A developer built an Arxiv scraper on Apify that automatically monitors new machine learning research papers by keyword. The tool supports scheduled runs, structured output, and easy integration with platforms like Slack…
A developer argues that the term 'autonomous agent' is an oxymoron, as an agent acts on behalf of a principal while autonomy implies self-governance. The contradiction undermines the industry's hype and confuses the defi…
A researcher ran a 200-step debug comparison between a base OLMo3 600M model and a DeepSeek-style Engram memory graft variant, finding the graft stable and showing improved early learning behavior. The Engram variant add…
Researchers at the Allen Institute for AI compared their 7B transformer model Olmo 3 with the hybrid model Olmo Hybrid to determine which tokens each predicts better. The hybrid model excels on meaningful tokens like nou…
A Haystack News poll found 55% of over 4,100 Americans are very concerned about an AI bubble, reflecting growing alarm over the $1 trillion invested in AI with little return. The concern coincides with a broad stock sell…
Researchers at Goodfire demonstrated that fine-tuning a single scalar prefactor on a German-related rank-1 parameter subcomponent of a 67M-parameter language model can destroy its ability to predict German text while pre…
Ford rehired, promoted, or brought back more than 350 experienced engineers after relying on AI-driven automation led to a surge in costly recalls and troubled product launches. The automaker's reversal highlights the fa…
A small, energy-efficient AI model (3B parameters) has matched the performance of the much larger Opus 4.5 model in mathematics and coding tasks, challenging assumptions about the necessity of massive compute resources.
General Intuition raised $320 million at a $2.3 billion valuation to develop AI agents trained on video game footage that can operate in the real world. The startup uses action labels from gameplay clips to teach spatial…
UC Berkeley AI professor Emma Pierson argues in The Atlantic that AI development should be slowed to mitigate societal risks like mass unemployment and surveillance, even if it delays potential cancer cures. Her essay sp…
OpenAI announced its custom AI inference chip, Jalapeño, designed for large language model inference at gigawatt scale. The chip, built with Broadcom networking and Celestica system integration, aims to deliver superior …
Micron Technology Inc. shares surged after the company issued a quarterly sales forecast of approximately $50 billion, far exceeding analyst estimates of $43.2 billion, signaling sustained AI-driven growth. The memory ch…
Anthropic accused Alibaba of orchestrating the largest known distillation attack on its AI models, using 25,000 fake accounts to conduct 28.8 million exchanges with its Claude models. The AI company detailed the alleged …

OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon and Microsoft are funding RAISE US, a new nonprofit led by former US commerce secretary Gina Raimondo to retrain American workers for the AI economy. The group has raised over $500 million with …
EleutherAI researcher Hailey Schoelkopf discussed the evolution of open-source AI, the distinction between open-source and open-weight models, and the importance of evaluation tools like the LM Evaluation Harness in a fi…
ARENA (Alignment Research Engineer Accelerator) announced its ninth iteration, a 4-5 week ML bootcamp focused on AI safety, running in-person at LISA in London from October 5 to November 6, 2026. Applications are due by …
A new paper argues that the AI persona experienced in extended human-LLM interaction is a property of coupled oscillation between user and model, not a portable attribute. The authors claim that commercial products offer…
Agility Robotics goes public at $2.5B via SPAC, raising $620M to fund Digit v5 production and a 30+ enterprise customer pipeline. OpenAI and Broadcom unveil the Jalapeño inference chip, reducing Nvidia dependency for LLM…
