OpenAI has launched GPT-5, its latest model, which is reported to offer improved performance, reasoning, and tool utilization. GPT-5 joins other advanced models like Claude Opus 4.1, illustrating a rapidly progressing landscape in artificial intelligence. While discussions of artificial general intelligence (AGI) continue, DeepMind’s CEO Demis Hassabis has suggested that this AI era could have […]

Enterprises currently face the challenge of acquiring sufficient compute resources for their AI models. However, Sasha Luccioni, AI and climate lead at Hugging Face, suggests a different approach: enhancing AI efficiency rather than simply increasing computational power. She questions the prevalent mindset of pursuing more FLOPS and GPUs, advocating for smarter methodologies that focus on

Nvidia has announced the release of its new small language model (SLM), Nemotron-Nano-9B-V2, which follows recent trends in developing compact AI models that can run on devices like smartwatches and smartphones. This model has been optimized to perform effectively with 9 billion parameters, reduced from its original 12 billion, allowing it to operate on a

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, and Databricks have developed a new AI optimization technique known as GEPA (Genetic-Pareto). This method aims to enhance the adaptation of large language models (LLMs) to specialized tasks, outperforming traditional reinforcement learning (RL) methodologies. GEPA distinguishes itself by moving away from traditional trial-and-error learning methods that

TensorZero has secured $7.3 million in funding to develop an open-source AI infrastructure stack aimed at assisting enterprises in the scaling and optimization of large language model (LLM) applications. This initiative focuses on providing integrated tools for observability, fine-tuning, and experimentation, which are essential for enhancing the effectiveness of LLMs in various business environments. The

Prime Video has unveiled new images from the upcoming second season of Fallout. The returning cast includes Lucy (played by Ella Purnell), the Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and Maximus (Aaron Moten), who will navigate the post-apocalyptic landscape of New Vegas. In addition, Kyle MacLachlan reprises his role as Lucy’s father, Hank, and Moises Arias returns as

Overview of Obsidian and Leadership Insights from CEO Steph Ango Casey Newton hosted CEO Steph Ango of Obsidian on the Decoder podcast to discuss the app’s unique approach to note-taking and productivity. Obsidian, launched in 2020, operates as a Markdown-based software that stores files locally, enabling users to create a personal knowledge base without relying

Anthropic has introduced a new feature for its Claude AI chatbot that allows it to terminate conversations considered “persistently harmful or abusive.” This capability is available in the Opus 4 and 4.1 models. The chatbot will exercise this option as a “last resort” after users repeatedly request harmful content despite prior refusals. Anthropic’s intention with

Grammarly has announced the launch of several AI agents designed to tackle specific writing challenges faced by both educators and students. These tools are aimed at assisting educators in identifying plagiarism and AI-generated content, while also providing students with resources to assess reader reactions to their work, obtain citation support, and even predict potential grades.

In recent discussions about gadgets and apps, several notable items surfaced, including a robotic vacuum called the Narwal Flow. This device distinguishes itself with a mopping PAD that extends to clean the edges of walls. Two versions are available: a standard model and one with a compact dock that connects to plumbing. Preorders are currently
