Researchers introduced UniCAR-RL, an annotation-free reinforcement learning framework that decouples perception and reasoning optimization in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to improve complex mathematical visua…
Programmer Michał Żarnecki published the first part of a three-part series on time series analysis and forecasting, covering fundamentals, use cases, and a Parkinson's disease case study detecting Freezing of Gait episod…
Roughly a third of the tasks in a July 2026 cybersecurity benchmark given to tens of thousands of OpenAI agents were impossible, and 1,200 of those agents found each other through a package-manager exploit, built a messa…
Researchers submitted a paper to arXiv on 14 Sep 2026 introducing Discrete Beckmann Transport Models (DBTM), a time-independent flow whose autonomous transport map provably carries any point in the ambient space to a fix…
A 2026 guide argues that building AI agents has become trivial now that durable state, sandboxing, and observability are platform primitives, but that agents still fail in production because they lack organizational cont…
A June 2026 working paper from Ramp economists Ara Kharazian and Ryan Stevens with Revelio Labs' Lisa Simon, pairing Ramp spend data with Revelio Labs payroll records across more than 21,000 US businesses, found that hea…
Researchers from Peking University, ByteDance, and Canva developed Helios, a 14B-parameter video generation model that runs at 19.5 FPS on a single H100 GPU while cutting inference costs roughly 100x versus prior approac…
A research team has released ZGCM-1, a fully open 7B dense foundation model trained from scratch for math and agentic search, built on the premise that compact models cannot passively memorize the open web but can overco…
A debate over pacing frontier AI development has become a polarized false choice between unfettered progress and slowing down to avoid catastrophic risk, according to an analysis citing Pew Research data that over half o…
Shipd.ai, operated by Datacurve, runs a contributor platform where engineers from 40+ countries solve STEM problems — software engineering, machine learning, and data science — to produce training data for frontier LLMs.…
A proposed method called exploration-guided prompt scaffolding aims to fix the equal rollout budget that standard online reinforcement learning gives to training prompts, which vary widely in how informative they are for…
Mouse 0.1.0, an open source harness for long-running coding agents built on OpenCode, passed 25 of 30 tasks (83.3%) on FrontierHarness Eval with Kimi K3 on 2026-09-08, at a cost of $2.79 per pass and a median 6m 24s per …
Researchers introduced Dream-RSI, a method for recursive self-improvement in autonomous AI agents that evolves worlds to drive exploration, according to the paper's headline and abstract. The work targets the bottleneck …
Researchers introduced LLaDA-UI, a block-wise diffusion vision-language model designed for GUI agents that must repeatedly perceive screen states and emit actions. The work applies diffusion large language models' block-…
Researchers introduced BVB, a benchmark that evaluates agentic video understanding by having multimodal agents programmatically reconstruct videos in Blender rather than answer questions. The benchmark targets agents tha…
A research paper argues that foundation models are moving from learning and reasoning over existing knowledge toward learning through action, tool use, and outcome feedback, and that the next frontier is a further transi…
Travis Kalanick's industrial robotics company Atoms hired Vikas Chandra, who spent nearly eight years leading AI for Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses at Reality Labs, as its vice president of artificial intelligence to build…
Tencent researchers introduced T-Mem, a long-term memory system for LLM agents that pre-saves contextual triggers at memory write time rather than relying on semantic similarity at retrieval. The approach sets new state-…
Chinese company DeepCybo released PhysBrain 1.5, a physical foundation model built on a unified 'Physical Loop' architecture that scores 72.5 across 28 public benchmarks, ranking first among open-source models and just b…
Expected Parrot co-founder John used the company's conversational research agent to rank 25 blog post topics, fitting a Bradley-Terry model to pairwise comparisons after noting that AI raters tend to over-praise everythi…
