When Liquid AI, a startup founded by MIT computer scientists back in 2023, introduced its Liquid Foundation Models series 2 (LFM2) in July 2025, the pitch was straightforward: deliver the fastest on-device foundation models on the market using the new "liquid" architecture, with training and inference efficiency that made small models a serious alternative to cloud-only large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT series and Google's Gemini. The initial release shipped dense checkpoints at 350M, 700M,.

Donald Trump’s second administration has been a reckoning for America, and perhaps especially for America’s Christians. From the deployment of masked paramilitary thugs to enforce immigration policy to the full-throated assault on transgender Americans to an unrelenting campaign against the rights of women and girls, reactionary Christianity is riding high. This agenda pursued by the […] Read more ›

Presented by NetSuiteMost companies racing from startup to an industry leader face a choice: limp along with scrappy early systems or endure a costly platform migration.DoorDash did neither. The local-commerce giant scaled from its 2013 founding through IPO and global expansion — acquiring the Helsiniki-based technology company Wolt in 2022 and UK-based Deliveroo in 2025 — while keeping its original Oracle NetSuite business system. Today, it serves over 50 million... Read more ›

In the chaotic world of Large Language Model (LLM) optimization, engineers have spent the last few years developing increasingly esoteric rituals to get better answers. We’ve seen "Chain of Thought" (asking the model to think step-by-step and often, show those "reasoning traces" to the user), "Emotional Blackmail" (telling the model its career depends on the answer, or that it is being accused of sexual misconduct), and complex multi-shot prompting frameworks.But...

In an impressive feat, Japanese startup Sakana AI’s coding agent ALE-Agent recently secured first place in the AtCoder Heuristic Contest (AHC058), a complex coding competition that involves complicated optimization problems — and a more difficult and perhaps telling challenge than benchmarks like HumanEval, which mostly test the ability to write isolated functions, and which many AI models and agents now regularly pass with ease ("benchmark saturation"). Sakana's accomplishment with ALE-Agent... Read more ›

Anthropic has confirmed the implementation of strict new technical safeguards preventing third-party applications from spoofing its official coding client, Claude Code, in order to access the underlying Claude AI models for more favorably pricing and limits — a move that has disrupted workflows for users of popular open source coding agent OpenCode. Simultaneously but separately, it has restricted usage of its AI models by rival labs including xAI (through the... Read more ›

Presented by SAPSAP consulting projects today involve a vast amount of documentation, multiple stakeholders, and compressed timelines, which often require manual knowledge retrieval from online SAP documentation. At the same time, cloud ERP programs now demand faster design cycles, continuous enhancements rather than big-bang rollouts, and near-real-time decision-making. Joule for Consultants, SAP's conversational AI solution, was designed to help meet these expectations and support consultants throughout t Read more ›

Enterprise security teams are losing ground to AI-enabled attacks — not because defenses are weak, but because the threat model has shifted. As AI agents move into production, attackers are exploiting runtime weaknesses where breakout times are measured in seconds, patch windows in hours, and traditional security has little visibility or control.CrowdStrike's 2025 Global Threat Report documents breakout times as fast as 51 seconds. Attackers are moving from initial access... Read more ›

A new framework from researchers Alexander and Jacob Roman rejects the complexity of current AI tools, offering a synchronous, type-safe alternative designed for reproducibility and cost-conscious science.In the rush to build autonomous AI agents, developers have largely been forced into a binary choice: surrender control to massive, complex ecosystems like LangChain, or lock themselves into single-vendor SDKs from providers like Anthropic or OpenAI. For software engineers, this is an annoyance.... Read more ›

Our LLM API bill was growing 30% month-over-month. Traffic was increasing, but not that fast. When I analyzed our query logs, I found the real problem: Users ask the same questions in different ways."What's your return policy?," "How do I return something?", and "Can I get a refund?" were all hitting our LLM separately, generating nearly identical responses, each incurring full API costs.Exact-match caching, the obvious first solution, captured only...
