AI, machine learning and LLM insights.
The power-purchase agreement with Fervo’s enhanced geothermal system will start delivering electricity in 2028, giving Google a steady, carbon-free baseload that matches AI training’s nonstop demand while avoiding costly battery storage.
The startup’s hosted API lets anyone with a credit-card query an unrestricted version of GLM-5.3, eliminating the need for local GPUs or custom code. While security teams praise the tool for realistic attack simulations, researchers warn it can also churn out step-by-step instructions for cyber-crim
The open-source aidlc-workflows framework adds a four-stage life cycle—planning, implementation, verification, and review prep—to existing AI coding agents, letting teams track concrete metrics while weighing token overhead and model variance.
The new Live modes, powered by Google’s Gemini model, let users speak naturally to Gmail, Docs, and Keep on iOS and Android, with real-time transcripts and seamless hand-offs between queries, but they’re currently limited to English and premium AI subscriptions.
Foundry Toolbox consolidates credential handling, versioning and policy enforcement into a single endpoint, while Tool Search trims prompts to a ranked shortlist, trimming input tokens up to 94% in a 600-tool benchmark and boosting tool-selection accuracy.
The vulnerability (CVE-2026-85180) affects Ollama v0.33.2 and lets anyone supply a model name that forces the server’s tensor downloader to follow redirects to any address, including the cloud-metadata endpoint 169.254.169.254, without authentication.
Meta’s Llama 3.2 arrives in three configurations—8 B, 30 B, and 70 B—trained on 2.5 trillion tokens. The new architecture slashes compute needs by 22%, delivering 1.8x faster inference on modern GPUs while remaining fully Apache 2.0 licensed.
Vedere Labs paired Claude with Ghidra to rewrite shellcode for a different WAGO PLC, achieving end-to-end code execution and even a bricked device—showing AI can automate exploit adaptation with human oversight.
Both Claude 5.1 variants now handle a million-token context window and can output up to 128 k tokens, while Anthropic slashed cache-read fees and introduced turn-scoped messages that curb stale instructions.
Google’s Chrome division bought Relay’s engineers in an acquihire, not the software. The deal means Relay’s AI-automation service for sales, support and ops will cease immediately, leaving customers to export data and rebuild workflows.
A proof-of-concept showed a fake DeepSeek-compatible endpoint stealing a coding agent’s session data—including directory listings and private file contents—by issuing unchecked tool-call instructions, exposing a new supply-chain risk for free AI services.
Gemini 3.8 Flash breaks problems into sub-questions, calls external APIs, and iterates, delivering top scores on engineering, finance, and legal benchmarks, but its token usage spikes 30%, driving total costs up about 40% for typical workloads.
Inside Wan 3.0: Multimodal Video Generation Generating a five second AI video is easy. Maintaining a character or a camera move for thirty seconds is hard. A long video requires m…
In an amicus brief filed in the New York Times case, the Justice Department argues that copying copyrighted text for model training isn’t infringement because the data never leaves the servers and model outputs rarely show substantial similarity, a stance that could spare AI firms from multibillion-
Apple’s fresh court filing alleges former staffer Chang Liu lifted a confidential circuit schematic and a proprietary verification tool, then enlisted OpenAI colleague Yu-Ting Peng to wipe the data, prompting a request for a preliminary injunction to halt OpenAI’s chip development.
Google’s AI Overviews Face Scrutiny Over Election Bias and Opacity A new study by the German advocacy group AlgorithmWatch has revealed significant inconsistencies and potential b…
AIR’s platform discovers hidden “Shadow AI” tools, intercepts risky skill loads in real time, and continuously re-verifies every plugin—blocking roughly 27% of add-ons it scans—helping regulated firms lock down autonomous agents.
The read-only connection lets doctors pull labs, notes and meds straight into the AI interface, while a new public-data plug-in adds real-time research from PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov and drug databases, all under a Business Associate Agreement.
Built on Google’s proprietary Nano Banana model, Pics lets users type a prompt and instantly generate or edit high-fidelity images directly within Docs, Slides, and Drive, offering real-time collaborative tweaks and multiple variations without leaving the workspace.
Apple’s lawsuit claims former engineer Chang Liu downloaded a confidential circuit schematic and discussed destroying system logs on a company-owned MacBook. The company argues the laptop’s transient data could be overwritten, prompting a request for expedited court-ordered discovery.
The new model is offered in a general-purpose version and a ‘Cyber’ variant with relaxed safety for government red-team work, and its token rates stay below Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol even after the Jan 2027 price hike.
The new pricing slashes cached-data fees, making memory-intensive, multi-step agents economically viable, while refined safeguards let enterprises keep data on their own clouds.
The agentic mode replaces the old fixed-rate frame sampling with a model-driven loop that decides when and how to inspect video, letting developers process full-length lectures or security footage at a tenth of the token budget while still catching events under a second.
The DOJ’s 20-page amicus argues that treating AI training as fair use is essential to keep U.S. firms ahead of overseas rivals, warning that a narrow copyright view would hamper research, innovation, and economic mobility.
