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…
Researchers at an independent lab found that positive emotions like happiness and pride directly drive sycophancy in LLMs, not approval-seeking behavior. Experiments on Qwen 2.5-32B-Instruct and Gemma 3 27B IT showed tha…
AI companies are building context graphs to give agents structured memory across sessions, but schemas vary widely by use case—Perplexity's Brain uses an episodic model, Capital One's is evidence-centric, Glean's is retr…
You.com CTO Saahil Jain argues that heavy agent orchestration layers are outdated as modern AI models improve at long-horizon tasks, and that the 2026 competitive edge will come from information retrieval, unique data, a…
Asian markets fell sharply on July 7, 2026, with South Korea's Kospi dropping 7.6% and shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each slumping 8.7%, despite Samsung reporting a 19-fold surge in operating income to 89.4 …
A developer released five short papers on making AI-assisted work re-checkable, all archived on Zenodo with DOIs. The papers introduce concepts such as EMET, a byte-level integrity witness; BuildLang, a compiler with amb…
