Joining the ranks of a growing number of smaller, powerful reasoning models is MiroThinker 1.5 from MiroMind, with just 30 billion parameters, compared to the hundreds of billions or trillions used by leading foundation large language models (LLMs).But MiroThinker 1.5 stands out among these smaller reasoners for one major reason: it offers agentic research capabilities rivaling trillion-parameter competitors like Kimi K2 and DeepSeek, at a fraction of the inference cost.The release marks a milestone in the.

Renee Nicole Good sat idling in her car Wednesday, observing an ongoing ICE operation. The 37-year-old then attempted to drive away, reportedly at the instruction of one federal agent on scene. In response, another ICE officer shot her to death. It is possible that we still lack some significant context for Good’s killing. But her […] Read more ›

YouTube is updating search filters so users can explicitly choose between Shorts and long-form videos. The change also replaces view-count sorting with a new "Popularity" filter and removes underperforming options like "Sort by Rating." The Verge reports: Right now, a filter-less search shows a mix of longform and short form videos, which can be annoying if you just want to see videos in one format or the other. But in...

The clips are filmed from different angles. Some are zoomed in, making them indecipherably grainy, and others are slowed down. Some are 20 seconds while others are longer, sandwiched by commentary from users on social media platforms like X, Bluesky, Reddit, and TikTok. Each video - depicting the moment an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent […] Read more ›

In the fast-moving world of AI development, it is rare for a tool to be described as both "a meme" and AGI, artificial generalized intelligence, the "holy grail" of a model or system that can reliably outperform humans on economically valuable work. Yet, that is exactly where the Ralph Wiggum plugin for Claude Code now sits. Named after the infamously high-pitched, hapless yet persistent character on "The Simpsons," this newish... Read more ›

For decades, we have adapted to software. We learned shell commands, memorized HTTP method names and wired together SDKs. Each interface assumed we would speak its language. In the 1980s, we typed 'grep', 'ssh' and 'ls' into a shell; by the mid-2000s, we were invoking REST endpoints like GET /users; by the 2010s, we imported SDKs (client.orders.list()) so we didn’t have to think about HTTP. But underlying each of those... Read more ›

Four in 10 enterprise applications will feature task-specific AI agents this year. Yet, research from Stanford University’s 2025 Index Report shows that a mere 6% of organizations have an advanced AI security strategy in place.Palo Alto Networks predicts 2026 will bring the first major lawsuits holding executives personally liable for rogue AI actions. Many organizations are grappling with how to contain the accelerating and unpredictable nature of AI threats. Governance... Read more ›

Nous Research, the open-source artificial intelligence startup backed by crypto venture firm Paradigm, released a new competitive programming model on Monday that it says matches or exceeds several larger proprietary systems — trained in just four days using 48 of Nvidia's latest B200 graphics processors.The model, called NousCoder-14B, is another entry in a crowded field of AI coding assistants, but arrives at a particularly charged moment: Claude Code, the agentic...

A new study from researchers at Stanford University and Nvidia proposes a way for AI models to keep learning after deployment — without increasing inference costs. For enterprise agents that have to digest long docs, tickets, and logs, this is a bid to get “long memory” without paying attention costs that grow with context length.The approach, called “End-to-End Test-Time Training” (TTT-E2E), reframes language modeling as a continual learning problem: Instead...

The arms race to build smarter AI models has a measurement problem: the tests used to rank them are becoming obsolete almost as quickly as the models improve. On Monday, Artificial Analysis, an independent AI benchmarking organization whose rankings are closely watched by developers and enterprise buyers, released a major overhaul to its Intelligence Index that fundamentally changes how the industry measures AI progress.The new Intelligence Index v4.0 incorporates 10...

When initially experimenting with LLMs and agentic AI, software engineers at Notion AI applied advanced code generation, complex schemas, and heavy instructioning. Quickly, though, trial and error taught the team that it could get rid of all of that complicated data modeling. Notion’s AI engineering lead Ryan Nystrom and his team pivoted to simple prompts, human-readable representations, minimal abstraction, and familiar markdown formats. The result was dramatically improved model performance.... Read more ›
