Пользуюсь СберМобайл, недорого, eSIM, в целом устраивает — но иногда хочется посмотреть, что там у конкурентов. Листал как-то приложение Билайна и наткнулся на «Сравни тариф». Штука простая: выбираешь своего оператора, вводишь номер, приходит SMS с кодом, вводишь его — и Билайн тебе говорит: «Вот, смотри, у нас дешевле». Ну ок, думаю, прикольно. Ввёл код, посмотрел оффер.А потом задумался — а как они вообще узнали мой тариф Читать далее Read more ›

The generative AI era began for most people with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2022, but the underlying technology — the "Transformer" neural network architecture that allows AI models to weigh the importance of different words in a sentence (or pixels in an image) differently and train on information in parallel — dates back to Google's seminal 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need."Yet while Transformers deliver unparalleled...

In 2026, data engineers working with multi-agent systems are hitting a familiar problem: Agents built on different platforms don’t operate from a shared understanding of the business. The result isn’t model failure — it’s hallucination driven by fragmented context.The problem is that agents built on different platforms, by different teams, do not share a common understanding of how the business actually operates. Each one carries its own interpretation of what... Read more ›

Chinese electronics and car manufacturer Xiaomi surprised the global AI community today with the release of MiMo-V2-Pro, a new 1-trillion parameter foundation model with benchmarks approaching those of U.S. AI giants OpenAI and Anthropic, but at around a seventh or sixth the cost when accessed over proprietary API — and importantly, sending less than 256,000 tokens-worth of information back and forth.Led by Fuli Luo, a veteran of the disruptive DeepSeek...

A rogue AI agent at Meta took action without approval and exposed sensitive company and user data to employees who were not authorized to access it. Meta confirmed the incident to The Information on March 18 but said no user data was ultimately mishandled. The exposure still triggered a major security alert internally.The available evidence suggests the failure occurred after authentication, not during it. The agent held valid credentials, operated...

The future of AI isn’t just agentic; it’s deep personalization. Rather than simple recommender systems that correlate user behavior to identify patterns and apply those to individual workflows, large language models (LLMs) and AI agents can analyze users directly to create deeply personalized experiences. It’s this kind of aggressive customization users are increasingly demanding — and the savviest enterprises who provide it (and soon) will win. The goal is: “Don't... Read more ›

Voice AI is moving faster than the tools we use to measure it. Every major AI lab — OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, xAI — is racing to ship voice models capable of natural, real-time conversation. But the benchmarks used to evaluate those models are largely still running on synthetic speech, English-only prompts, and scripted test sets that bear little resemblance to how people actually talk.Scale AI, the large data annotation...
