Anthropic’s PBC structure could put its AI mission ahead of shareholder returns
Gemini 4 Carbon is our strongest model with state-of-the-art cybersecurity and long horizon capabilities.
In general, LLM performance is incredibly multidimensional. There's no guarantee of a fixed ordering where the model that is best at math is also the model that's best at jokes. Despite that complexity, much of the variation in…
Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson on building the backend for AI agents
Today, we are rolling out immersive explorations in the new Gemini student hub.
We are excited to announce the release of PyTorch® 2.15 (release notes)! The PyTorch 2.15 release features the following changes: Rewritten NCCL backend becomes the default, with a flight recorder... The post PyTorch 2.15 Release Blog…
XREAL AURA, the first wired XR glasses powered by Android XR, lets you work, watch, and play anywhere with Gemini by your side.
We’re announcing new connected apps partners and a new platform for developers to build and track their apps in one place.
I'm at GitHub Universe today (GitHub gave me a free ticket through their "GitHub Stars" program). EVP Jay Parikh just announced this year's Octoverse report, and highlighted these numbers in particular: This is a pretty stark…
OpenAI and ServiceNow expand their partnership to bring OpenAI models and agents into ServiceNow and ServiceNow workflows into ChatGPT and Codex.
I've written before about how November 2025 was an inflection point for coding agents - the point where Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.1 crossed a tipping point that meant their respective coding agents became reliable daily drivers for software…
A sort of review of the benchmarking industry and what's missing.

Vision--Language--Action (VLA) models generate robot actions from visual observations and language instructions, but their understanding of physical dynamics remains limited. Video world models can capture scene dynamics, yet…
Diffusion video models produce striking clips, but they cannot reliably render an exact formula, a correct chart, a rule-consistent game or narration synchronized to on-screen events. A different route is emerging: multimodal agents…
Discrete visual tokens represent vision in a discrete form analogous to language, offering a native interface for multimodal modeling under a shared next-token prediction objective. However, quantization error is widely assumed to…
Video captioning aims to preserve visual information through compact descriptions, predominantly using natural language. However, precisely expressing fine-grained spatial structures and temporal dynamics in natural language often…
Multimodal perception forms the foundation of multimodal intelligence. In particular, spatial perception and multimodal long-context understanding are two pivotal tasks that underpin embodied AI and multimodal agents. However…
Novel view synthesis and 3D reconstruction have advanced rapidly with radiance fields and splatting, yet their memory and computational demands limit their use in resource-constrained settings. We introduce Hexels: novel planar…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have made substantial progress in robotic manipulation, but their generalization remains constrained by the diversity and coverage of action-labeled robot demonstrations. Human videos provide much…
Test-time adaptation helps a deployed model respond to changing inputs, but the same intervention can rescue one batch and damage the next. Updating normalization statistics, for example, can improve corrupted images yet fail when a…
We introduce Heads of Security (HoS), a prompt injection defense that enforces instruction-data separation via a small set of learned per-head attention gates. HoS learns how each head should redistribute attention between trusted and…
Relations compose through the entity they share - Alice is Bob's mother and Bob is Carol's father, so Alice is Carol's grandmother - and the order matters, since a father's mother is not a mother's father; verifying a composed…
