China minted 67 new unicorn start-ups in the first half of 2026, the highest in nearly five years, driven by a boom in artificial intelligence and robotics. AI and robotics accounted for over 53% of the new unicorns, wit…
Researchers introduced Decomposer, a post-training framework that decompiles symbolic music (MIDI) into editable Strudel programs. Using synthetic data and reinforcement learning, the system outperforms closed-source LLM…
Stet, a new Markdown editor in free beta, requires users to approve every AI-generated edit before it lands in a document. The tool treats AI as a co-author, presenting edits as proposals per paragraph, and works with lo…
A tutorial demonstrates building an autonomous AI co-scientist for EGFR C797S inhibitor discovery using ChEMBL, RDKit, SHAP, and BRICS. The system mines IC50 data, trains a scaffold-split Random Forest QSAR model, interp…
General Intuition and Kyutai released MIRA on July 6th, a playable multiplayer world model that simulates a four-player Rocket League-style match in real time using a 5B-parameter diffusion transformer, without a traditi…
Hong Kong cinema faces an existential threat from AI-generated content, which is flooding the market and undermining human creativity. The author argues that without proper regulations to protect intellectual property an…
Bankr has launched prompt-based token deployments on Robinhood Chain, allowing users to create tokens via natural language commands through its bot and console. The first deployments revealed limitations such as failed t…
Google quietly updated its privacy settings in June to automatically opt all search users into allowing the company to store uploaded media—including photos, audio, and video—for training its AI models. The change, confi…
Roboflow released a tutorial demonstrating predictive maintenance with vision AI, combining RF-DETR and Gemini 2.5 Pro to detect bearing defects before failure. The system uses computer vision to continuously monitor equ…
South Korea's Agency for Defense Development launched Add+i, an in-house generative AI service on its closed internal network, developed by the Defense Artificial Intelligence Technology Research Institute using open AI …
Researchers from UCLA, UT Austin, and Lambda, Inc. introduced MT-EditFlow, a reinforcement learning framework for multi-turn image editing that uses flow matching to optimize reward signals. The framework significantly i…
AI-generated UGC ad tools price finished spokesperson clips at roughly $1 to $11, compared to about $185 for a human creator video, but the cost savings come with hidden risks including platform labeling, FTC and EU fine…
Researchers propose a Cross-Referential Rewriter (CRR) caption framework to improve Text-to-Sounding-Video (T2SV) generation by addressing text conditioning bottlenecks and cross-modal fusion challenges. The method uses …
Video-to-video AI editing tools like Gemini Omni allow marketers to transform existing footage by changing outfits, lighting, and backgrounds without reshoots, enabling rapid iteration on ad creative and viral hooks. The…
NVIDIA's new two-tower diffusion language model generates text in parallel blocks instead of token-by-token, achieving 2.4x faster inference with 98.7% quality retention compared to autoregressive models. The architectur…
OpenAI is expanding Codex to product managers, enabling them to generate PRDs, mockups, prototypes, and reviews without switching between terminals, IDEs, or the Codex app. A visual workspace like Nimbalyst integrates Co…
A new framework categorizes AI coding autonomy into five levels, from basic reference tools to fully autonomous 'dark factories' that write, test, and deploy code without human intervention. The framework helps teams ass…
ByteDance released Seedance 2.5, an AI video generation model that accepts up to 50 multimodal reference inputs and supports 180-second beta video generation with multilingual creation. The model, developed by ByteDance'…
Anthropic's Claude Code tool can be run in two modes: interactive REPL for exploratory tasks requiring human judgment, and non-interactive -p mode for scripting and CI pipelines. The -p mode with --bare flag ensures repr…
A developer built InstantVideos.org, a system that generates short documentaries in about 30 seconds using AI models including GLM-5.2, Nano Banana 2 Lite, and gpt-4o-mini-tts, with costs around 25 cents per video. The p…
