It was a big week for agentic artificial intelligence at Walmart and Amazon as the two companies outlined plans to capitalize on the technology’s momentum
OpenAI acquires Orchestra Bio to expand AI agents for drug development, creating new opportunities and challenges for life sciences technology partners.
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is a minor update to DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, delivering substantial improvements across reasoning, coding, agentic tasks, and visual benchmarks. Alongside these gains, the model reduces task execution time and output length, enabling users to complete…
The AI startup Recursive is unveiling Flint, its first language model, a 40-billion-parameter MoE for local coding developed by former DeepMind researchers. It was created in four months using the company's in-house AI system, "Eureka Machine," which independently tests and…
Masked diffusions are popular generative models for discrete distributions. Unlike standard autoregressive sampling, they reveal several coordinates in parallel, approximating each block's joint conditional law by a product of one-coordinate conditionals. The resulting…
Learning to defer asks a predictive system when to act autonomously and when to defer to a human expert. Population-adaptive deferral extends this problem to unseen experts using a small context set of expert behavior. Neural context encoders such as L2D-Pop can be…
Learning large-scale vision-language-action (VLA) models from multi-embodiment datasets remains challenging due to heterogeneous action spaces across end effectors. Although latent action models (LAMs) can learn embodiment-agnostic action representations from diverse video…
Urban transportation networks present complex optimization challenges spanning calibration of high-fidelity simulators and real-time operational control. This paper presents a shared latent-space framework that connects simulator calibration and reinforcement learning control…
