US layoffs surged to 97,000 in May, the highest for that month since 2020, with employers attributing 40% of cuts to artificial intelligence, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Tech giants like Oracle and Google …
Google Research head Yossi Matias outlined the company's vision for AI-driven science, emphasizing tools like Gemini for Science and AI Co-Scientist that aim to amplify human ingenuity rather than replace scientists. The…
An anonymous GitHub user dumped over 20 zero-day proof-of-concept exploits against popular open-source tools including nmap, Ghidra, FFmpeg, VLC, Firefox, and Docker without prior disclosure to maintainers. The exploits …
An international consortium of researchers pooled brain imaging data from 273 adults across 11 independent datasets and found that psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD consistently increase functional connectivity betwee…
Two prominent Chinese hedge fund managers, Yang Dong of Wealspring and Shanghai Banxia, warned investors that the global AI rally has become a "super bubble" with a potential collapse imminent, citing overvalued companie…
A hospitalized individual is seeking collaborators for a machine learning project on Sudokus, aiming to build a dataset and eventually create an independent organization. The person is currently without a laptop but want…
Hong Kong is investing billions of dollars in AI projects, including a semiconductor centre, an AI subsidy scheme, and a data centre, but critics argue the city needs a broader vision and more realistic goals, as it cann…
A researcher updates their AI's Wick-Ledger study, mapping the runtime framework to familiar AI concepts like LLMs, chain-of-thought, self-consistency, and RAG. The framework reorganizes these techniques under a deeper r…
AMD Strix Halo cluster setup guide details how to configure a two-node system linked via Intel E810 RoCE v2 for distributed vLLM inference using Tensor Parallelism. The guide covers hardware prerequisites, host configura…
The AI buildout is bottlenecked by energy, not a shortage of electricity, but the inability to connect data centers to the grid. The interconnection process is backlogged, with median wait times jumping from 20 months in…
ARA Labs released the Agent-Native Research Artifact (ARA), a toolkit that makes AI-generated scientific research verifiable and auditable by structuring documentation and providing agent skills for capture, compilation,…
A new archive called Frontier Fiction Archive preserves speculative-fiction stories written by frontier AI models to enable comparison of model behavior over time. The project records provenance details such as model ide…
DeepSeek's DSpark paper reframes speculative decoding by grafting a speculative head directly onto the target model rather than training a separate draft model. The technique reduces layer duplication and is complementar…
Five AI models, a lookup table, and a human football fan predicted 72 World Cup group-stage fixtures. Claude Sonnet 4.6 won with 67 points, while GPT-5.5 tied the human at 52 points, and the simple Ranking Bot beat both.…
Anil Madhavapeddy spoke at the CHIA annual conference in Cambridge on AI for science and career guidance for young scientists, and wrote up notes from the first Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum held in London during Climate…
OpenAI released its strongest model, GPT-5.6 Sol, but restricted initial access to about 20 vetted partners under a June 2 executive order. DeepSeek open-sourced the training stack for speculative decoding, and a new pap…
Two new 2026 comparisons from DeepInfra and GMI Cloud conclude that the gap between open and closed LLMs has narrowed to 5-10% on overall capability, with no clean leaderboard existing. Closed models like GPT-5.2 and Cla…
Anthropic launched Claude Cowork in January 2026, a desktop agent for knowledge workers that automates research, file analysis, and document creation by operating on local folders and supporting scheduled tasks and plugi…
A new approach to coordinating multiple AI agents uses ticket-based queues and shared state to eliminate manual copy-pasting between tools, enabling automated handoffs without human intervention. The method addresses bot…
ByteDance's Seed research team released Seedance 2.5, a video generation model that produces 30-second clips in 4K resolution with support for 50 multimodal references, addressing key limitations in AI video production s…
