At 620 million monthly users, calling a frontier model for every image recommendation isn't a strategy — it's a bill. Pinterest CTO Matt Madrigal solved it by gutting Qwen3-VL's vision layer and rebuilding it with proprietary embeddings, cutting costs 90% and boosting accuracy 30%.Madrigal’s team has been heavily investing in customizing open-source models “foundationally in-house.” “If you've got really unique data that you can then fine-tune an open source model with, data quality will, frankly, outweigh.

Amazon MGM has dropped Luca Guadagnino's nearly completed Sam Altman biopic Artificial and is seeking another distributor for the film. The move comes months after Amazon expanded its multibillion-dollar partnership with OpenAI, fueling speculation about a potential conflict given the movie's reportedly unflattering portrayal of Altman. The Independent reports: Artificial would have marked the Oscar-nominated Call Me By Your Name director's third Amazon film, following the critically acclaimed Zendaya-led t Read more ›

Ultrahuman is best-known for its smart rings, but the company recently branched out with a red light therapy device. Today, the company is introducing the Ultrahuman M2 Live, a platform for continuous glucose monitoring. This is actually based on the Lingo Glucose Biosensor by Abbott. It’s available over-the-counter and does not require a prescription. M2 can also work with Abbott’s Libre 3 Plus sensor. The Lingo sensor streams data to... Read more ›

Если вы работаете с Claude Code или Cursor на большом проекте, знаете боль: просишь “найди, где обрабатывается авторизация”, а агент гоняет grep по ключевым словам. Если функция называется validateUserSession, а вы спросили про “авторизацию” — grep её не найдёт. Это ограничение текстового поиска, и его решает семантический поиск через эмбеддинги. Я уже разбирал CodeGraph и SocratiCode из этой ниши, теперь поставил третий — cocoindex-code. Зацепил тем, что ставится в две... Read more ›

Norway will largely prohibit generative AI use for elementary kids ages 6 to 13 beginning with the new school year, while allowing limited, teacher-supervised use for older students. The government says the restrictions are intended to prevent children from skipping foundational reading, writing, and mathematics skills amid declining test scores. Reuters reports: Facing a broad decline in education test scores, the government in 2024 banned smartphones from schools and has... Read more ›

The US government last night issued an unprecedented export control directive ordering Anthropic to immediately suspend all access to its top-tier Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals, citing unspecified national security authorities. In response, Anthropic has blocked all public access to both models, globally — meaning no users around the world can access them at this time, even paying enterprise customers and Anthropic employees internally....

The history of distributed computing is one of protocol proliferation followed by consolidation. Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), Java remote method invocation (RMI), and early simple object access protocol (SOAP) competed for the enterprise integration market in the late 1990s before representational state transfer (REST) quietly won by being simpler and HTTP-native. Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), Internet Relay Chat (IRC), an Read more ›

Presented by SplunkAI has changed the economics of cyber deception.An attacker can now generate thousands of convincing phishing lures, fake identities, and tailored pretexts before a defender finishes a single change-control cycle. That is the new security challenge: deception got faster and cheaper, while verification did not.Much of the discussion around AI for defense centers on detection models. Detection matters, but it is not the only bottleneck. The deeper constraint... Read more ›

AI coding agents are rapidly accelerating data engineering by generating transformations, pipelines, orchestration workflows, validation tests, and infrastructure configurations from prompts. However, enterprise data platforms have long operated across fragmented systems owned by different teams and built on different technologies. As these systems evolve independently, organizations increasingly struggle with inconsistent business logic, duplicated implementations, difficult downstream impact analysis, and Read more ›

Organizational leaders are nearly twice as likely to hide their AI use compared to all other employees, at 42% versus 23%, according to new Ivanti research surveying 3,900 employees across six countries. Among leaders who conceal that usage, 52% say they do it for a "secret advantage." The same research found 85% of IT professionals claim a named owner exists for every AI agent. Only 42% say ownership is actually... Read more ›

Tokyo-based AI startup Sakana AI has officially launched its first commercial product, Sakana Marlin. Billed as a "Virtual CSO" (Chief Strategy Officer), Marlin is an autonomous, B2B research agent that deliberately abandons the instantaneous text generation of modern chatbots in favor of deep, long-horizon reasoning. What sets Marlin apart from the current ecosystem of AI tools is its temporal scale: instead of returning an answer in seconds, it runs continuous,... Read more ›

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella published a sweeping essay on Sunday laying out what he describes as the defining economic challenge of the AI era: the risk that a handful of frontier models will absorb the expertise of entire industries and commoditize it, leaving businesses stripped of their competitive moats."The last thing any of us want is a world where every company across every sector is ceding value to a few...

One of the assumptions behind today’s AI frameworks is that agents require a “boss” at the center; this orchestrator runs the show, routes requests, and makes sure the whole system doesn’t descend into chaos. That assumption may be wrong, and the cost of carrying it could be measured in inference dollars and coordination latency. A new Stanford framework called a decentralized language model, or DeLM, is built on the premise... Read more ›

Today, Chinese AI startup Z.ai (formerly Zhipu AI) announced the immediate release of GLM-5.2, a 753-billion parameter open-weights large language model (LLM) engineered specifically to dominate "long-horizon" autonomous coding and engineering tasks. Available immediately on Hugging Face, the Z.ai API, and more than 20 third-party coding environments, the model boasts a highly stable 1-million-token context window alongside enterprise subscription tiers starting at just $12.60 per month.
