Explore our reporting on how AI and robotics change work, business and the world.
Xiaomi researchers released an audio-language model for spatial questions. Its preprint reports stronger directional benchmark scores with two-channel input, while complex scenes remain difficult.
OpenAI is taking applications from eligible U.S. university labs for up to 30 sponsored ChatGPT Business seats and GPT-Rosalind access, subject to verification, approval and activation.
Google expanded its paid News AI pilot to more than 400 publications. Its article overviews and audio briefings remain experiments without disclosed deal prices or traffic results.
Meta released Muse Spark Open weights on October 15. Its BF16 and NVFP4 checkpoints, hosted APIs and Muse Model License give developers several routes with distinct limits.
Simons, Anthropic and OpenAI have committed $15 million in combined funding and resources. The foundation will manage awards for mathematicians to examine AI-assisted work and develop standards.
Mistral's Timestral package produces 21 quantiles per forecast step. This documentation-only guide covers local setup, output axes, covariates and a held-out comparison.
Google traced one peptide candidate through sequence, structure and genomic checks with Antigravity. Its predicted activity still awaits lab results.
Google's shared cart now rolls out in U.S. Search and Gemini. It can track products from several retailers, while checkout follows Google Pay or each merchant's own cart and the merchant remains the seller.
NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Super VL vision-language weights on October 15. The model supports text, images, video and tool-use workflows, with substantial hardware and evaluation requirements.
Canonical's Myna preview can dictate into a focused app on supported Ubuntu GNOME Wayland desktops. Follow the documented PPA setup and check its limits.
404 Media tested ads in ChatGPT. OpenAI's documentation explains how customer lists and conversation context can influence delivery, while internal hashing of raw identifiers remains unclear.
A version-pinned, documentation-only guide to enabling and checking AI-DLC 2.11.0's human plan-approval gate before code generation.
Agility named Nyobolt for Digit 5's planned fast-charge battery system. Its run, charge and 20-hour daily-work figures are preliminary company claims, with early access expected in 2027.
The hosted Voice Agent API now uses Grok Voice 3.0. An independent simulated support score rises, while first-audio time increases and the listed voice price has a separate text charge.
CERN and Mistral signed a statement of intent for AI in physics. Existing CMS reconstruction work predates the proposed foundation-model partnership.
NVIDIA introduced early-access cuPotential and detailed partner work across chip design, manufacturing simulation and inspection. Public libraries and partner plans have different access paths.
ASML reported €11.7 billion in third-quarter sales and said customers' AI investment plans are lifting equipment forecasts. Its projected supply gap for 2027 and 2028 remains a management assessment, while interest in 2029–30 orders has yet to become orders.
ARENA awarded up to A$31.1 million for local production and deployment of panel-placement and piling robots. Earlier trials show field use, while the new factories, fleets and proposed night work remain plans.
