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...

Security teams are buying AI defenses that don't work. Researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind published findings in October 2025 that should stop every CISO mid-procurement. Their paper, "The Attacker Moves Second: Stronger Adaptive Attacks Bypass Defenses Against Llm Jailbreaks and Prompt Injections," tested 12 published AI defenses, with most claiming near-zero attack success rates. The research team achieved bypass rates above 90% on most defenses. The implication for... Read more ›

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...

LinkedIn is a leader in AI recommender systems, having developed them over the last 15-plus years. But getting to a next-gen recommendation stack for the job-seekers of tomorrow required a whole new technique. The company had to look beyond off-the-shelf models to achieve next-level accuracy, latency, and efficiency.“There was just no way we were gonna be able to do that through prompting,” Erran Berger, VP of product engineering at LinkedIn,...

For the modern CFO, the hardest part of the job often isn't the math—it's the storytelling. After the books are closed and the variances calculated, finance teams spend days, sometimes weeks, manually copy-pasting charts into PowerPoint slides to explain why the numbers moved.Today, 11-year-old Israeli fintech company Datarails announced a set of new generative AI tools designed to automate that "last mile" of financial reporting, effectively allowing finance leaders to...

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...

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 ›

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 ›

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 ›

Agentic systems and enterprise search depend on strong data retrieval that works efficiently and accurately. Database provider MongoDB thinks its newest embeddings models help solve falling retrieval quality as more AI systems go into production.As agentic and RAG systems move into production, retrieval quality is emerging as a quiet failure point — one that can undermine accuracy, cost, and user trust even when models themselves perform well.The company launched four...
