Software engineer exfoca, founder of Orion Impact, introduced himself to the developer community and shared a side project called primordial-soup, an artificial life simulation in which tiny neural creatures evolve on th…
PrismML released Bonsai 2 27B, a ternary-weight compression of Qwen3.8 27B that cuts model size from about 56 GB to 5.9 GB while retaining roughly 98% of the original model's benchmark score. In a hands-on test on an M4 …
NIST published a paper by Apostol Vassilev in IEEE Security & Privacy (vol. 24, no. 3, May-June 2026) claiming to extend Gödel's incompleteness theorem to AI, arguing that for any finite set of AI guardrails an adversari…
Spirit AI co-founder and chief scientist Gao Yang predicted at the company's Beijing offices this week that humanoid robot intelligence could reach a defining breakthrough by mid-2027, but that robots will not enter ordi…
A paper submitted to arXiv on 17 Sep 2026 presents ALIBI, a semantic cover story attack that adds a small, non-executed read-only section containing a false security product narrative to compiled binaries, flipping 30 of…
A fixed softmax regression on MNIST trained with different optimizers lands anywhere from 41.1 percent to 90.7 percent accuracy depending only on how the weights are moved, according to a Stochastic Blog post comparing f…
NASA-developed software called the Transient Artifact and Continuous Learning System (TACLS) combines satellite data with machine learning to help the National Weather Service (NWS) spot flash-flood-prone areas sooner an…
TypeSafe AI introduced a training approach it calls RLCD (reinforcement learning from calibrated decisions), which it says makes models return decisions and probabilities rather than generated text, with outcomes assigne…
OpenAI says an internal AI system has produced a solution to the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize Problems that has stood for over a century. The cl…
Anthropic published a September 2026 snapshot of how it measures frontier AI development, reporting that Claude led 26% of its measured AI R&D work as of August 2026 with more than 90% at least collaborative, and that ro…
Cloud-based inference for robot AI models is a viable engineering path that could let generalist robots run models too large for on-board GPUs, according to an analysis arguing that scaling laws will continue to drive em…
Anthropic has established physical biology wet labs and hired bench scientists to let its Claude models conduct real-world drug discovery experiments, targeting rare and neglected diseases. The initiative sits under Clau…
Anthropic has built a wet lab in the San Francisco Bay Area to conduct physical biology experiments as it expands its AI drug program, Eric Kauderer-Abrams, the startup's head of life sciences, confirmed in a Reuters int…
The EU-funded MODELAIR project is developing AI-enabled 3D digital twins that predict urban air pollution at street level in real time, combining city geometry, computational fluid dynamics, reduced-order models and sens…
HiDream.ai launched HiDream-O1-World on Aug. 16, an interactive world model that accepts text, image and interactive inputs and scored 80.9 on WBench's Navi leaderboard, ranking first at the time and No. 6 as of Sept. 15…
Anthropic said on Thursday that its Claude chatbot now leads 26% of the company's research and development work and collaborates with human staff on more than 90% of tasks, warning that models accelerating their own deve…
