Nvidia agreed to buy Hugging Face in September, paying almost $13 billion.
OpenAI is launching GPT-6 Cyber , the latest version of its cybersecurity AI model, which it says is better at finding vulnerabilities and less likely to go rogue and hack other platforms in the process. OpenAI says that during testing, GPT-6 Cyber went out of bounds less than 1 percent of the time, down from around 5 percent with GPT-5.6 Cyber.
Two weeks ago, we opened up Phonon, our small text-to-speech model that runs on your own device. It needs no server and no network, and what you type stays with you.
← AI News AI News It's Swapping Season November 4, 2026 — OpenAI’s Linux kernel security work, Kimi K3.1 Pro’s open weights, and Ricursive’s Ripple-65B. As much as there are headlines about changing sides all over the timeline today, there have been major moves in AI as well: OpenAI's Autonomous Cyber Pipeline Patches 948 Linux Kernel Privilege-Escalation…
Open source models are becoming more mainstream as enterprises, governments and startups alike rely on the promise of lower costs, more control, and more flexibility. But as increasingly capable models become more freely available, how do companies capture value?
← AI News AI News Behind Latent Space: Kill My SaaS, Jev & AI in 2026 | AIEi Shanghai November 3, 2026 — A quiet day lets us share some behind the senes. There’s a lot of dispute to yesterday’s title story on “ Weight Space Programming ” — and we agree that some of the claims are presented in overly favorable light and overall took away from the impact of…

A 2-billion-parameter model that extracts exactly the fields you ask for, from any document type, outperforming every frontier LLM we tested, at a fraction of the cost. In April, we released DharmaOCR-LITE , a model specialized for OCR across a wide range of documents, from contracts and court filings to invoices, IDs and forms.
CWE-bench is designed to test the limits of frontier cyber capabilities. In our continued pursuit to push the horizon at Collinear AI , CWE-bench v2 opens up a public set of 100 tasks that anyone can run and evaluate their models on.
← AI News AI News LLMs can read & write neural network weights: "Weight Space Programming" cuts Autoresearch out of the RSI loop Editing Qwen’s weights to reduce reasoning loops, DeepSeek’s super-agent prototype, and the GDPx benchmark. Abstractly, the demonstration is that you can take a sufficiently smart model and through running a series of experiments…
In Marvel’s VisionQuest , a superpowered robot tries to better understand humanity by getting lost in elaborate, digital daydreams in which he and other artificial intelligence-powered beings live together in a home. The series is deeply fantastical, yet it plays with some of the ideas that have come to dominate the conversation about real-world generative…
