Despite lots of hype, "voice AI" largely been a euphemism for a request-response loop. You speak, a cloud server transcribes your words, a language model thinks, and a robotic voice reads the text back. Functional, but not really conversational. That all changed in the past week with a rapid succession of powerful, fast, and more capable voice AI model releases from Nvidia, Inworld, FlashLabs, and Alibaba's Qwen team, combined with...

Today a new leak purportedly brings us our first look at its back, and it's definitely an interesting design that clearly wants to instantly make you think of digital cameras. Note that these aren't leaked images, they're allegedly created based on the design... Read more ›

It’s the question on everyone’s minds and lips: Are we in an AI bubble?It's the wrong question. The real question is: Which AI bubble are we in, and when will each one burst?The debate over whether AI represents a transformative technology or an economic time bomb has reached a fever pitch. Even tech leaders like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have acknowledged evidence of an unstable financial bubble forming around AI.... Read more ›

Every year, NeurIPS produces hundreds of impressive papers, and a handful that subtly reset how practitioners think about scaling, evaluation and system design. In 2025, the most consequential works weren't about a single breakthrough model. Instead, they challenged fundamental assumptions that academicians and corporations have quietly relied on: Bigger models mean better reasoning, RL creates new capabilities, attention is “solved” and generative models inevitably memorize.This year’s top papers collectiv Read more ›

The German AI startup Black Forest Labs (BFL), founded by former Stability AI engineers, is continuing to build out its suite of open source AI image generators with the release of FLUX.2 [klein], a new pair of small models — one open and one non-commercial — that emphasizes speed and lower compute requirements, with the models generating images in less than a second on a Nvidia GB200. The [klein] series,... Read more ›

Kilo Code, the open-source AI coding startup backed by GitLab cofounder Sid Sijbrandij, is launching a Slack integration that allows software engineering teams to execute code changes, debug issues, and push pull requests directly from their team chat — without opening an IDE or switching applications.The product, called Kilo for Slack, arrives as the AI-assisted coding market heats up with multibillion-dollar acquisitions and funding rounds. But rather than building another... Read more ›

Alfred Wahlforss was running out of options. His startup, Listen Labs, needed to hire over 100 engineers, but competing against Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million offers seemed impossible. So he spent $5,000 — a fifth of his marketing budget — on a billboard in San Francisco displaying what looked like gibberish: five strings of random numbers.The numbers were actually AI tokens. Decoded, they led to a coding challenge: build an algorithm... Read more ›

Researchers at Google have developed a technique that makes it easier for AI models to learn complex reasoning tasks that usually cause LLMs to hallucinate or fall apart. Instead of training LLMs through next-token prediction, their technique, called internal reinforcement learning (internal RL), steers the model’s internal activations toward developing a high-level step-by-step solution for the input problem. Ultimately, this could provide a scalable path for creating autonomous agents that... Read more ›

Elon Musk's social network X (formerly known as Twitter) last night released some of the code and architecture of its overhauled social recommendation algorithm under a permissive, enterprise-friendly open source license (Apache 2.0) on Github, allowing for commercial usage and modification. This is the algorithm that decides which X posts and accounts to show to which users on the social network.The new X algorithm, as opposed toto the manual heuristic... Read more ›

Recursive language models (RLMs) are an inference technique developed by researchers at MIT CSAIL that treat long prompts as an external environment to the model. Instead of forcing the entire prompt into the model's context window, the framework allows the LLM to programmatically examine, decompose, and recursively call itself over snippets of the text.Rather than expanding context windows or summarizing old information, the MIT team reframes long-context reasoning as a...

When OpenAI went down in December, one of TrueFoundry’s customers faced a crisis that had nothing to do with chatbots or content generation. The company uses large language models to help refill prescriptions. Every second of downtime meant thousands of dollars in lost revenue — and patients who could not access their medications on time.TrueFoundry, an enterprise AI infrastructure company, announced Wednesday a new product called TrueFailover designed to prevent...

ServiceNow announced a multi-year partnership with OpenAI to bring GPT-5.2 into its AI Control Tower and Xanadu platform, reinforcing ServiceNow’s strategy to focus on enterprise workflows, guardrails, and orchestration rather than building frontier models itself.For enterprise buyers, the deal underscores a broader shift: general-purpose models are becoming interchangeable, while the platforms that control how they’re deployed and governed are where differentiation now lives.ServiceNow lets enterprises dev Read more ›
