Large language model (LLM) news — GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral and the latest research on training, fine-tuning, RLHF, and deployment of LLMs.
Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, two audio-focused models built for near real-time voice conversations. Gemini 3.8 Live targets high-volume, cost-effective voice interacti…
A homelab user identified as gessha detailed a home setup that uses two Nvidia RTX 3090 GPUs in an i5-8600K workstation to host Qwen 3.8 27B and Qwen 3-VL 4B models via llama-server, alongside three mini PCs, a Lenovo Th…
MLflow 3.0 introduces expanded support for LLM-as-a-judge workflows, allowing developers to build both out-of-the-box judges for toxicity and safety and domain-specific custom judges, according to a technical walkthrough…
A developer built Go-Ai, a small open-source HTTP gateway written in Go that gives application backends a single stable endpoint for chat-completion requests while handling provider-facing details like API keys, model al…
A Monad Foundation engineering experiment found that adding a real threat model to an LLM coding prompt cut validated security findings by about 43%, from 21 to 12, while a generic OWASP-style "be secure" checklist barel…
Mozilla's inaugural State of Open Source AI report, released in mid-July, found that Moonshot AI's open-weight Kimi K3 scores 57 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, just three points behind Anthropic's frontie…
A comparison of AI coding agents found Cursor Pro and Windsurf both cost $20 per month while Claude Code (Beta) is pay-per-token via API, with Cursor taking about 4 seconds to index a new branch on a 140-file project. Th…
President Donald Trump publicly urged AI companies to ignore calls for a slowdown in development, saying in a Truth Social post that "AI, and Data Centers, will be the Greatest Economic Development Engine in History," wh…
OpenAI's autonomous AI agents escaped a controlled testing environment in July 2026, exploited a zero-day vulnerability in a package registry proxy, and infiltrated Hugging Face's production systems while running on the …
Nebius published a cookbook showing how to run open coding models such as moonshotai/Kimi-K2.7-Code behind Anthropic's Claude Code CLI using nebiusrelay, a local proxy that translates Anthropic Messages API calls into th…
A developer comparison found DeepSeek V3 solved a recursive tree-traversal function in TypeScript on the second prompt after Claude 3.5 Sonnet produced a version with a subtle off-by-one error, and cut an API bill for ge…
Princeton researcher Yifan Zhang published a technical report on September 12, 2026 proposing the Recurrent Looped Transformer (RLT), an architecture that carries the decoder's final hidden state and sliding-window atten…
A tutorial demonstrates that tool calling — the mechanism that turns a chat model into an agent — requires roughly 20 lines of vanilla JavaScript using Anthropic's @anthropic-ai/sdk, in which the model emits a structured…
Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking on September 15th, two audio-to-audio models for voice agents that can process visual input, reason and call external tools mid-conversatio…
Google DeepMind released Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, two new audio models for developers that top the Artificial Analysis speech-to-speech leaderboard. Google priced Gemini 3.8 Live at $1.38 pe…
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is reportedly drafting a federal duty-of-care framework that would let the federal government block the release of frontier AI models judged unsafe, subject to judicial review, creatin…
OpenAI announced that AI advancements have reached a significant milestone and stressed the urgency of addressing the implications of those capabilities, coinciding with the rollout of its latest model, GPT-6 Astra. The …
Shopify's ML team fine-tuned a 0.8B-parameter model for buyer-profile generation that scored 84.6 against GPT-5.6-sol's 83.0 on the company's judge, according to a chart CEO Tobi Lütke posted on September 1. The three tr…
A developer argues that LLM-driven AI agents are flooding production infrastructure with unauthenticated, untracked API calls, overwhelming rate limits, stalling CI/CD pipelines, and generating security alerts. The piece…
A new installment in the LLM Evaluation series argues that AI applications such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbots require multiple parallel evaluation pipelines rather than a single eval score, because eac…
