Nvidia is doubling down on its open-source efforts, pouring investment into an ambitious new in-house AI model that it hopes will drive demand for its hardware-but that could also compete with customers and partners. Nvidia is aiming for the new model, th

Apple's bug bounty program is drowning in AI-generated bug reports. The company has capped submissions per researcher because fabricated reports are clogging the review pipeline. As a result, Italian startup Bynario was initially unable to report a seriou

The German consortium behind the AI model Soofi S has acknowledged in version 3.0 of its tech report that test questions from the science benchmark GPQA accidentally ended up in the training data. The community caught the error by examining the publicly a

At the AtCoder World Tour Finals 2026, an OpenAI system crushed all human competitors in an exhibition match, solving all five problems in the Algorithm Division. Two of those problems were rated exceptionally difficult by observers.

ByteDance introduced five new AI models at Volcano Engine's FORCE conference. The centerpiece is Seedance 2.5, a video model set to launch in early July.

To assess the competitive advantage of potential acquisition targets, Bain & Company uses Vibecoding to replicate their software. These AI replicas are already influencing specific purchasing decisions.

Google Research's Gemini-SQL2 turns natural language into executable SQL queries. Built on Gemini 3.1 Pro, it tops the BIRD benchmark at 80.04 percent accuracy, well ahead of OpenAI and Anthropic. Google says the technology could improve natural language

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI

Small language models fail at rare tasks because frequent ones constantly overwrite what they've learned. A new study with models ranging from 4 million to 4 billion parameters shows this mechanism in detail and offers a practical fix: instead of scaling

Shortly after OpenAI disproved Erdős' unit-distance conjecture, Anthropic shows Claude Mythos can solve the problem too - "over the weekend." Engineer Sholto Douglas says Mythos cracked the 1946 conjecture with a "cute, simple proof," a sign of "serious o
