Gradium, a Paris-based startup that offers voice AI models, reopened its seed round to new investors, including Nvidia, and has now raised $100 million total for the round, it said Thursday . The company is using the cash to open an office in the Bay Area and compete for talent there, “strengthening its position at the heart of the world’s leading AI…
When it comes to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models just don’t have what it takes. Models like ChatGPT and Claude are great at text, but they’re less skilled at understanding how things actually move through space and time — an essential skill for producing intelligence that generalizes.
Congrats to Meta Superintelligence on having the top 2/3 image/video models in the world! This would’ve been a candidate for a title story, but unfortunately that is pretty much all the detail we have about Muse Image/Video - no paper, no technical detail whatsoever.
Microsoft cut around 4,800 roles, or 2.1% of its global workforce, on Monday — the latest in a series of layoffs that’s stoking fears that AI will replace people at companies. The layoffs will hit Xbox and commercial sales the hardest, with Xbox losing 1,600 staffers today, according to memos shared with Microsoft’s staff.
At the event “The Briefing: AI for Science” earlier this week, Anthropic announced Claude Science , a new “ AI workbench for scientists ” that pulls fragmented tools and datasets into one environment, and generates figures and visuals. Anthropic, already dominating the industry with its popular coding tools and powerful AI models, framed the launch around…
Artificial intelligence is rewriting the world, and simultaneously inventing a whole new language to describe how it’s doing it. Sit in on any product meeting, pitch, or panel these days, and you’ll hear people toss around LLMs, RAG, RLHF, and a dozen other terms that can make even very smart people in the tech world feel a little insecure.
Following the Trump directive that led Anthropic to pull its latest AI models offline and growing calls for sovereign tech that reduces reliance on the U.S. , Mistral AI has been caught in a whirlwind of attention.
Hugging Face and Cerebras bring Gemma 4 to real-time voice AI For voice AI, latency is a critical parameter. Developers have made tremendous progress in model quality, but the user experience is still often limited by response times.
Three former DeepMind researchers who created an AI that beat humans at poker have now applied the same technology to trading stocks — and the bet appears to be paying off. Their Prague-based AI lab, EquiLibre Technologies , is now valued at $500 million after raising an undisclosed-sum Series A, TechCrunch learned.
Anthropic introduced Claude Science on Tuesday, an AI workbench that gives scientists one environment to do computational research, sparing them the hassle of bouncing between databases, pipelines, and tools. To be clear, Anthropic says Claude Science is “not a new AI model and not a more capable model for biology.
We continue our series about distillation. In the AI of the week, we discuss Meta’s amazing AutoData paper.
As soon as I entered General Intuition’s R&D floor at its New York office, the company’s 31-year-old co-founder and CEO Pim de Witte directed my attention to a monitor perched on a standing desk. Someone appeared to be playing something like Fortnite.

The brief history of Meta-Harnesses is a little undocumented, but it roughly goes: at first there was Conductor and Zed’s ACP , then there came OpenInspect , Cloudflare’s Flue , and then Vercel’s Eve and HarnessAgent , and Heypi . It should not go unnoticed that today’s podcast guest Matei Zaharia, CTO of the enormously successful (for a pre LLM era…
Top AI researchers Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel are leaving Google for Anthropic, according to Bloomberg . Per the report, Adler and Pritzel played key roles in the development of Google’s Gemini model.

As we wrap up our series about alternatives to transformer architectures, Google DeepMind just released one of the most impressive models in this category. DiffusionGemma is a text-diffusion model that challenges the conventional transfromer models.
We start a new series about distillation where we are going to cover all the cool techniques in the space. In the AI of the week, we are going to cover Alibaba’s new models for robotics.
We continue our series about alternatives to transformers. Our opinion section discusses an intriguing thesis: systems of action vs.
At Microsoft’s annual Build conference on Tuesday, the company announced a slew of new or expanded AI initiatives, including a super app, in-house reasoning models, a cybersecurity tool, and OpenClaw-esque AI agents.

Anthropic is seeing Sparks of RSI , OpenAI’s ChatGPT has finally crossed 1B MAU ~5 months behind schedule and improved memory , and SpaceXAI is explaining its IPO to people who might not know they will be forced into buying it . None of which are as important as getting your AIEWF tickets and hotels and tuning in to the latest pod with Andon Labs !
The new AIEWF website is live! Get your tickets booked ASAP as they -will- sell out.
Some of the AI industry’s biggest rivals have put their many , many grievances aside for a common cause: making it harder for people to use their technology to develop biological weapons. In an open letter to US lawmakers, tech leaders are pressing Congress to enact rules closing what they say is an alarming biosecurity gap that could help trigger a global…
Anthropic is regarded as a giant among AI companies, but perhaps what it really excels in is anthropomorphism. Earlier this year, the company released an 84-page document titled Claude’s “constitution,” Claude being the name of the large language model that is the company’s flagship product.
