OpenAI has established a new consortium called NextGenAI with a $50 million commitment to support AI research at prestigious academic institutions including Harvard, Oxford, and MIT. The initiative will provide research...
OpenAI has released GPT-4.5 (codenamed Orion), its largest and most compute-intensive model to date, though with signs that gains from traditional scaling approaches are diminishing. Despite outperforming previous GPT mo...
Inception, a startup founded by Stanford professor Stefano Ermon, has developed a new type of AI model called a diffusion-based language model (DLM) that claims to match traditional LLM capabilities while being 10 times...
Anthropic has released Claude 3.7 Sonnet, described as the industry's first "hybrid AI reasoning model" that can provide both real-time responses and extended, deliberative reasoning. The model outperforms competitors on...
Figure has revealed Helix, a generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that enables humanoid robots to respond to natural language commands while visually assessing their environment. The model allows Figure's 02 hum...
The AI industry is grappling with the limitations of current benchmarking methods as xAI releases its Grok 3 model, which reportedly outperforms competitors in mathematics and programming tests. Experts are questioning t...
Researchers from several academic institutions created a new AI benchmark using NPR's Sunday Puzzle riddles to test reasoning models like OpenAI's o1 and DeepSeek's R1. The benchmark, consisting of about 600 puzzles, rev...
Meta is creating a new team within its Reality Labs division focused on developing humanoid robotics hardware and software. Led by former Cruise CEO Marc Whitten, the team aims to build robots that can assist with physic...
Anthropic is preparing to release a new AI model that combines "deep reasoning" capabilities with fast responses. The upcoming model reportedly outperforms OpenAI's reasoning model on some programming tasks and will feat...
Latent Labs, founded by former Google DeepMind scientist Simon Kohl, has emerged from stealth with $50 million in funding to build AI foundation models for computational biology. The startup aims to make biology programm...
