Andrej Karpathy's 'autoresearch' technique lets AI agents optimize any metric overnight by running hundreds of experiments autonomously. One engineer applied the method to file compression, beating off-the-shelf tools fo…
Journalist Karen Hao reported in a Democracy Now! interview that OpenAI contracted Kenyan workers for a few dollars an hour to review graphic AI-generated text for safety filters, and a Google-linked data center in Chile…
The AI ecosystem's rapid pace is causing friction with slower-moving societal layers, leading to backlash and instability. Mike Migurski introduced Stewart Brand's Pace Layers framework to analyze how fast-moving AI comp…
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5 on June 30, 2026, but Roboflow evaluations show it ties with its predecessor Sonnet 4.6 on vision benchmarks at 70% accuracy, while being outperformed by Gemini 3.5 Flash (79%) and Clau…
The UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) found that standard AI benchmarks systematically underestimate agent capabilities by limiting compute budgets. In a study of seven benchmarks, increasing the token budget tenfold boo…
Pilot Photonics, a Dublin-based integrated photonics firm, has been awarded €10.4 million from the European Innovation Council Accelerator to scale its patented photonic chip technology for AI data centers, satellite com…
CLR announced the Safe Pareto Improvements (SPI) Fundamentals Program, an online course from August 3-28 to train researchers on mitigating AI conflict risks. The program aims to address the neglected area of SPI researc…
Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike hit all-time highs as investors rotated out of semiconductors into AI-security stocks, driven by Zhipu AI's open-weight model rivaling Anthropic's restricted model at finding software v…
Quantum computers cannot break Bitcoin's cryptography today, but advances from Google and IBM suggest the gap is closing faster than expected, raising the stakes for 'Q-Day' when a sufficiently powerful machine could cra…
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that the company's AI agent development has stalled despite massive investment, while its mandatory employee keystroke and mouse-tracking surveillance system worked flawlessly. The surve…
Віталій Міняйло, CEO Neurotrack, заявив, що штучний інтелект змінить не лише ринок праці, а й саму модель економіки, зокрема через автоматизацію рутинних завдань програмістів, бухгалтерів та юристів. Він наголосив на риз…
Towards AI open-sourced its production AI tutor app, used by students to ask questions about AI engineering, RAG, and agents. The release includes the full system for local running and customization, following a packed w…
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5 on June 30, 2026, touting it as its most agentic Sonnet yet with top-tier intelligence for coding and professional work. Introductory pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per …
Researchers at ICML 2026 presented a unified framework showing that parametric and nonparametric black-box optimizers are variations of a single update equation. By bridging this theoretical gap, they developed hybrid op…
A new decoding method called Context Gravity reweights next-token probabilities using semantic fields from embedding-space clusters, offering a custom logit-side intervention rather than a trained model. The approach int…
The first Shanghai International Embodied Intelligence Expo (CIEI 2026) opened July 2, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, featuring nearly 200 robotics and AI companies and drawing over 1…
Ajeya Cotra announced her departure from Open Philanthropy after nearly nine years, describing a decade-long pattern of grand visions followed by disillusionment and self-criticism. Despite feeling she never built anythi…
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) is investing $2.4 billion alongside EQT and its EdgeConneX data-center platform to build AI infrastructure, increasing its exposure to a sector with durable long-ter…
A commentator argues that artificial general intelligence (AGI) requires non-linear, relational dynamics beyond reductionist frameworks, suggesting that language weights in AI models encode hidden patterns that could ena…
Anthropic announced Claude Science, an AI workbench for scientists, and revealed plans to develop its own drugs targeting neglected diseases, marking one of the most direct attempts by a major AI company to enter drug de…
