A new study by Harvard economist Rebecca Diamond finds that women taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are significantly more likely to gain employment, with the employment rate rising 27 percentage points after about 18 month…
Researchers from Cornell, Oregon State, and Syracuse universities demonstrated that BirdNET, a general-purpose deep audio embedding model trained primarily on bird calls, can robustly identify individual critically endan…
The Department of Energy's Genesis Mission aims to double U.S. research and development productivity within a decade by leveraging AI, high-performance computing, and quantum systems. Undersecretary Darío Gil announced t…
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5, a new AI model with advanced autonomous capabilities, available immediately across all plans and APIs. The model offers improved reasoning, tool use, and coding at a lower cost than th…
IBM Research introduced ScarfBench, an open benchmark for evaluating AI agents on enterprise Java framework migration tasks across Spring, Jakarta EE, and Quarkus. Tests of frontier coding agents showed low success rates…
Apptronik opened a 90,000-square-foot facility in Austin called Robot Park to collect teleoperation data from its Apollo 2 humanoid robots for Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics AI models. The company has raised over $935…
Meta introduced Brain2Qwerty v2, an AI system that decodes brain activity into text using non-invasive MEG scans, achieving 78% word accuracy in experiments with healthy volunteers. The research aims to help patients wit…
Transformer models develop outlier channels—feature dimensions with unusually large values in weights and activations—due to the softmax normalization in attention layers, which forces tokens to assign importance even wh…
Anthropic launched Claude Science, an AI research workbench integrating databases, tooling, and compute into a single environment. The platform includes over 60 scientific databases, renders 3D protein structures and gen…
Anthropic launched Claude Science, an AI workbench for scientists, in beta on Tuesday. The tool runs locally on Mac, Linux, or remote machines and aims to accelerate scientific research by integrating tools and automatin…
DeepSeek launched DSpark, an open-source speculative decoding module that boosts AI inference speed by up to 400% on existing chips, potentially reducing demand for Nvidia's high-end accelerators. The software, designed …
BlackRock downgraded emerging-market equities to neutral and upgraded short- and medium-term euro-area government bonds to overweight in its mid-year outlook, citing concentration risk from AI-related stocks and expectat…
Google launched a new visual treatment in AI Mode that places prominent links to recipe sites at the top of responses for relevant recipe queries, including images, creator names, ratings, and ingredient counts. The upda…

Giles Thomas built a JAX training loop for an LLM from scratch, using NNX and Optax, as part of a project to replicate GPT-2 small quality without referencing Sebastian Raschka's book. He trained a base model on 3.2B tok…
A study in Cell reveals that bilingual brains use a shared neural map to represent word meanings across languages, based on recordings from individual brain cells in the hippocampus. The findings suggest the brain stores…
RadixArk released Miles, an open-source PyTorch-native framework for large-scale LLM reinforcement learning post-training. The framework integrates SGLang for rollout, NVIDIA Megatron-LM for training, and Ray orchestrati…
OpenAI engineers cut inference costs for guest ChatGPT users by more than half, reducing the number of Nvidia GPUs needed to just a few hundred, according to a person familiar with the discussions. The optimization appli…
OpenAI released GeneBench, a benchmark of 103 multi-stage genomics problems, revealing that top AI models like GPT-5.5 Pro achieve only a 33.2% pass rate, with 60% of problems below 20% for current models. The benchmark …
