Machine learning news — deep learning, reinforcement learning, neural architecture search, diffusion models, and new ML frameworks and libraries.
More than 200 civil-society organizations, led by Access Now and Amnesty International, are demanding an immediate ban on AI in military kill chains after reports revealed that Palantir's Maven Smart System, integrated w…
A developer built a chess bot using a transformer architecture with 11 million parameters, achieving a 1500 Elo rating from the model alone and 2100 Elo when combined with Monte Carlo Tree Search. The bot is available as…
Researchers used machine learning to re-examine old seismic data from Antarctica, discovering hundreds of previously unknown intermediate-depth earthquakes far from plate boundaries. The findings, published in Science, c…
Perion CEO Tal Jacobson argues that chief marketing officers lack credible answers to CFOs' demands for proof of advertising ROI due to fragmented marketing technology infrastructure that measures activity rather than bu…
The PyTorch Foundation has opened nominations for its 2026 Contributor Awards, recognizing individuals who strengthen projects like PyTorch, vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion, and Safetensors through technical innovation, doc…
AI startup Aaru, cofounded by 21-year-old Ned Koh, accurately simulated nearly 2 million New York voters in the city's primary mayoral election, coming within 2,000 votes of the final count. The company uses AI agents bu…
A developer built a Naive Bayes spam filter from scratch using only word counts and Bayes' rule, without gradient descent or iterations. The filter visualizes which words push a message toward spam or ham, and an interac…
The Allen Institute for AI released MolmoMotion, a language-guided 3D motion forecasting model that predicts future 3D point trajectories of objects based on video frames and action descriptions. Alongside the model, the…
A new paper-thin, flexible AI sticker sensor node called Ghost Edge has been developed, built around the Nordic Semiconductor nRF54L15 wireless SoC. The device uses a flexible printed circuit board to conform to curved s…
A developer evaluated DeepSeek V4 Flash and Gemini 2.0 Pro for a high-volume ranking system processing 12 million inference calls daily, finding DeepSeek V4 Flash achieved a p99 latency of 1.18 seconds within a 2.4-secon…
Nvidia, Carnegie Mellon University, and UC Berkeley researchers developed ENPIRE, a system where AI coding agents autonomously train robots in dexterous grasping tasks. Using a fleet of eight robots that share results vi…
Maker Sritabh Priyadarshi built MiniSoul, a pocket-sized desktop companion robot that uses an ESP32-S3 SuperMini and a 0.96-inch OLED to display evolving emotions. The device runs a custom behavior engine tracking six pe…
An engineer on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) built a scale-to-zero AI inference system on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) using KEDA to eliminate costs from idle GPUs. The system scales GPU pods down to zero when ther…
A data scientist improved a music genre classification model from a 0.15 F1 baseline to a 0.9031 F1 ensemble by recognizing that the Kaggle competition's test data, which consists of noisy mashups, required a data-centri…
A developer released Microcrad, a reimplementation of Andrej Karpathy's Micrograd automatic differentiation engine in C, designed for educational purposes to demonstrate backpropagation on scalars. The library uses refer…
Nvidia demonstrated an agentic robotics system called ENPIRE that taught fleets of robots to perform dexterous tasks, including handing a GPU to another arm and positioning it over a motherboard. The system, which uses 8…
A developer built an evaluation pipeline for LLM-based RAG systems that runs on every deploy to detect drift and hallucinations. The pipeline uses RAGAS with LLM-as-judge to measure faithfulness and answer relevance on p…
A senior developer working locally in Central and Eastern Europe earns €2,800–€5,000 per month in 2026, while the same developer working remotely for a US or UK company earns €5,000–€10,000. Romania's tech market is spli…
A developer published a practical guide for benchmarking large language models on coding tasks in 2026, using the OpenAI Eval suite to compare models like Claude-Opus-2026, Gemini-Flash-Pro, and Mistral-7B-Instruct acros…
Databricks announced five new additions to its Free Edition, including Genie Code, serverless GPUs, Lakebase, Agent Bricks, and Lakeflow Designer, giving users a complete toolkit for building end-to-end data and AI proje…
