Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher who spent three years doing pretraining research at OpenAI and Anthropic, announced his resignation on X on Tuesday with a warning that people building advanced AI genuinely believe it could…
UnifoLM-ER-1, a 4B-parameter embodied reasoning model built on Qwen3-VL-4B, leads open-source models on seven of 16 multimodal perception and understanding benchmarks and matches leading proprietary models overall, accor…
A Google Quantum AI, Ethereum Foundation, and Stanford collaboration published a March 30, 2026 whitepaper showing that fewer than 500,000 physical superconducting qubits could break the 256-bit elliptic curve cryptograp…
A developer built a system that connects a biologically accurate fly brain simulation to a Pong game, finding that the brain did not learn to play despite producing behavior that appeared alive. The experiment was design…
A developer has mapped Jakob Nielsen's classic UX response-time thresholds onto voice AI, arguing that the 100ms and 1-second cliffs contract sharply in voice interfaces because silence carries no progress signal, with a…
A paper by Federico Barbero and co-authors, revised 13 May 2025 as v3 on arXiv, argues that Rotary Positional Encodings (RoPE) in Transformer-based large language models are not primarily useful for decaying token depend…
Deepseek released V4.1-Flash, a multimodal model with 552 billion parameters that cuts KV cache memory to a quarter of its predecessor's requirement, with only 16 billion parameters active per token. On the DeepSWE codin…
IBM and NASA released the open-source NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model on Thursday, an AI tool trained on more than 30 layers of data from nine instruments across four NASA missions, including the Lunar Reconnaissance Orb…
JulianFlux has open-sourced a research repository, julianflux-research, containing a Python prototype and adversarial benchmark that the project claims achieves a 0.0% hallucination rate where standard Euclidean RAG fail…
NASA and IBM launched the NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model on Thursday, an open-source AI model available on Hugging Face that outperforms widely used methods by up to 23% in identifying the moon's key geographic features…
IBM and NASA have developed an open source AI foundation model of the Moon, trained on a lunar dataset aggregating more than 30 spatially-aligned layers from nine instruments across four missions, IBM announced. A techni…
Non-invasive speech decoding remains constrained by the low signal-to-noise ratio of neural recordings, which makes fine-grained reconstruction of phonemes or individual words difficult, according to research motivated b…
NASA and IBM scientists say a powerful new AI model will map the moon's surface in more detail than ever before. The model is intended to produce higher-resolution lunar surface mapping than prior efforts, according to t…
IBM and NASA announced the open-source release of the NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model on September 10, 2026, one of the first publicly available foundation models for scientific exploration of the Moon. According to a NA…
A 499-neuron circuit extracted from MaleCNS v1.0, the Janelia-published CC-BY electron-microscopy reconstruction of a male fruit fly's central nervous system, was run as a reservoir on MNIST in PyTorch and MLX, matching …
A new method called AgentGrad applies intervention-guided prompt optimization to large language model-based multi-agent systems, according to the paper's abstract. The approach targets the prompt design of each specializ…
Google DeepMind researchers, with the University of Massachusetts Amherst and The University of Texas at Austin, published a paper titled "Autoregressive Ranking: Bridging the Gap Between Dual and Cross Encoders" proposi…
Software engineer Muhammad Zubair built Khatta-ka-LLM, which he describes as the first AI language model fine-tuned specifically for the Khattak Pashto dialect spoken in Pakistan's Karak, Nowshera, and Kohat regions. Usi…
Mechanistic interpretability researchers have abandoned the search for a single "One True Technique" after many-to-many neuron-to-concept mappings discovered in 2023 failed to transfer from artificially-simple 512-neuron…
A developer trained a 3.8-billion-parameter dense language model to a CORE score of 0.384 for a total budget of $998, according to an account of the Little LM project. The run relied on Grouped Query Attention to cut KV-…
