Three years ago this week, Chat GPT was born. It amazed the world and ignited unprecedented investment and excitement in AI. Today, ChatGPT is still a toddler, but public sentiment around the AI boom has turned sharply negative. The shift began when OpenAI released GPT-5 this summer to mixed reviews, mostly from casual users who, unsurprisingly, judged the system by its surface flaws rather than its underlying capabilities.Since then, pundits...

Researchers at Alibaba’s Tongyi Lab have developed a new framework for self-evolving agents that create their own training data by exploring their application environments. The framework, AgentEvolver, uses the knowledge and reasoning capabilities of large language models for autonomous learning, addressing the high costs and manual effort typically required to gather task-specific datasets.Experiments show that compared to traditional reinforcement learning–based frameworks, AgentEvolver is more efficient.

President Donald Trump’s new “Genesis Mission” unveiled Monday is billed as a generational leap in how the United States does science akin to the Manhattan Project that created the atomic bomb during World War II. The executive order directs the Department of Energy (DOE) to build a “closed-loop AI experimentation platform” that links the country’s 17 national laboratories, federal supercomputers, and decades of government scientific data into “one cooperative system...

OpenAI expanded its data residency regions for ChatGPT and its API, giving enterprise users the option to store and process their data closest to their business operations and better comply with local regulations. This expansion removes one of the biggest compliance blockers preventing global enterprises from deploying ChatGPT at scale.Data residency, often an overlooked piece of the enterprise AI puzzle, processes and governs data according to the laws and customs...

China's DeepSeek-R1 LLM generates up to 50% more insecure code when prompted with politically sensitive inputs such as "Falun Gong," "Uyghurs," or "Tibet," according to new research from CrowdStrike. The latest in a series of discoveries — following Wiz Research's January database exposure, NowSecure's iOS app vulnerabilities, Cisco's 100% jailbreak success rate, and NIST's finding that DeepSeek is 12x more susceptible to agent hijacking — the CrowdStrike findings demonstrate how...

Remember the first time you heard your company was going AI-first?Maybe it came through an all-hands that felt different from the others. The CEO said, “By Q3, every team should have integrated AI into their core workflows,” and the energy in the room (or on the Zoom) shifted. You saw a mix of excitement and anxiety ripple through the crowd.Maybe you were one of the curious ones. Maybe you’d already... Read more ›

Microsoft has introduced Fara-7B, a new 7-billion parameter model designed to act as a Computer Use Agent (CUA) capable of performing complex tasks directly on a user’s device. Fara-7B sets new state-of-the-art results for its size, providing a way to build AI agents that don’t rely on massive, cloud-dependent models and can run on compact systems with lower latency and enhanced privacy.While the model is an experimental release, its architecture...

Large language models (LLMs) have astounded the world with their capabilities, yet they remain plagued by unpredictability and hallucinations – confidently outputting incorrect information. In high-stakes domains like finance, medicine or autonomous systems, such unreliability is unacceptable. Enter Lean4, an open-source programming language and interactive theorem prover becoming a key tool to inject rigor and certainty into AI systems. By leveraging formal verification, Lean4 promises to make AI safer, mo Read more ›

OpenAI has sent out emails notifying API customers that its chatgpt-4o-latest model will be retired from the developer platform in mid-February 2026,. Access to the model is scheduled to end on February 16, 2026, creating a roughly three-month transition period for remaining applications still built on GPT-4o.An OpenAI spokesperson emphasized that this timeline applies only to the API. OpenAI has not announced any schedule for removing GPT-4o from ChatGPT, where... Read more ›

As LLMs have continued to improve, there has been some discussion in the industry about the continued need for standalone data labeling tools, as LLMs are increasingly able to work with all types of data. HumanSignal, the lead commercial vendor behind the open-source Label Studio program, has a different view. Rather than seeing less demand for data labeling, the company is seeing more. Earlier this month, HumanSignal acquired Erud AI... Read more ›

Salesforce launched a suite of monitoring tools on Thursday designed to solve what has become one of the thorniest problems in corporate artificial intelligence: Once companies deploy AI agents to handle real customer interactions, they often have no idea how those agents are making decisions.The new capabilities, built into Salesforce's Agentforce 360 Platform, give organizations granular visibility into every action their AI agents take, every reasoning step they follow, and...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after training. The paradigm, called Nested Learning, reframes a model and its training not as a single process, but as a system of nested, multi-level optimization problems. The researchers argue that this approach can unlock more expressive learning algorithms, leading... Read more ›

Elon Musk's frontier generative AI startup xAI formally opened developer access to its Grok 4.1 Fast models last night and introduced a new Agent Tools API—but the technical milestones were immediately subverted by a wave of public ridicule about Grok's responses on the social network X over the last few days praising its creator Musk as more athletic than championship-winning American football players and legendary boxer Mike Tyson, despite having...

Infographics rendered without a single spelling error. Complex diagrams one-shotted from paragraph prompts. Logos restored from fragments. And visual outputs so sharp with so much text density and accuracy, one developer simply called it “absolutely bonkers.”Google DeepMind’s newly released Nano Banana Pro—officially Gemini 3 Pro Image—has drawn astonishment from both the developer community and enterprise AI engineers. But behind the viral praise lies something more transformative: a model built not... Read more ›
