A new framework from Stanford University and SambaNova addresses a critical challenge in building robust AI agents: context engineering. Called Agentic Context Engineering (ACE), the framework automatically populates and modifies the context window of large language model (LLM) applications by treating it as an “evolving playbook” that creates and refines strategies as the agent gains experience in its environment.ACE is designed to overcome key limitations of other context-engineering frameworks, preventin

One of President Donald Trump’s boldest campaign pledges was to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) completely free. Yesterday, the Trump administration released its long-awaited proposals — which are nowhere making IVF free, or even significantly more affordable. That promise, a late gamble to win back women voters aggrieved by the GOP’s hostile stances on reproductive rights, […] Read more ›

A month before Apple introduced the iPhone 17 lineup, Google debuted its new Pixel 10 smartphone line. Since both companies have brand new flagship devices, we thought we'd do a comparison to see which one has the better camera technology. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. With Apple adopting a camera "plateau" instead of a camera bump, the camera setup for the two smartphones looks more similar... Read more ›

Instant coffee beat drip coffee in blind taste tests conducted by researchers at the Drexel Food Lab. Jonathan Deutsch and Rachel Sherman tested 84 participants across two rounds of tastings for The Guardian's Filter US newsletter. They first narrowed 24 instant coffee varieties to the best options. Those finalists then competed against drip coffees in a second test. 77% of participants preferred instant coffee over drip. The top-performing instant coffee... Read more ›

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are gaining renewed attention for developing and open sourcing a technique that allows large language models (LLMs) — like those underpinning ChatGPT and most modern AI chatbots — to improve themselves by generating synthetic data to fine-tune upon. The technique, known as SEAL (Self-Adapting LLMs), was first described in a paper published back in June and covered by VentureBeat at the time.A... Read more ›

Enterprises often find that when they fine-tune models, one effective approach to making a large language model (LLM) fit for purpose and grounded in data is to have the model lose some of its abilities. After fine-tuning, some models “forget” how to perform certain tasks or other tasks they already learned. Research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign proposes a new method for retraining models that avoids “catastrophic forgetting,” in... Read more ›

AI tools are revolutionizing software development by automating repetitive tasks, refactoring bloated code, and identifying bugs in real-time. Developers can now generate well-structured code from plain language prompts, saving hours of manual effort. These tools learn from vast codebases, offering context-aware recommendations that enhance productivity and reduce errors. Rather than starting from scratch, engineers can prototype quickly, iterate faster and focus on solving increasingly complex problems.As. Read more ›

The Dfinity Foundation on Wednesday released Caffeine, an artificial intelligence platform that allows users to build and deploy web applications through natural language conversation alone, bypassing traditional coding entirely. The system, which became publicly available today, represents a fundamental departure from existing AI coding assistants by building applications on a specialized decentralized infrastructure designed specifically for autonomous AI development.Unlike GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or othe Read more ›

When Walmart and OpenAI announced that the retailer would integrate with ChatGPT, the question became how quickly OpenAI could deliver on the promise of agents buying things for people. In the battle of AI-enabled commerce, getting agents to securely complete transactions is one of the biggest hurdles. More and more, chat platforms like ChatGPT are replacing browsers and getting very good at surfacing information people search for. Users will ask... Read more ›

Agents are the trendiest topic in AI today — and with good reason. Taking gen AI out of the protected sandbox of the chat interface and allowing it to act directly on the world represents a leap forward in the power and utility of AI models.The word “agent” has been used in different ways, however, and there have been some overheated claims about what agents can do. The rhetoric, the... Read more ›

It cross-references that data with your internal sales numbers, drafts a strategy outlining three potential reasons for the... Read more ›

Presented by SolidigmAs AI adoption surges, data centers face a critical bottleneck in storage — and traditional HDDs are at the center of it. Data that once sat idle as cold archives is now being pulled into frequent use to build more accurate models and deliver better inference results. This shift from cold data to warm data demands low-latency, high-throughput storage that can handle parallel computations. HDDs will remain the... Read more ›
