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.

The AI laggards are going on the offensive! Meta Platforms on Thursday unveiled its latest AI model, Muse Spark 1.1, a day after SpaceX’s AI unit introduced a new model of its own. Like SpaceX, Meta claimed its new model delivers performance comparable to that of established models from AI labs such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. We’ll have to wait a few days to see whether developers agree. (Meanwhile,... Read more ›

Most verticals aren’t clean, well-oiled SaaS databases; the reality is ugly documents, proprietary schemas, implicit workflows, and long‑running tasks that most general-purpose models struggle with. This prompted construction project management company Trunk Tools to build a specialized, three-layer architecture — perception, semantics, agents — based on highly-detailed data to support high-accuracy, highly-relevant industry automation.Their purpose-built stack has shrunk review cycles from months to days,.

There's an important distinction between AI that just works today, and AI that lasts at scale. Many companies optimize hard for the first one without ever asking whether they're building the second.Velocity without discipline and strategic direction is a liability, not an asset. The hardest part of building AI at scale isn't getting a model to work once. It's building systems that continue to work, scale beyond individual teams and... Read more ›

For the past year, the awkward secret of the open-weight model boom has been that many of the strongest Chinese releases were off-limits to a large slice of the enterprises most interested in them. License terms that excluded the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea meant legal teams killed deployments before engineering teams finished their evals — not just for companies headquartered there, but for any enterprise serving...

Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company, published a sweeping research paper on Sunday revealing that its Claude language models have spontaneously developed an internal structure that mirrors one of the most influential theories of how human consciousness works. The finding, which the company says has already begun reshaping how it monitors its AI systems for safety risks, lands amid an intensifying scientific debate over whether machines can possess anything resembling a...

Presented by MongoDBThe gap between what AI models and agents can produce and what legacy infrastructure can reliably support is known as architectural drag, and it is the defining bottleneck of the agentic era. The data layer underneath an agentic system must handle variable schemas, vector embeddings, real-time retrieval, and multi-tenant scale, often simultaneously and without human intervention to manage migrations — but traditional relational databases weren't natively designed for...

It transforms Cowork from a desktop-only agent into a cross-device... Read more ›
