New results suggest Mythos' cyber threat isn't "a breakthrough specific to one model."

Decoupled relation alignment method (DRSA) for extending graph foundation models to multi-domain heterogeneous graphs.

Companies are taking control of their own data to tailor AI for their needs. The challenge lies in balancing ownership with the safe, trusted flow of high‑quality data needed to power reliable insights. This conversation from MIT Technology Review’s EmTech AI conference examines how AI factories unlock new levels of scale, sustainability, and governance—positioning data…

Anthropic gates new Claude capabilities (Ultraplan, Ultrareview, Cloud Security) behind paid Cloud plans rather than open releases, fragmenting the skill ecosystem and limiting composability.

Combinatorial Complex Weisfeiler-Lehman test extending WL expressiveness framework to unified topological structures.

Apple's support app includes claude.md files, indicating internal Claude integration or documentation.

Developer demo of generative game engine using Gemini 3 for spell generation with 6-player multiplayer physics simulation.

The Pentagon has struck deals with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Elon Musk's xAI, and the startup Reflection, allowing the agency to use their AI tools in classified settings, according to an announcement on Friday. At the same time, the Defense Department has left out Anthropic - which it previously used for classified information - after declaring it a supply-chain risk. This builds upon deals with OpenAI and xAI, which have already reached agreements with the Pentagon for the "lawful" use of their AI systems. A report from The Information suggests Google has struck a similar a...

Intel releases AutoRound, a low-bit quantization algorithm optimized for CPU/XPU/CUDA with vLLM and Transformers compatibility.

Obfuscated Natural Number Game benchmarks LLM prover architectural reasoning vs. pattern matching; evaluates formal theorem-proving capabilities beyond saturation.

Elon Musk spent the better part of three days on the witness stand this week in his lawsuit against OpenAI, and it’s already getting messy. Emails, texts, and his own tweets are surfacing in court, and there are plenty more witnesses to come. Musk’s argument against OpenAI? By converting the company to a for-profit model, Sam Altman betrayed the “nonprofit for the […]

MathArena: continuously-maintained evaluation platform aggregating mathematics benchmarks to track LLM progress; successor to static math benchmarks.

Introduces mini-batch Markov risk measures and multipattern Q-learning with regret bounds for risk-averse finite-horizon MDPs.

Elon Musk is the one who wanted this trial. He has spent months claiming OpenAI "stole a nonprofit," and saying he was the actual driving force behind one of the most important companies currently in tech. All indications are that he won't win his case against the company, but he's fighting it anyway. So you'd think he'd have done better when it was his time to take the stand.
