Suno's new v6 AI music model is its first made with support from the record industry. Suno's Jack Brody told The Verge that v6 was "trained from the ground up, with a new set of data that does not include the same data that our previous models were trained on." The data includes content licensed from partners Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, as well as "user data." It's unclear whether that means v6 training data is completely free of dubiously obtained content. One of the big changes in v6 is that there are actually three different models: v6, v6-wild, and v6-mini. Mini is the model ava...

Open AI CEO Sam Altman speaks during the G20 Innovation Ministerial. | (Photo by Matt RAMEY / AFP via Getty Images) OpenAI's announcement Tuesday that it has solved one of mathematics' legendary Millennium Prize problems should have been a moment of triumph. The result is both an undeniable achievement and a striking demonstration of just how rapidly AI is transforming mathematics. But before it was even formally announced, the breakthrough had been complicated by the unusual circumstances that prompted OpenAI to pursue the problem: After hearing other researchers were making progress, it see...

At Wednesday's iPhone Duo launch event, Apple announced a handful of new Siri AI Audio Intelligence features, including Siri Recap, Live Rewind, Sound Recognition, and Music Recognition. Alongside its announcement, Apple released a document laying out how it plans to balance AI "ambient listening" and users' privacy. It says the raw audio from the new features "is handled within dedicated hardware, is not saved as a file, and is not accessible to the operating system, apps, or Apple." Apple explains that Audio Intelligence relies on the Secure Exclave in the S11 chip that powers the new Apple...

Encode-prefill-decode (EPD) disaggregation is an inference optimization technique for multimodal models that separates the vision encoder stage from the prefill... Encode-prefill-decode (EPD) disaggregation is an inference optimization technique for multimodal models that separates the vision encoder stage from the prefill and decode stages. It is most effective for image-heavy prompts, short-to-medium outputs, and quantized mixture-of-experts (MoE) models. This post shows when and how to use EPD disaggregation with NVIDIA Dynamo to achieve up to 5x… Source

Apple says its new watches won’t save raw audio, but features that can transcribe recent speech and summarize ambient conversations raise new questions about consent, privacy, and how people behave when they know they could always be recorded.

Every NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit release adds functionality and performance improvements that help developers get more from NVIDIA GPUs and the broader NVIDIA software platform. CUDA Toolkit 13.4 adds support for Windows on Arm. CUDA applications have long been supported on Arm platforms through Linux; this release extends that capability to the Windows on Arm platform.

US urges AI firms to ID, then secretly switch, Chinese users to less-capable models.

The main event was the tech giant's highly anticipated first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo.

Apple is launching a new way to prove that the picture you took isn't manipulated by AI. A new feature, called "Reference Image," will arrive with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup later this month and is supposed to use the device's new camera sensor to "sign every pixel it sees." The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will only authenticate photos when placed into Reference mode. Once the camera captures signed sensor data, Apple says its Private Cloud Compute will develop it "into an unalterable reference image" that can be viewed in the Photos app. You'll be able to compare the reference image with other v...

Apple says it used AI and 3D printing in the manufacturing process for its long-awaited foldable phone.
