Microsoft on Thursday launched three new foundational AI models it built entirely in-house — a state-of-the-art speech transcription system, a voice generation engine, and an upgraded image creator — marking the most concrete evidence yet that the $3 trillion software giant intends to compete directly with OpenAI, Google, and other frontier labs on model development, not just distribution.The trio of models — MAI-Transcribe-1, MAI-Voice-1, and MAI-Image-2 — are available immediately through Microsoft Foundr

Walmart is trying to make its Sparky assistant smarter and more capable for shoppers by collecting more real-world data on how people shop inside its 3,500-plus U.S. superstores. Gathering more in-store information has been a focus for the company since Sparky launched about a year ago, said Hari Vasudev, Walmart’s U.S. chief technology officer, and the retailer plans to expand those efforts. That could include tracking when shoppers talk with... Read more ›

Привет, Хабр! На связи Артем Колесников, Product Marketing Manager в Garage Eight. Сегодня хочу поговорить с вами про фокус‑группы, а точнее про один из их вариантов.Обычно фокус-группы — это дорого, долго и почти всегда они работают с опозданием: вы зовете людей, когда уже сверстали лендинги, выпустили фичи и согласовали продвижение. Но с помощью современных LLM можно создать синтетическую фокус-группу, чтобы тестировать идеи, УТП, фичи, цены как после релиза, так и... Read more ›

Когда я начал строить свой умный дом, мне пришла в голову простая мысль: а насколько он вообще умный?Возможность включить свет с телефона или голосом — это удобно, но назвать такое освещение по-настоящему умным можно лишь с большой натяжкой. На мой взгляд, умное освещение должно самостоятельно понимать, когда его нужно включить, а когда выключить, не требуя участия человека.Самым очевидным местом для экспериментов оказалась ванная комната.Если вопрос с вытяжкой решился довольно быстро...

The data processing agreement (DPA) — the bedrock contract companies use to evaluate how vendors handle personal data — can no longer be trusted at face value. That is the central, and arguably most alarming, conclusion of DataGrail's Privacy and AI Trends Report 2026, released today.The San Francisco-based privacy platform analyzed 2,400 popular business software providers and found that 63.6% of vendors that prominently advertise AI capabilities do not disclose...

Merck is using AI agents to cut drug discovery cycles by a third and ship compliant marketing materials up to 80% faster — but VP of Digital Platforms Sean Finnerty says the only reason it's working is because they built the infrastructure first.And the pharmaceutical manufacturer is seeing promising early results: AI is generating marketing drafts that are “99% right” when it comes to compliance, shrinking review cycles from months...

Among the many Chinese AI companies and laboratories vying for market share and attention (no pun intended) on the global marketplace, MiniMax stands out for its commitment to providing frontier-level intelligence across a range of modalities, including text, coding, and video (through its Hailuo model series) — often under permissive, enterprise-friendly, standard open source licenses. Now, MiniMax is again raising the eyebrows of AI power users and developers around the... Read more ›

Presented by EquinixDigital systems are central to economic resilience. But the governance models supporting them were designed for a bygone era, when systems were smaller, often centralized, and rarely crossing multiple jurisdictions. This structural mismatch is driving the realization across boardrooms and governments that data sovereignty is not only core to critical infrastructure, but its implications determine the trajectory of the global economy.The scale of change is forcing the issue....

When Miro’s data team pointed AI agents directly at its Snowflake environment, the agents got the wrong answer more than 65% of the time. The problem wasn’t the model — it was context. With more than 10,000 tables and no semantic layer to guide routing, the agents had no way to know which data assets matched which business questions.DataHub is releasing a context intelligence layer Thursday that mines existing SQL...

Cloud design software company Figma is officially transforming its AI design assistant, Figma Make, from a prototyping sandbox into a live, visual software editor that connects natively to production codebases. Announced today, the update allows product managers, designers, and non-technical builders to import an existing Git repository directly into the Figma desktop app, visually edit the application's underlying code via the canvas, and push those changes back to engineering through...

DeepSeek’s announcement over the weekend that it has made its 75% price cut permanent on its flagship V4 Pro model is a disruptive assault on the capital-heavy business models of Silicon Valley’s frontier labs. The reduction on DeepSeek V4 Pro directly undercuts comparable Western models used as workhorses for enterprise production. It is 7x cheaper on inputs and 17x cheaper on outputs than Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet or OpenAI’s GPT 5.5-Med,... Read more ›

Test-time scaling (TTS) has emerged as a proven method to improve the performance of large language models in real-world applications by giving them extra compute cycles at inference time. However, TTS strategies have historically been handcrafted, relying heavily on human intuition to dictate the rules of the model’s reasoning. To address this bottleneck, researchers from Meta, Google, and several universities have introduced AutoTTS, a framework that automatically discovers optimal TTS... Read more ›
