Traditional language models rely on autoregressive approaches, which generate text sequentially, ensuring high-quality outputs at the expense of slow inference speeds. In contrast, diffusion models, initially developed for image and video generation, have gained attention in text generation due to their potential for parallelized generation and improved controllability. However, existing diffusion models struggle with fixed-length… Read more

So soon after Specter Divide, a multiplayer shooter developed by Mountaintop Studios, announced its pending shut down which will take its studio with it, is yet another live-service game going offline. Today, Star Wars: Hunters developer Zynga announced the game will be sunset on October 1st. Hunters is a class-based arena shooter featuring original characters… Read more

OpenAI’s new API and Agents SDK consolidate a previously fragmented complex ecosystem into a unified, production-ready framework. For enterprise AI teams, the implications are potentially profound: Projects that previously demanded multiple frameworks, specialized vector databases, and complex orchestration logic can now be achieved through a single, standardized platform. But perhaps most revealing is OpenAI’s implicit… Read more

In recent weeks, Apple has been unable to escape headlines about its slow progress with everything having to do with Siri and artificial intelligence. The company has officially delayed features first promised last June intended to modernize Siri and give Apple a much-needed boost in the AI race. We still don’t know when those Apple… Read more

Amazon is discontinuing a feature that allowed users of some of its Echo smart speakers to choose not to send their voice recordings to the cloud. According to an email the company sent to users that was posted on Reddit, it will disable the feature that allowed select Echos to process Alexa requests locally on… Read more

Anthropic is one of the world’s leading AI model providers, especially in areas like coding. But its AI assistant, Claude, is nowhere near as popular as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. According to chief product officer Mike Krieger, Anthropic doesn’t plan to win the AI race by building a mainstream AI assistant. “I hope Claude reaches as many… Read more

OpenAI and Google are pushing the US government to allow their AI models to train on copyrighted material. Both companies outlined their stances in proposals published this week, with OpenAI arguing that applying fair use protections to AI “is a matter of national security.” The proposals come in response to a request from the White… Read more

Enhancing the reasoning abilities of LLMs by optimizing test-time compute is a critical research challenge. Current approaches primarily rely on fine-tuning models with search traces or RL using binary outcome rewards. However, these methods may not fully exploit test-time compute efficiently. Recent research suggests that increasing test-time computing can improve reasoning by generating longer solution… Read more

ClickHouse, known for its high-speed analytical database, has acquired HyperDX, an open-source observability platform built on its technology. The acquisition integrates HyperDX’s UI and session replay capabilities with ClickHouse’s database performance.  A core competence of ClickHouse is its ability to analyze large-scale datasets in real time, making it a popular choice for users that require… Read more

Ambitious businesses are already eyeing the next leap forward in AI technology fuelled by the growing imperative to deliver business success driven by digital innovation. AI investment is growing at 29% Compound Annual Growth Rate and will hit $632bn by 2028, with almost a third of this being invested in GenAI projects.[1] The next horizon… Read more
