Verizon reports on a three-stage approach for businesses to test AI agents (crawl, walk, run), ensuring proper oversight and access limitations before granting independence.
The deal struck by Oracle and its billionaire chairman Larry Ellison would have provided Tencent with access to up to 100,000 AI chips located at Asia-based data centers over a five-year term.
Meta has acquired Conductor, an AI coding startup that lets software engineers manage multiple coding agents simultaneously, sources familiar with the deal tell Axios exclusively. Why it matters: Meta is joining OpenAI and other AI giants in a race to own the tools developers use,
Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft and Apple rallied, while several AI-chip, memory and data-centre stocks fell. Investors weighed hopes of moderated spending against the possibility of tighter AI and data-centre oversight.
Smartsheet, the AI-powered enterprise work management platform, today announced new platform capabilities at ENGAGE 2026, its annual customer conference.
Learning a universal action representation from video requires modeling dynamics that are consistent across different executions of the same action yet invariant to changes in embodiment and appearance. Existing latent action models infer actions from visual transitions, but their representations often entangle the underlying action with irrelevant visual variations, limiting transfer across embodiments. We introduce DreamX, which repurposes a pretrained video diffusion model as a universal latent action learner. Our approach extracts compact latent actions from the video model's rich spatiotemporal features, compressing each latent video frame by $\boldsymbol{300\times}$ ($\boldsymbol{1{,}200 \rightarrow 4}$ tokens). In addition, by leveraging the video model's generative prior, these latent actions capture action-relevant dynamics disentangled from visual appearance. The resulting latent space serves as a shared action interface across embodiments (human and robot), environments, and action parameterizations. On LARY-Bench, DreamX achieves state-of-the-art performance among latent action models. Moreover, actions encoded in one setting remain effective in another: the latent…
Pika H3 Flex is a post-trained H3 model, designed to give professional creators the flexibility and speed to explore with precision. Optimized for greater control, it generates video with synchronized audio in six sampling steps and supports up to 12 reference inputs, with shot…
We study multitask regression when coefficient sharing can differ by predictor. For a given predictor, many tasks may have the same coefficient while a few differ, and the exceptional tasks need not be the same for another predictor. We describe this structure by two…
An agent that interacts with users over long periods must recall facts, preferences, events, and changes from a continuously growing interaction history. Existing memory systems often compress interactions into generic summaries or retrieve anonymous text chunks, making it…
Learning a sparse graph from scarce data is practically important but challenging. Motivated by the desirable combination of local sparsity and strong global connectivity exhibited by expander-like graphs, we propose spectral connectivity-regularized graph learning (SCoGL), a…
Time series agents answer analytical questions by calling external tools, and which tools they carry is decided by people before the agent runs. However, we identify two failures in this setup. Human-Agent Tool Misalignment: a library of 21 expert-curated tools helps on some…
