A long-suspected result in an exotic quantum state of matter, now confirmed by two independent teams, and a candidate ingredient for quantum computers that resist their own errors.
Figma's remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server accepts only approved AI tools; the Pi AI coding client is not on the list, and developers must apply through their Figma account team to get in.
Same data, same model — 65% to 77% on the same money-laundering detection task came from rewriting what each label meant.
Brian Chesky on the fall search update, why travel resists the single-bot pattern, and what 'multiplayer' planning could look like.
Open code from Ai2 keeps model 'experts' (specialized sub-networks) resident on each GPU and routes data to them; Ai2's benchmarks show parameters scaling 10× with under 5% throughput loss, on NVIDIA B300 GPU clusters.
An Apple research team defines semantic calibration as whether a model can predict which answer it is about to give, and finds that human-feedback fine-tuning degrades it in tested settings.
A startup's retrospective case study recovered diagnoses a specialist lab had already flagged; that is a useful mechanism and a hard limit on what it proves.
At NeurIPS 2026, a major AI research conference, researchers located a single, thin part of the model that tracks who is vouching for a claim.
Stratos proposed 40,000 acres and 9 gigawatts in Box Elder County. A bipartisan county fight stopped it. The lesson is how the next campus gets permitted.
Nvidia says its 100-partner Open Agent Safety Platform can cut off autonomous AI systems at the silicon layer in milliseconds, reframing AI safety as a buildable infrastructure problem.
Surrey researchers published an npj Quantum Information proposal for a qubit built from charge-neutral superfluid helium-3. The 100x error-reduction figure is a theoretical prediction, not a lab result.
UCLA's Ozcan lab pairs a lightweight digital encoder with a programmable spatial light modulator (a chip that shapes light to do the math) to run 15 video streams through one optical pass, with the 97.
