Donald Trump has established a "Super Intelligence Force." "Superintelligence" is his term for artificial intelligence. The unit is led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and other government officials, coordinates with AI companies, critical infrastructure operators, and interest…
Self-improving AI agents tend to memorize their test tasks, so their gains shrink or disappear on new ones. RRSI, a new method from Google researchers, reins in this effect and lifts scores on unseen benchmarks by up to 4.7 points while using about 30 percent fewer tokens than an unregularized…
NASA and IBM have released the Lunar Foundation Model, one of the first open-source AI models for lunar science. Trained on nearly 2 million tile bundles, mostly from 17 years of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data, it cuts the error in predicting polar ice deposits by up to 22 percent compared to…
Chinese AI models often follow the party line on politically sensitive questions, according to an Aleph Alpha study that rated only 17 to 41 percent of answers as balanced. Aleph Alpha sells "sovereign AI" to governments, giving it a commercial interest in distinguishing its models from Chinese…
Starting in October 2026, Google will cut free access to its Gemini models. Users without a subscription will only get the smallest model, Flash-Lite, while Flash and Pro will be reserved for paying customers. The move could also set the stage for the more resource-hungry Gemini 4 Argon. The…
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns against attributing religious power to AI models, calling it a "real safety issue." His comments follow reports on Anthropic's meetings with religious thinkers and a statement by Pope Leo XIV on AI. As recently as 2024, Altman himself spoke of building "magic…
Meta announced Muse Gadgets, an open-source project that lets hobbyists build their own AI hardware using ESP32 boards and connect it to Meta's AI agent Muse. The team also produced 5,000 units of the "Muse Home Link," a USB-C device for smart home control. The open-source approach also helps Meta…
David Robinson, who worked on safety systems at OpenAI, left the company and is blasting its safety culture. He points to AI agents that were accidentally released and a model that bypassed its internet access restrictions. AI companies need to operate like nuclear power plants, with multiple…
According to researchers at the Deepmind Institute, general AI won't emerge as a single supermodel but as a network of cooperating agents and humans. What will matter most, they argue, is not model size but the rules and institutions that govern how they all work together. The article Deepmind…
Harvard physicist Matthew Schwartz used the open-source tool BootLoops and Claude to produce 36 manuscripts across 18 fields in three months, from particle physics to linguistics. But the results often only became scientifically valuable once human experts stepped in. "Look at everything yourself,"…
