Richard Socher's new venture Recursive raised a $4.65 billion seed round to build a "Eureka Machine" aimed at automating AI research itself, with Socher claiming a Recursive AI research system outperformed humans and the…
Microsoft researchers reported that a technique called environment-probing curation raised AI agent pass rates on the CLBench database exploration benchmark from 39% to 73% and cut task-agent cost per question from $3.38…
Elon Musk said on September 14, 2026 that Grok 4.8, a 2.5T model trained with a new C++ software stack, will finish training that week and start RL. The post from Musk's account drew 2.8 million views. The claim concerns…
Recursive founder Richard Socher outlined a technical roadmap for the "Eureka Machine," a self-improving superintelligence designed to automate scientific discovery, in a Latent Space discussion. Socher argued against AI…
Robocurve, a Y Combinator-backed Delaware Public Benefit Corporation, raised a $10 million seed round led by Initialized Capital to build an independent testing operation for AI models controlling physical robots, CEO an…
Andon Labs released Pion, an agent designed to run any company fully autonomously, opening it to a waitlist after two years of research and real-world deployments of autonomous businesses including vending machines, a st…
A developer argues that benchmark saturation and shifting evaluation methods make it increasingly difficult to judge how much better new AI models like GPT-6 Astra actually are, citing Astra's system card examples of ret…
A challenge called Goo AI Arena has opened, asking participants to use AI to build the tallest standing tower in World of Goo using all 300 balls through legal in-game building steps. The first entry, built by the author…
NVIDIA Transformer Engine is now integrated with JAX to accelerate dropless Mixture of Experts (MoE) training, targeting the conditional computation bottleneck in architectures used by DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mixtral. The in…
IBM and NASA released the NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model as open source on Hugging Face under the Prithvi family, cutting root-mean-square error in flagging likely lunar ice deposits by up to 22% against a SwinV2-B base…
NVIDIA reported that combining its Transformer Engine library with the JAX Python library raised DeepSeek-V3 MoE training throughput on NVIDIA GB200 GPUs from an unoptimized baseline of 103 TFLOPS/GPU to 1,068 TFLOPS/GPU…
A developer released neural_texture_es2, a self-contained C++ experiment that encodes an RGB image or up to four PBR material textures as a shared low-resolution latent texture plus a tiny MLP decoder, trained entirely w…
Researchers Florian Hahlbohm, Jorge Condor, Linus Franke, Martin Eisemann and Marcus Magnor published an arXiv paper introducing a compact neural appearance model for 3D Gaussian Splatting that reduces the per-primitive …
StackBlitz launched Forge on September 14, 2026, a new mode for its Bolt.new AI app builder that runs exclusively on open-source models and gives Pro subscribers up to 50 times more usage at no additional cost through Oc…
Researchers at MIT developed an algorithm called HardFlow that forced generative AI outputs to satisfy strict, non-negotiable safety constraints in simulated robotics and imaging tests, meeting the required rule every ti…
A new paper, OpenAgentFlow, proposes a control-plane architecture that enforces safety boundaries across heterogeneous AI agent fleets rather than at the individual model or tool level. The design splits an Action Plane,…
Richard Socher, founder of You.com, AIX Ventures and now Recursive, said Recursive has raised a $4.65B seed round and assembled open-endedness and self-improving-agent researchers to build an AI system that automates AI …
A healthy LLM application must consistently generate useful results while staying within acceptable limits for accuracy, safety, speed, reliability, and cost, according to a technical explainer on LLM evaluation. The pie…
A single 2B-parameter vision-language model placed first in the ≤2B parameter division of the EgoLongQA track of the Wearable-AI Challenge at ECCV 2026, scoring 0.8279 on the held-out test set. The system, described by i…
A submission to the EgoProactive track of the ECCV 2026 Wearable AI Challenge ranked first in the large-model division and second in the <=2B division, according to the team behind the entry. The task requires a wearable…
