Code maintainability has plummeted in the AI coding era, with code duplication up 81% and code reuse down 70%, according to a GitClear and GitKraken study of 623 million code changes from 2023 to 2026. Legacy refactoring…
In 2026, running large language models locally has become practical and cost-effective for many use cases, with open-weight models matching mid-tier cloud APIs on benchmarks and consumer GPUs capable of hosting 70B-param…
BottleCap released the Thinking CAP model series, a fine-tuned version of Qwen3.6-27B that reduces reasoning tokens by 46% while maintaining benchmark performance. The model aims to cut inference costs and latency by eli…
Sony Interactive Entertainment leadership called AI an "important foundational technology" supporting its strategy, emphasizing that AI tools improve development quality and speed rather than cost efficiency. The company…
Researchers at Aalto University used machine learning to accelerate the discovery of two new kagome superconductors, YRu3B2 and LuRu3B2, with critical temperatures of 0.81 K and 0.95 K. The study, published in Physical R…
A team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a Cybersecurity AI Scientist, an autonomous AI agent designed to automate security research, addressing the slow, manual nature of current security research. The con…
Artificial intelligence is forcing society to confront deep social disconnection, as algorithms and platforms intensify fragmentation while offering tools for community rebuilding. AI can revitalize local economies and c…
Microsoft is cutting 3,200 Xbox jobs and spinning off five gaming studios after a $69 billion Activision Blizzard acquisition and $20 billion in expansion failed to generate growth, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced. The la…
Nvidia became the first company to reach a $5 trillion market capitalization on October 29, 2025, driven by its early bet on parallel computing through CUDA in 2006. The company's chips, initially used for gaming, became…
The MiMo-V2.5 model family introduces Hybrid Sliding Window Attention (Hybrid SWA) to reduce KVCache storage to roughly 1/7 of Full Attention, sparse MoE activation to cut per-token compute, and multimodal encoders for c…
NVIDIA and Hugging Face are collaborating to integrate NVIDIA's Isaac GR00T 1.7 model and Isaac Teleop framework into Hugging Face's LeRobot open-source robotics library, with NVIDIA Cosmos 3 planned for future release. …
A new study reveals that connecting an AI agent to more than 20 MCP tools causes accuracy to collapse to 13.62%, with excessive token consumption. Researchers found that tool count is not a free upgrade, and reliability …
Tencent released Hy3, an open-source 295B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 21B active parameters and 256K context length, under the Apache License 2.0. The model achieves state-of-the-art results on coding and rea…
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 model refused mid-tool-call on 11 of 44 coding-agent turns in a Synthorai evaluation, on mundane tasks such as fixing a config default. The refusal truncates tool arguments mid-stream, but the …
Prompt engineering alone is insufficient for production AI systems handling complex, multi-step tasks. Loop engineering, which builds repeatable cycles of goal setting, planning, action, verification, reflection, and ite…
Scientists at Aalto University and international collaborators combined machine learning with quantum physics to discover two new superconductors, YRu3B2 and LuRu3B2, and developed a faster method to search for room-temp…
Foundation models suffer from knowledge cutoffs, lack of domain-specific depth, and inability to access private data, leading to hallucinations and untrustworthy outputs. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) addresses th…
Australia aims to become the Asia-Pacific's dominant AI infrastructure hub with a A$52 billion digital infrastructure investment push by 2030, according to a Deloitte report. The government has established Data Centres A…
A developer evaluated real-time voice AI stacks for underserved languages, comparing latency and accuracy of various speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and translation models. The analysis found that a combination of Whispe…
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act (SB 315) on July 6, making Illinois the first U.S. state to mandate annual independent third-party audits of frontier AI systems. The l…
