.10.1 have been released, moving hosting to the Source Cooperative with CloudFlare edge caching for improved stability and lower latency. The release follows a year of adoption for TESSERA embeddin…
Researchers propose DOW-KE, a method for editing a model's learned knowledge by directly optimizing weight updates across multiple layers, reporting stronger results than baselines in five of six model-dataset settings. …
A study using CT Foundation embeddings achieved a Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.791 for predicting distant metastasis risk in head and neck cancer, outperforming radiomics (AUC 0.772) …
Cian trained a neural network on a Raspberry Pi to read his gas meter and automatically notify his gas company, eliminating the need for manual readings. The system uses a camera and computer vision to discern digits on …
Anthropic researchers discovered that transformers like Claude develop an emergent internal workspace, dubbed J-space, which functions as a silent communication channel for complex reasoning without external scratchpads.…
SpaceX exercised an option to buy Anysphere, the company behind AI code editor Cursor, for $60 billion in an all-stock deal expected to close in Q3 2026. The acquisition raises concerns about Cursor's model-agnosticism, …
Joanna Stern, a former Wall Street Journal technology reporter, spent 2025 integrating over 100 AI-powered products into every aspect of her life, from therapy and marriage to parenting and work, as documented in her new…
Model routing, a technique that sends each prompt to the cheapest capable LLM, is cutting startup AI bills by 20 to 98 percent, with OpenAI's GPT-5 (August 2025) incorporating a real-time router that switches between fas…
Perceptron, a $21 million startup founded by former Meta researchers Armen Aghajanyan and Akshat Shrivastava, released Isaac 0.5, an open-weight model designed to handle perception, reasoning, and control for factory-flo…
Meta's AI research division released Brain2QWERTY in early 2025, a system that decodes typed sentences from non-invasive MEG brain recordings with 61% average word accuracy. The model reads neural signals associated with…
A LessWrong article argues that compression is a key driver of intelligence in large language models, using mathematical structure as an example. The author suggests that AI models like Claude Mythos can learn to make ab…
OpenAI's hardware team, led by Richard Ho, has disclosed measured performance for Jalapeño, its first custom inference accelerator built with Broadcom as design partner and Celestica handling board and rack integration. …
A team of developers built FraudLens, an autonomous GraphRAG fraud investigation and next-best-action agent that uses TigerGraph Savanna as its system of record, combining native GSQL algorithms with a LangGraph state ma…
A paper submitted to arXiv on 4 Sep 2026 by Julian Szymanski introduces a neural network-based method for estimating respiratory rate from ECG signals by exploiting Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA). The approach trains…
A Pew Research Center analysis of nearly half a million English-language webpages from the Common Crawl archive found that 10% of all pages as of July 2026 show significant signs of AI authorship, and over one-third of p…
A systematic review and empirical study of six deep learning models found that the training phase is the primary source of carbon emissions, and increased architectural complexity does not proportionally improve accuracy…
Researchers introduced DALMA, a probabilistic representation learning framework that jointly models acquisition-specific variability and biological supervision to learn biologically structured latent representations for …
Black Forest Labs and Mimic Robotics have connected an early version of FLUX 3 to industrial robots, creating FLUX-mimic, which is being tested and deployed with Audi on manipulation jobs involving components, seals, cab…
