We've heard (and written, here at VentureBeat) lots about the generative AI race between the U.S. and China, as those have been the countries with the groups most active in fielding new models (with a shoutout to Cohere in Canada and Mistral in France). But now a Korean startup is making waves: last week, the firm known as Motif Technologies released Motif-2-12.7B-Reasoning, another small parameter open-weight model that boasts impressive benchmark scores, quickly becoming the most performant model from tha

There's no shortage of generative AI benchmarks designed to measure the performance and accuracy of a given model on completing various helpful enterprise tasks — from coding to instruction following to agentic web browsing and tool use. But many of these benchmarks have one major shortcoming: they measure the AI's ability to complete specific problems and requests, not how factual the model is in its outputs — how well it...

Nvidia launched the new version of its frontier models, Nemotron 3, by leaning in on a model architecture that the world’s most valuable company said offers more accuracy and reliability for agents. Nemotron 3 will be available in three sizes: Nemotron 3 Nano with 30B parameters, mainly for targeted, highly efficient tasks; Nemotron 3 Super, which is a 100B parameter model for multi-agent applications and with high-accuracy reasoning and Nemotron...

Gen AI in software engineering has moved well beyond autocomplete. The emerging frontier is agentic coding: AI systems capable of planning changes, executing them across multiple steps and iterating based on feedback. Yet despite the excitement around “AI agents that code,” most enterprise deployments underperform. The limiting factor is no longer the model. It’s context: The structure, history and intent surrounding the code being changed. In other words, enterprises are... Read more ›
